Speaker 1 (00:01):
Well, look at here.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
You are listening to someone who is bold, authentic, diverse, unpredictable. Baby,
I am unapologetically ramon and you have entered my zone,
the QB Zone.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Baby. Hello, somebody.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Rock now? Of course we're down to the QB Zone
for one more episode, of course, and I thank you
guys for joining me. I have a question. Have you
ever been on a bad date? And when you think
back to that particular date, if your answers yes, what
(01:11):
made the day bad? What did the other person do
that just messed it up for you? Or let me
ask another question, has a day ever went bad because
you ruined it? Because you dropped the ball. I'm gonna
have a little fun with joab to day because I
wanna talk about dates a and just how people can
(01:36):
ruin a date. And actually I have ten unconventional ways
or really unintentional ways that a s date can be sabotaged.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
We can have all the right.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Pieces in place to have a perfect date, whether it's
the chemistry or the location or whatever you know, but
unintitionally we go on these dates, and I have ten
things that we can do to just mess it up.
And I'm curious as you listen to these ten things.
(02:14):
How many you've experienced or how many you've committed yourself.
You know, the delicate dance of dating. I feel like
dance is definitely a dan. I feel like dating is
definitely a dance or a gang. Sometimes can be both,
and it could be a nerve wrecking game where one
wrong move can send everything spiraling into disasters. Sometimes without
(02:39):
even realizing it, we commit social full pause that can
quickly turn a promising evening into a cringe worthy memory.
What I'm gonna talk about or what I'm gonna share,
as I stated once again, is ten unintentional ways you
might unknowingly ruin or someone you know a date.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
So sit back and let's just.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Go ahead and dive into the first one. This one
is called the phone addiction. Basically is when your phone
stills a spotlight. Nothing screams disinterests more than being glued
to your phone throughout dinner. Your date is right in
front of you, eager to connect, but your attention keeps
(03:28):
drifting back to that tiny screen. Remember, real conversations beat
virtues any day. Now, let's be clear though, there, Let's
just just i'manna add something in here. I think at
times though you being glued to your phone is probably
the only reason that's keeping you there because the other
(03:48):
person's probably of boring as hell, and the conversation just
ain't doing it for you.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
It's not giving what you thought I was gonna give.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
So it's like either you put this this phone or
the day gonna be over one point five seconds now.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
The second thing that.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
We can do unattention to ruin a date is tmi overload.
This is basically when you overshare a lot. Yes, honesty
is essential in any relationship, but there's the difference between
being open and flooding your date with personal details that
(04:26):
you probably should save for later. Some stuff just ain't
first date conversation. You know, keep it light, keep it fun,
save the heavier stuff for when the time is right now.
Number three is fashion faux pap. This is basically where
(04:47):
you're dressing for a date and the way that you
dress is a disaster or you might not have You
know you overdressed? Are you underdressed?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
You feel me?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So putting effort into your outfit shows you care that
it's clear right. You want somebody to look good, dress good,
carry themselves a certain way. It makes you feel like
all they really want to put their best foot forward.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
In meeting you. You know what I'm saying, But being overboard
can lead to a fashion disaster.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Mismatch socks, overly flashy accessories, or inappropriate tire can be
very distracting and give off the wrong impression.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And depending on where your.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Data is, the venue where y'all gonna be going, what
you're gonna be doing, you should keep it stylish but comfortable.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Number four food fiascos.
Speaker 2 (05:52):
This is basically when the menu becomes your worst enemy.
Choosing what to eat can be minefield. I want to
use a different word, but I'm just gonna say a minefield.
Ordering the smelliest dish on the menu, insisting on messy foods,
or just being a picky eater can create awkward moments.
(06:16):
You should opt for easy to eat options and be
mindful of your dining etiquette. I know, like for me personally,
I don't like and this could be weird me personally,
I don't let my hands be spent like food like
it drives me crazy.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
I do not want my hands smelly and messy with food.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
So for example, although I love ribs, although I love
you know, specifically, barbecue ribs.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
You know, I love.
Speaker 2 (06:44):
Hot wings, especially with certain sauces or mayonnaise. I'm not
even not on no date, at least not the first date,
because your hand get out messy, and you know, when
this food is real good and.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It's hitting the way I need to hit, I'm gonna
forget you there.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I'm gonna be quiet, and it's gonna be me and
my food having a good time. So for me, I
do try to keep it light.
