Mac McGinnis #80 | The Man Who Refused Die, Meeting His Deceased Grandma... "She told me to go back"
In this episode, I sit down with Mac McGinnis—a guy who’s not just lucky to be alive, but who straight-up refused to die. Mac takes us through his insane journey: a skiing accident that should’ve killed him, flatlining four times, and somehow coming out the other side stronger than ever. We talk about his vivid dreams during a month-long coma, the fight to walk again, overcoming painkiller addiction, and the life lessons he’s picked up along the way. If you’ve ever needed a reminder of just how resilient the human spirit is, this one’s for you.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
