The Story

When the job is gone and the money is dwindling, people will find a way. Don Ames is homeless man living by the railroad tracks in Greensboro, North Carolina. 

Cici McNair spent her early days as a private investigator hiding in bushes, and trailing people in order to appease jealous husbands or wives. As she grew more experienced, she uncovered counterfeit designer clothing and purses and traveled the world searching for missing people. Today, she lives and works in Paris investigating financial fraud.

On a good surfers’ beach, usually everyone is in the water. But at 38th Parallel Beach –  near the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea – surfers sometimes see parades with tanks, soldiers and guns.

In the 90a, Dr. William Boden was concerned there wasn't enough data to show how effective stents actually were in the long term. So he conducted a trial, called Courage, that looked at patients with stable but chronic angina. The results were highly contentious, especially for interventional cardiologists like Rajiv Jauhar. Dr. Boden and Dr. Jauhar talk to Dick Gordon about treating chest pain with and without stents, and the challenges of practicing medicine in the enormously complicated U.S. health care system. Also in this episode, a check-in with Roody Joseph.