Speaker 3 (07:07):
And easy going.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
A salad, pasta, not nothing with no red sauce, because
I have nothing.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
My luck is horrible.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Last thing I needed spaghetti salt spots on my gap
during clothes maybe a sandwich, maybe like a you know,
nice little bot or whatever. But for me, more than
there's gonna be some kind of fancy salad.
Speaker 3 (07:29):
Or oh I love salamon.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
I could eat salmon every gap during day, so I
probably could see myself having a fish rice that, you know,
something simple. The next thing is gonna be number five.
Money matters. Basically, this is the concept of splitting the beer.
It's the topic that can go a variety of directions.
(07:57):
Right me personally, I do feel as if me being
the man, if I'm organizing the day. If I'm you know,
I'm asking you on a date and this you know this,
you know I'm initiating this.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
You know what I'm saying, you should be paying. I
should be paying for it. Excuse me, I I I me,
I A should be paying for it.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
I think that once we're in a relationship, and you know,
we've been together for not a long time, but once
we don't get a few dates on our belt and
really enjoy each other, I don't think it's anything.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
If the female.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
Decided to trying to treat her man to a day,
I don't think I think that's dope.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
I think that's cool. I think any man will appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
Now, I think I think that just to include everybody.
If you are someone who is have a preference for
both or you know the same gender, so you know,
you're a female going out with other female, you're a guy.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Going out of a guy. I don't know about that one.
I guess whoever planing the date should be the one
that paid. When you're dealing with you know, certain gender
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Or I think that we should just get more into hell,
this is how I got the conversation. That's just before
we even ask us out on the date, maybe strike
up a conversation and trying to pick they brain on
certain topics, and I can probably give you a deal
of kind of what their mentality or what the ideas
are when it comes to certain things like that. But
you know, the bill arrives and something, the atmosphere just
(09:32):
turns tense. Have you ever been on the date you
having a good time, or the vibe is okay, you
know it's it's you're content, you're satisfied, it's good enough,
you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
But baby, as soon as that.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Black leather thing come with that piece of paper in between, baby,
the whole vibe just change. How you ever experienced that?
Just the whole atmosphere kind of turned tense. Figuring out
the appropriate way to handle the check can be tricky.
Be clear on your ex expectations, but also willing to compromise.
Remember it's not about the money but the gesture. Now
(10:08):
I think also, yeah, nah, I'm just gonna go back
to my original thought. I do feel like, as the
man you should pay.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
I do have some male friends who I like the
girls should pay. Sometimes.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
Then I have some male friends to fraternity brothers. Baby,
you better not there.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Putting no car or touch your wallet like you're finna
pay for something.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
So you know, once again, just make sure everybody's on
the same page as far as expectations, because last thing
you want is thinking, oh, we're finna go and split
a bill, and then she looking like you, she looking
at you or the other person like you like, okay, player,
you're ready to pay. What we're gonna be doing next?
You know number six, number six, it's number six. Bad
(11:02):
jokes galore. Sometimes your humor just missed the mark. Okay,
laughter is essential for something some some people, it's a
huge turn on.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Like it. I could tell you right now for me,
if you made me laugh, my god.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
You you damned that got behooked like I just I
love humor.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I love to laugh.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
It's oh my god, I loved it ever since I
was a child.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
If you, yeah, if you can make me.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Laugh, we you really got a lot of you starting
out on the great foot.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Got a lot of extra points here. You know. Laughter
is essential.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But what happens when your jokes fall flat, you overuse sarcasm,
inappropriate humor or inside jokes that leave your date feeling
left out. Can be a recipe for disaster. Light in
the mood, but be sure to gauge the sense of
humor first. That's why I feel like before we go
(12:05):
on it, Before you go on a date, you should
at least have a conversation, just kind of get a
feeling for the kind of person they are, so you
not just walking in, really walking in blinded. Number seven
x talk This is what I like to say a
call when the past haunts the present, bringing up excess
(12:30):
can be a major turnoff. No one wants to feel
like they're competing with a ghost from your past. Focus
on the present moment in getting to know your date
instead of rehashing old relationships. Number eight PDA overload. This
is basically when public dispace of affection just go wrong.
