Medical Breakthroughs

Just as we seem to be congenital peacemakers, so too are Canadians a nation of healers. In this episode we look at the remarkable Canadian stories behind the invention that keeps arrhythmic hearts ticking, the rebirth of a forgotten language that allows the mute to speak and the discovery of the basic building block of complex life forms - which promises to give medicine truly staggering powers.
