  Cures Worse Than the Disease

  Sep 30, 202521 minS0

  <p>Send us a text</p><p>Step back into the bizarre world of historical medicine where the cures were often worse than the disease. In this episode, we explore some of the strangest and most dangerous medical practices in history: milk transfusions, Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syrup (yes, the one loaded with morphine), cocaine for hay fever, a whale hotel for rheumatism, and even John Wesley’s book of natural cures that claimed to treat almost everything. And of course, no tour of old-time medicine would be complete without a little bloodletting.</p><p>These so-called “treatments” raise questions about ho...

  Ethics Shmethics

  Sep 23, 202521 minS0

  <p>Send us a text</p><p>In this episode, we dive into the messy world of bioethics through two infamous cases: Henrietta Lacks and her immortal HeLa cells and the Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment. We unpack how a woman’s cells were taken without consent and changed medicine forever, while an unethical government study left hundreds of Black men untreated in the name of “research.” These stories raise tough questions about informed consent, racism in medicine, and the dark history of medical research in the United States.</p><p>Resources:</p><p> https://www.britannica.com/science/HeLa-cellulture | Britannica</p><p>https...

  Take Three Hundred and Call Me in the Morning

  Sep 16, 202536 minS0

  <p>Send us a text</p><p> What happens when a doctor’s prescription pad becomes more powerful than a drug cartel? In this episode, we dive into the controversial story of Dr. William Hurwitz, the physician once dubbed a pioneer of pain management — and later accused of running what many called a pill mill. From handing out OxyContin, Percocet, and other narcotics like candy, to the legal firestorm that made him both a hero to chronic pain patients and a villain in the opioid crisis, we break down the blurred line between treatment and addiction. Was Dr. Hurwitz a reckl...

  Mythdiagnosis

  Sep 9, 202523 minS0

  <p>Send us a text</p><p>Think raw milk is healthier? Heard sugar makes kids bounce off the walls? Still worried your deodorant or cell phone is giving you breast cancer? In this episode, we’re busting the most common medical myths that just won’t die. From the truth about detox supplements, cracking your knuckles and arthritis, to whether swallowing gum really sticks around in your stomach, we separate fact from fiction with science you can trust. We’ll also tackle if you can really die from a broken heart, and why cold weather doesn’t actually make you sick...

  Twist of Fate (and Spine)

  Sep 2, 202535 minS0

  <p>Send us a text</p><p>In this episode, we crack open the spine-tingling world of chiropractic care — and not just the vertebrae. We dive into the infamous Wilks lawsuit that put chiropractic practice under a legal spotlight, and how it shaped the profession’s fight for legitimacy. Then, we follow two real-world case studies where adjustments didn’t go quite as planned (spoiler: complications aren’t always “just a little sore tomorrow”). Finally, we dig into why chiropractic care still struggles with public trust, decades after “straightening out” its image.</p><p>Is chiropractic the misunderstood underdog of healthcare… or j...