(12:53):
A peck on the cheek is sweet, but excessive PDA
can make others uncomfortable. Respect your date's boundaries and save
the romance for more intimate settings. Remember less is often
more in these situations. Number nine being gonna know it all.
(13:17):
This is basically when expertise becomes a roadblock. We all
love a good conversation, we know that, but dominating every
topic with your knowledge can be exhausting, listen as much
as you talk, and be open to learning from your date.
A two way exchange is far more engaging than amount
(13:39):
of law. And lastly, number ten, rushing the future. This
is basically when tomorrow is more important than today. While
it's natural to seek future compatibility, bombarding your date with
questions about marriage, kids, or future plans on the first
(14:01):
meetup can possibly put unnecessary pressure in place. Enjoyed the
present moment and just let things unfold naturally.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Dating is a two way street, and being mindful of
your actions can make all the difference in creating a
memorable experience.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
For both parties.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So next time you find yourself on a date, still
clear of these pitfalls and focus on building a genuine connection.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So one thing I thought was interesting before I let
you guys go, I wanted to actually share.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Some examples of some like bad date stories, right, So
I just came across the few I'm gonna share. I'm
gonna share three of them, and this one it's called
like father, like son. This person says this about their date.
(15:03):
I once went on a date with a guy I
matched with on an app. When he turned up, he
looked considerably older than he did his photo, and when
I pulled him up on it, he gave a vague,
evasive answer.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Finally, he admitted.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
That he actually used a photo of his son and
hoped the resemblance will pass.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That's that's crazy to me. Now.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
This one is called grave danger. Yeah, I'm gonna repeat that.
It's called grave danger. This is what this person said
about their date. I had been chatting with the girl
online for a few weeks, and when it came to
a raging a date, she suggested that we meet at
(15:54):
the graveyard. First of all, that's the fun. I'm sorry,
almost cussed. I hate I have a whole me and graveyards.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
That be okay, let me just continue. She wanted me
at the graveyard. It was so out the blue I.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Thought she was joking, but turns out she was really
into the afterlife. I was curious since we been talking
for a quite a long time, so I went this
person stupid as hell. She had laid up a pit
in it blanket on someone's grave and wanted us to
(16:31):
eat on it. I was too hungry to leave, so
I stayed and try to ignore.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
The morbidity of this situation. There was no second date.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Baby, the would never have been the first day, cause
sooner you said it got during graveyard, Like you're crazy,
and if you're serious, this is the last time we're
having a conversation. Let's see, I said, I wanna give
y'all three of 'em.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Let me see what I wanted.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So this one is called hit and run. This is
what this person said about their date. I went on
the first date with a guy, and as we crossed
the road to head into the restaurant, a car reversed
into him. He insisted it barely got him and he
was fine. Halfway through the meal, I realized his leg
(17:20):
was bleeding and he was trying to style it out.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
We had to call an.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Ambulance in the inn, and I was still paying the
dinner bill. Okay, I'm just gonna get y'all one more,
just one more. This one is called expectation versus reality.
This is what this person said about their date. A
guy who had a crush on in high school asked
(17:47):
me out where we met at a mutual friend's birthday party.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I was over the moon, and we.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Arranged to meet up quite quickly, as he wasn't really
into texting. We went for dinner, and I realized I
was doing most of the talking. When I asked him
about himself, he gained one word answers and wasn't very conversational.
After several awkward silences, I was gearing up to let
(18:17):
him down gently, and he straight up said, I'm a
lovely girl, but things won't work out between us. So
y'all know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give you
a quote before I let you go. So this is
what this quote says. Dear past, I survived you. Dear present,
(18:39):
I'm ready for you. Dear future, I'm coming for you.
Well, look at here.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
You are listening to someone who is bold, authentic, diverse, unpredictable. Baby,
I am unapologetically ramon and you have entered my zone,
the QB Zone.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Baby. Hello, somebody.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
Rock now? Of course we're down to the QB Zone
for one more episode, of course, and I thank you
guys for joining me. I have a question. Have you
ever been on a bad date? And when you think
back to that particular date, if your answers yes, what
(01:11):
made the day bad? What did the other person do
that just messed it up for you? Or let me
ask another question, has a day ever went bad because
you ruined it? Because you dropped the ball. I'm gonna
have a little fun with joab to day because I
wanna talk about dates a and just how people can
(01:36):
ruin a date. And actually I have ten unconventional ways
or really unintentional ways that a s date can be sabotaged.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
We can have all the right.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Pieces in place to have a perfect date, whether it's
the chemistry or the location or whatever you know, but
unintitionally we go on these dates, and I have ten
things that we can do to just mess it up.
