Sawbones: Vampire Facials: You may have seen some celebrities or influencers on social media getting something called a Vampire Facial. It's exactly what it sounds like: blood spread on the face like a cream mask. But why would anyone do this unless it's supposed to do something for the skin? Dr. Sydnee and Justin draw out where this trend came from and its questionable benefits.

Sawbones: CPR: Squishing someone’s heart and blowing air into them to bring them back to life seems so basic, so why weren’t we able to agree on it for the past few hundred years? This week on Sawbones, Dr. Sydnee gives an overview of the evolution of CPR which, despite what movies and TV would have you believe, isn’t quite an infinite cheat code for avoiding death.

Sawbones: Tongue Ties: A tongue tie is not just a turn of phrase, it's a medical condition in which the frenulum under your tongue is too thick and restricts your lingual movement.

Sawbones: Aquatofana: Normally Sawbones talks about medical cures, whether real or fake, but today Dr. Sydnee and Justin are diving into the opposite. There was a time when women in bad marriages and needed a way out could turn to Julia Tofana who offered a secret, untraceable poison and, maybe, a chance at freedom.

Sawbones: Gallstones: Do you even know where your gallbladder is? Maybe it's not so surprising that millions of Americans don't know they have a gastrointestinal disorder caused by gallstones.

Sawbones: Pepto Bismol: Many of us know all the catchy jingle that lists all the things that Pepto Bismol is supposed to be good for.

Sawbones: Dr. Willard Bliss: It was probably the destiny of Dr. Doctor Willard Bliss to become a medical professional, although his career was a real rollercoaster of beliefs and practices.

Sawbones: The Ejaculation Panic: In the 1800s, there was a growing concern about spermatorrhea, a condition that involves involuntary and excessive semen leakage or discharge. Some doctors (and people who claimed to be doctors) were quick to come up with some truly terrifying solutions . . . except that it was largely a panic and not really happening at all.

Sawbones: The Intimate Side of a Woman’s Life: What was some of the outdated (though subtly subversive) medical advice given to cisgendered women of the 1930s?

Sawbones: The Tea That Doesn’t Cure Cancer (and Might Make It Worse): Often cure-alls cure nothing (and do nothing), but other times they may actually hurt.

Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/ by Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine

Sawbones: Pineapple: There is a claim on the internet that when you eat pineapple, it eats you back. This is actually true! Or more accurately, pineapple contains an enzyme that breaks down tissue.

Sawbones: Why Do I Always Burp Next to My Wife?: It’s time for us to answer some more listener medical questions, if “us” means “Dr. Sydnee McElroy.” Questions like: can you cook dirt enough to make it clean?

Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/ by Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine
38 min listen
Sawbones: Blood Glucose Tolerance Test: If you’ve ever been pregnant or pregnant-adjacent, you may have heard of the blood glucose test to check for gestational diabetes. Many pregnant people find the process unpleasant and gross — which has prompted some pseudo-experts to speak out against it. Dr. Sydnee discusses the new discourse surrounding the test, how it works, and why, if your doctor recommends it, you should honestly just get it done.
