Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine - A podcast by Justin McElroy, Dr. Sydnee McElroy - Tuesdays

Categories:

For MaxFunDrive 2021, Sawbones is talking about gross medicine of a different sort. In the United States (and New Zealand) we see a lot of those commercials for prescription medicines with jaunty names and a full minute disclaimer at the end. How they came to be the norm here is a complicated history of bad medicine and the shifting of credence among doctors, patients, and pharmaceutical companies.