And I'm curious as you listen to these ten things.
(02:14):
How many you've experienced or how many you've committed yourself.
You know, the delicate dance of dating. I feel like
dance is definitely a dan. I feel like dating is
definitely a dance or a gang. Sometimes can be both,
and it could be a nerve wrecking game where one
wrong move can send everything spiraling into disasters. Sometimes without
(02:39):
even realizing it, we commit social full pause that can
quickly turn a promising evening into a cringe worthy memory.
What I'm gonna talk about or what I'm gonna share,
as I stated once again, is ten unintentional ways you
might unknowingly ruin or someone you know a date.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
So sit back and let's just.
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Go ahead and dive into the first one. This one
is called the phone addiction. Basically is when your phone
stills a spotlight. Nothing screams disinterests more than being glued
to your phone throughout dinner. Your date is right in
front of you, eager to connect, but your attention keeps
(03:28):
drifting back to that tiny screen. Remember, real conversations beat
virtues any day. Now, let's be clear though, there, Let's
just just i'manna add something in here. I think at
times though you being glued to your phone is probably
the only reason that's keeping you there because the other
(03:48):
person's probably of boring as hell, and the conversation just
ain't doing it for you.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
It's not giving what you thought I was gonna give.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
So it's like either you put this this phone or
the day gonna be over one point five seconds now.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
The second thing that.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
We can do unattention to ruin a date is tmi overload.
This is basically when you overshare a lot. Yes, honesty
is essential in any relationship, but there's the difference between
being open and flooding your date with personal details that
(04:26):
you probably should save for later. Some stuff just ain't
first date conversation. You know, keep it light, keep it fun,
save the heavier stuff for when the time is right now.
Number three is fashion faux pap. This is basically where
(04:47):
you're dressing for a date and the way that you
dress is a disaster or you might not have You
know you overdressed? Are you underdressed?
Speaker 3 (04:59):
You feel me?
Speaker 2 (05:00):
So putting effort into your outfit shows you care that
it's clear right. You want somebody to look good, dress good,
carry themselves a certain way. It makes you feel like
all they really want to put their best foot forward.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
In meeting you. You know what I'm saying, But being overboard
can lead to a fashion disaster.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Mismatch socks, overly flashy accessories, or inappropriate tire can be
very distracting and give off the wrong impression.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
And depending on where your.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Data is, the venue where y'all gonna be going, what
you're gonna be doing, you should keep it stylish but comfortable.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
Number four food fiascos.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
Black leather thing come with that piece of paper in between, baby,
the whole vibe just change. How you ever experienced that?
Just the whole atmosphere kind of turned tense. Figuring out
the appropriate way to handle the check can be tricky.
Be clear on your ex expectations, but also willing to compromise.
Remember it's not about the money but the gesture. Now
(10:08):
I think also, yeah, nah, I'm just gonna go back

Speaker 3 (10:18):
I do have some male friends who I like the

you better not there.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Putting no car or touch your wallet like you're finna

Speaker 2 (10:37):
So you know, once again, just make sure everybody's on
the same page as far as expectations, because last thing
you want is thinking, oh, we're finna go and split
a bill, and then she looking like you, she looking
at you or the other person like you like, okay, player,
you're ready to pay. What we're gonna be doing next?
You know number six, number six, it's number six. Bad
(11:02):
jokes galore. Sometimes your humor just missed the mark. Okay,
laughter is essential for something some some people, it's a
huge turn on.
Speaker 3 (11:16):
Like it. I could tell you right now for me,
if you made me laugh, my god.
Speaker 2 (11:21):
You you damned that got behooked like I just I
love humor.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I love to laugh.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
It's oh my god, I loved it ever since I
was a child.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
If you, yeah, if you can make me.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Laugh, we you really got a lot of you starting
out on the great foot.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Got a lot of extra points here. You know. Laughter
is essential.
