Some nights never leave you. For Jen, Sara, and Sara’s boyfriend, that night was April 30th, 2008—a night that started in silence and ended in screams, shadow figures, and a hospital resuscitation.

Jen wasn’t a thrill-seeker. She was a hardworking woman with roots in Ukraine. But after one trip back to the old country, she returned with more than memories. She came back with a spirit—the apparition of a little famine girl from the 1930s Holodomor. At first the girl appeared in dreams, pale and hollow-eyed but calm. Soon, Jen began to see her in waking life.

And then, one night, everything changed.

Jen woke to find five shadow beings at her bedside—four feet tall, their mouths lined with jagged white teeth. Floating above them was the famine child. With a wave of her arm, Jen was thrown from her bed by an unseen force. Terrified, she clutched her Bible to her chest, whispering for help as her body froze, trembled, and refused to breathe properly.

By the time Sara and her boyfriend found her, Jen was rocking on the floor, repeating strange phrases: “Ice. Thaw. I don’t know.” Hours later, in the ER, she drifted into an unresponsive state—breathing but unreachable. She wouldn’t respond to touch, pain, or voices. Until one phrase shattered the silence.

Her boyfriend leaned in, speaking in Ukrainian: “God sees you. He sees everything. God is here.”

Instantly, Jen’s eyes fluttered open. She came back. Alive. Awake. Shaken.

Doctors wrote it off as a rare anxiety reaction. But Sara and her boyfriend knew better. They had seen the five shadows. They had heard her screams. They had watched her body betray her.

And they’ll never forget the night when only God’s name, spoken in the language of her ancestors, saved Jen from the darkness.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
