Dogs That Can!

The Dogs That Can podcast is about what you can do to help your dog get moving again after injury or illness. Sarah Mackeigan, your host and canine rehab therapist is passionate about empowering pet parents (aka owners) to be engaged members of their dog’s mobility team. Many dog parents are unaware of the options available to them beyond medication, rest, and/or surgery when their dog is injured. The aim of this podcast is to provide up to date, credible, and understandable information from rehab and wellness experts from around the globe, helping us all learn while instilling hope of what is possible.

    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.
