About this episode

Brett and Brad sit down for an interview with Dr. Matt Thompson, a 3rd year resident in integrated thoracic surgery at the Cleveland Clinic (don't worry, he explains what that is). We explore his experience in becoming a doctor, the history and important innovations in heart surgery, we explain Aortic Dissection that came into the news with the death of Lindsey Graham last month, and touch on what the future of heart surgeries might look like.
