At some point we’ve all heard about some weird medical practices of the past, right? We’ve heard horror stories about lobotomies, blood letting, and how “humors” were thought to impact mental health. If that’s what you’re here for, sorry, that’s NOT what we are going to be talking about. Don’t get us wrong, we thought this was all fascinating but we wanted to know more about some of the lesser known practices and what impact they’ve had on modern medicine. We wanted to go where no podcast has gone before, probably...we’re honestly not sure. Our research took us down an unsuspected and rather shitty path, literally.
