Summary

Just in time for The Prom season, Justin and Dr. Sydnee bring your weird summer medical questions! Do other citrus fruits affect medication, or is it really just grapefruits? Why do hiccups happen so sporadically? Do carrots actually give you good vision? Can a broken finger fully heal by itself? Plus, an update on vaccines in the United States. Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/ Transgender Law Center: https://transgenderlawcenter.org/
