Episode One: Keeping it human
Welcome to the impatient podcast: a place for patient stories, a challenge to patient care, a change for patient outcomes.
We are kicking our conversation off with one of the more complicated questions in health: why can't we just treat a patient like a human?
Sean and Nicole reflect on their own patient weeks and we all learn a little more about lung function tests (and how not to communicate test results).
We are incredibly fortunate to be joined by Adam Cubito, entertainment publicist and bowel cancer patient, who shares his diagnosis, his professional insights, and some truly staggering truths about how plain bad health communications can be.
Enter Joni Thomes, Associate Director at Palin Communication and health communications expert. Joni unpacks the challenges of communicating about bowel cancer - the varied audience, the crowded health conversation, and the perplexing reality of having two names for the same cancer.
And there we have it - a new patient health podcast! The start of a conversation that invites everyone to the one table. We hope you join us there too!

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.
