We go inside a rehab hospital in Lviv that is teaching Ukrainians to be unbroken in the face of war. Matt Galloway speaks with Dr. Hnat Herych, the chief of the surgery department at the Multidisciplinary Clinical Hospital of Emergency and Intensive Care. Then, when the convoy protests rolled into downtown Ottawa a year ago, the city’s then-police chief Peter Sloly took much of the blame for not moving it out. The Emergencies Act was invoked, and Sloly subsequently resigned from his post. We hear from Sloly about the mistakes made and whether Canada is any better prepared for the next threat. And CBC news anchor Harry Forestell was 53 years old when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. It has no known cures, but there are some life-changing treatments — and Forestell went through one of those last fall. He talks with us about his diagnosis and the remarkable impact of deep brain stimulation. Also, in her latest Oscar-nominated documentary All The Beauty And The Bloodshed, filmmaker Laura Poitras tells the story of the renowned photographer Nan Goldin — and her takedown of the Sackler family.