Speaker 2 (11:44):
But what happens when your jokes fall flat, you overuse sarcasm,
inappropriate humor or inside jokes that leave your date feeling
left out. Can be a recipe for disaster. Light in
the mood, but be sure to gauge the sense of
humor first. That's why I feel like before we go
(12:05):
on it, Before you go on a date, you should
at least have a conversation, just kind of get a
feeling for the kind of person they are, so you
not just walking in, really walking in blinded. Number seven
x talk This is what I like to say a
call when the past haunts the present, bringing up excess
(12:30):
can be a major turnoff. No one wants to feel
like they're competing with a ghost from your past. Focus
on the present moment in getting to know your date
instead of rehashing old relationships. Number eight PDA overload. This
is basically when public dispace of affection just go wrong.
(12:53):
A peck on the cheek is sweet, but excessive PDA
can make others uncomfortable. Respect your date's boundaries and save
the romance for more intimate settings. Remember less is often
more in these situations. Number nine being gonna know it all.
(13:17):
This is basically when expertise becomes a roadblock. We all
love a good conversation, we know that, but dominating every
topic with your knowledge can be exhausting, listen as much
as you talk, and be open to learning from your date.
A two way exchange is far more engaging than amount
(13:39):
of law. And lastly, number ten, rushing the future. This
is basically when tomorrow is more important than today. While
it's natural to seek future compatibility, bombarding your date with
questions about marriage, kids, or future plans on the first
(14:01):
meetup can possibly put unnecessary pressure in place. Enjoyed the
present moment and just let things unfold naturally.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Listen.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Dating is a two way street, and being mindful of
your actions can make all the difference in creating a
memorable experience.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
For both parties.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
So next time you find yourself on a date, still
clear of these pitfalls and focus on building a genuine connection.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
So one thing I thought was interesting before I let
you guys go, I wanted to actually share.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Some examples of some like bad date stories, right, So
I just came across the few I'm gonna share. I'm
gonna share three of them, and this one it's called
like father, like son. This person says this about their date.
(15:03):
I once went on a date with a guy I
matched with on an app. When he turned up, he
looked considerably older than he did his photo, and when
I pulled him up on it, he gave a vague,
evasive answer.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
Finally, he admitted.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
That he actually used a photo of his son and
hoped the resemblance will pass.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
That's that's crazy to me. Now.
Speaker 2 (15:34):
This one is called grave danger. Yeah, I'm gonna repeat that.
It's called grave danger. This is what this person said
about their date. I had been chatting with the girl
online for a few weeks, and when it came to
a raging a date, she suggested that we meet at
(15:54):
the graveyard. First of all, that's the fun. I'm sorry,
almost cussed. I hate I have a whole me and graveyards.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
That be okay, let me just continue. She wanted me
at the graveyard. It was so out the blue I.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
Thought she was joking, but turns out she was really
into the afterlife. I was curious since we been talking
for a quite a long time, so I went this
person stupid as hell. She had laid up a pit
in it blanket on someone's grave and wanted us to
(16:31):
eat on it. I was too hungry to leave, so
I stayed and try to ignore.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
The morbidity of this situation. There was no second date.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
Baby, the would never have been the first day, cause
sooner you said it got during graveyard, Like you're crazy,
and if you're serious, this is the last time we're
having a conversation. Let's see, I said, I wanna give
y'all three of 'em.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Let me see what I wanted.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
So this one is called hit and run. This is
what this person said about their date. I went on
the first date with a guy, and as we crossed
the road to head into the restaurant, a car reversed
into him. He insisted it barely got him and he
was fine. Halfway through the meal, I realized his leg
(17:20):
was bleeding and he was trying to style it out.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
We had to call an.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
Ambulance in the inn, and I was still paying the
dinner bill. Okay, I'm just gonna get y'all one more,
just one more. This one is called expectation versus reality.
This is what this person said about their date. A
guy who had a crush on in high school asked
(17:47):
me out where we met at a mutual friend's birthday party.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I was over the moon, and we.
Speaker 2 (17:53):
Arranged to meet up quite quickly, as he wasn't really
into texting. We went for dinner, and I realized I
was doing most of the talking. When I asked him
about himself, he gained one word answers and wasn't very conversational.
After several awkward silences, I was gearing up to let
(18:17):
him down gently, and he straight up said, I'm a
lovely girl, but things won't work out between us. So
y'all know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna give you
a quote before I let you go. So this is
what this quote says. Dear past, I survived you. Dear present,
(18:39):
I'm ready for you. Dear future, I'm coming 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.
