0:00:14.916 --> 0:00:23.876
<v Speaker 1>Pushkin, Hey, Slight Changers, maya here. It's great to be back.

0:00:24.436 --> 0:00:26.996
<v Speaker 1>I'm thrilled to share that Apple chose A Slight Change

0:00:27.036 --> 0:00:28.956
<v Speaker 1>of Plans as the best show of the year for

0:00:28.996 --> 0:00:31.676
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty one, and we've got a fresh batch of

0:00:31.676 --> 0:00:36.196
<v Speaker 1>episodes coming your way on Monday, February twenty eighth. Each week,

0:00:36.236 --> 0:00:39.156
<v Speaker 1>you'll hear a new conversation with guests like Christine ha

0:00:39.716 --> 0:00:42.836
<v Speaker 1>who permanently lost her vision by age twenty four and

0:00:42.916 --> 0:00:45.196
<v Speaker 1>then went on to become a world renowned chef and

0:00:45.316 --> 0:00:48.836
<v Speaker 1>winner of the reality TV show Master Chef. I have

0:00:48.956 --> 0:00:53.116
<v Speaker 1>the choice of either feeling sorry for myself or figuring

0:00:53.156 --> 0:00:57.636
<v Speaker 1>out how can I pick myself up and plug myself

0:00:57.676 --> 0:01:01.716
<v Speaker 1>back into the society. And Scott, who we first heard

0:01:01.756 --> 0:01:05.276
<v Speaker 1>from in a Slight Change episode called The Life Changing Diagnosis.

0:01:05.916 --> 0:01:08.036
<v Speaker 1>At the time, Scott was in the middle of treatment

0:01:08.076 --> 0:01:11.396
<v Speaker 1>for stage four bone cancer at MD Anderson Cancer Center

0:01:11.476 --> 0:01:16.196
<v Speaker 1>in Texas. Today, he's successfully completed treatment and is adjusting

0:01:16.236 --> 0:01:20.276
<v Speaker 1>to life back at home. It was clear that a

0:01:20.356 --> 0:01:23.596
<v Speaker 1>full life is something you want, and so I'm very

0:01:23.596 --> 0:01:26.556
<v Speaker 1>willing to fight for that. And now that I'm in that,

0:01:26.756 --> 0:01:29.196
<v Speaker 1>the question is Okay, well, wait, what is a full life.

0:01:31.556 --> 0:01:34.596
<v Speaker 1>We'll hear from Richard Harris, the Australian doctor who was

0:01:34.636 --> 0:01:37.956
<v Speaker 1>asked to perform a risky medical procedure in an effort

0:01:37.996 --> 0:01:40.396
<v Speaker 1>to rescue the boy's soccer team that was trapped deep

0:01:40.396 --> 0:01:44.996
<v Speaker 1>in a cave in Thailand. I remember feeling very very anxious, thinking,

0:01:45.436 --> 0:01:48.316
<v Speaker 1>this is it. This is the moment of truth, when

0:01:48.356 --> 0:01:52.236
<v Speaker 1>this whole fanciful idea will actually become reality. And I'm

0:01:52.236 --> 0:01:54.876
<v Speaker 1>about to mate these children, and I'm going to have

0:01:54.876 --> 0:02:00.156
<v Speaker 1>to make a decision. And as always, we'll hear from

0:02:00.236 --> 0:02:04.836
<v Speaker 1>change experts like grief therapist Julia Samuel, author Michael Pollen,

0:02:05.196 --> 0:02:09.436
<v Speaker 1>and psychiatrist Dixon Chibanda, whose scientific insights will help us

0:02:09.476 --> 0:02:12.996
<v Speaker 1>think differently about change and live happier, more fulfilling lives.

0:02:15.516 --> 0:02:18.316
<v Speaker 1>I'm Maya Shunker, and this is a Slight Change of Plans,

0:02:18.676 --> 0:02:20.956
<v Speaker 1>a show about who we are and who we become

0:02:21.236 --> 0:02:26.356
<v Speaker 1>in the face of a big change. Subscribe to Pushkin
