Dr. Sanjiv Gandhi, Second Deputy Leader to the BC Green Party, joins the show today. In our wide-ranging conversation, he reflects on a career dedicated to pediatric heart surgery, challenges in the current healthcare system, and his jump into the unfamiliar waters of provincial politics.

Rachel Thexton Connects
What does it cost to dedicate your life to saving children's hearts? Pediatric heart surgeon Dr. Sanjiv Gandhi joins Rachel Thexton to discuss his memoir, Brave Cuts, the joys and realities of life-saving surgery, and why he ultimately stepped away from the operating room.
A clinical professor of surgery at the University of British Columbia and former head of pediatric cardiothoracic surgery at BC Children's Hospital, Dr. Gandhi shares the experiences behind a career devoted to infants, children, and their families.
Together, Rachel and Dr. Gandhi explore operating on tiny hearts, congenital heart defects, infant heart transplantation, and his perspective on both Canadian and American healthcare. They also discuss personal loss, physician mental health, the difficulty of finding balance, and what writing Brave Cuts helped him understand about his own life.
In a moving closing moment, he reads from a letter written by a patient's mother and addressed to his children, recognizing the time they lost with him so their father could save someone else's child.
