Welcome back to the impatient podcast.
This week we are diving straight back into the pointy issues: who exactly defines success in our health system? Hint - it doesn't appear to be the patient.
We are so fortunate to be joined by Susannah Castelli, a health professional herself, who shares her very real experience of the health system. Her vulnerability and sincerity, as well as her expert knowledge, come together in what is such an insightful account of the failings of our health system. We hope the system is listening.
We then welcome Dr Philip Smart, colorectal surgeon, for a chat about communication, transparency, the opportunity presented by data, and the tendency for the health system to undervalue patient input.
Another essential conversation. If you are a patient with a story, or a health professional who wants to join our system improvement discussion, please get in touch via our website!

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.
