So building up a lacrosse program, and there was another

work with and wanted us to take over and train
their kids and whatnot.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
And I kind of explained to them, you know, it's
kind of like, wait till they get a load of me.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
We have a way of doing anything, way of doing
things that was much different thannybody else leich is. We
we didn't buy into the whole woke coaching method where
everybody tithes and it's all awesome and you just did
a great job.

Speaker 3 (02:53):

Speaker 2 (04:18):
We got to hand ourselves trophies and medals and then
you get up in politics, you get a post office

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.
