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, some medicines, some medicines that escalate my cop for the mouth.

Hello everybody and welcome to Sawbones. My name is Justin McAloy. I'm Sydney McAloy.

Sydney is a licensed medical doctor and every week we take you on a tour through the annals of medical history to look at all the dumb, weird, hurtful ways that we've tried to help people over the years.

But although I am a medical doctor as Justin pointed out, I am not using that degree in any way during the recording of this podcast.

But my dad or I told him that.

That's true. You just felt the need to point it out. I thought I would.

Yeah.

But I'm just proud. I'm just proud of you. I like telling you, buddy, who'll listen.

That's sweet of you. Thank you.

Do me a favor, Justin.

Tell me, Sydney, anything for you.

Close your eyes.

Okay.

Are they closed?

They're closed.

Okay.

I'd like to whisk you away if I could.
