On This Week's Feedback Friday:
- You unknowingly engaged in online erotic roleplay with a minor years ago. Now they're sharing the story publicly, and everyone's calling you a groomer even though you stopped when you learned their age. How do you clear your name without making things worse?[Thanks once again to attorney Corbin Payne for helping us answer this!]
- Your friend's kids have turned into tiny tyrants after her divorce — rude, demanding, and completely out of control. As their godmother, you're dreading every visit. How do you tell a guilt-ridden parent their mothering methods are manufacturing monsters?
- Your depressed brother is spiraling into dangerous online relationships while refusing therapy. He's self-harming, talking to sketchy people with "codenames," and police have already been involved. How far do you go to save someone who doesn't want saving? [Thanks to clinical psychologist Dr. Erin Margolis for helping us with this one!]
- At 37, you've had over 30 jobs but never found your calling. After rebuilding from childhood trauma and a failed long-term relationship, you're paralyzed by the pressure to finally get it right. How do you choose a career path without making another "wrong" decision?

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.
