Sawbones is a show about medical history, and nothing the hosts say should be taken as medical advice or opinion.

It's for fun. Can't you just have fun for an hour and not try to diagnose your mystery boil?

We think you've earned it. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy a moment of distraction from that weird growth.

You're worth it.

Alright, time is about to books. One, two, one, two, three, four.

We came across a pharmacy with a toy and that's lost it out. We were shot through the broken glass and had ourselves a look around.

Hello everybody and welcome to Sawbones, a marital tour of misguided medicine. I'm your co-host Justin McAroy.

And I'm Sydney McAroy. Well said, some exciting news on the COVID front, not the present situation, which is a dire.

Yes. I hope everybody is staying safe out there as much as you can. Stay home. If you can't wear your mask when you go out social distance.

Also remember that depending on the state you live in, your government may not be looking out for you. So don't necessarily take their guidelines to be the safest practices.

You need to be responsible for yourself and your family. Stay in home and stay safe.

Back when all this started in March, I feel like a lot of people were being really cautious and taking it very seriously.

And I understand that fatigue has set in. But I would say that for a lot of us who are in states that weren't initially impacted strongly, we now need to take it that seriously and be just as cautious as everyone was back in March.

Yes. If not more so.

I'm going to talk about that in a little bit of a clip episode about that. No, man. No, it just the announcement from Pfizer, which I'll talk a bit about at the end of the show about their vaccine progress, which is good.

Good news overall. That's the TLD are there it is. Look at you.

The announcement was good news. Okay. Wait, the webby awards are here. That best internet acronym goes to Cindy McAroy. God, see congratulations.

Met note, sorry, I'm reading here most improved, but still huge achievement. Thank you. Thank you. But that's not what the whole show is about. We do. We do want to talk about medical history and something. Justin, you asked me about kind of tied in to vaccines and the COVID vaccine and the fact that it is flu vaccine season.

And everybody should be getting their flu shot. I I realize that I am I am our most prolific summons episode suggests or that's because I have so many gaps in my understanding of the world around me that I am free,

I am free, we'll be counting on it just here, maybe after all. But you are probably as free, we'll be playing by like wait, Sid, Sid, how do we know that we could squirt medicine into people? How do we do that? I never figured out. Well, it's really interesting. You asked me about the history of hypodermic needles. And I it was something I never really thought about investigating, I don't know why that I am so curious about diseases and treatments but like.

It's not a wild question to ask, how did we come up with the idea of a needle? What brain can see it to it? Because I think they're so terrifying to so many people, right? Like it's a it's a it's a it's a fear.

I've prompted my thought of it as our daughter has a real our oldest daughter, Charlie has a real genuine phobia when it comes to needles. And I guess in my bad parenting brain, I was thinking that if like if I knew the history of how bad it used to be, then maybe that would impress upon her the value of the current system.
