We don’t really plan things ahead that carefully, but this one involved two sharp political commentaries, sandwiched between two peeks into the shock trauma ward. First, Amy Lakis talked about her son’s close call after a car crash.

Finally, Ramsey Flynn narrated his own near death (or, technically, death), as experienced while under the knife at Johns Hopkins during open heart surgery.
