这是一部引人注目的、时常令人捧腹的、偶尔令人毛骨悚然的现代医学的探索之旅!想知道吃木乃伊粉是否能治愈你的疾病?被那些建议你穿有放射性的内裤来增强男子气概的老式广告诱惑了吗?有没有想过在头上钻个洞来解决烦人的头痛?可能不会。但是几千年来，人们一直在做这样的事情——这些事情使放射性内裤看起来完全合理!在他们的热门播客中，Sawbones、sydney和Justin McElroy分析了我们获得现代医疗的奇怪而奇妙的方式。还有沿途一些可怕的弯路。每周，西德尼·麦克尔罗伊博士和她的丈夫贾斯汀(Justin)都会让他们的播客《锯骨》(Sawbones)的数十万狂热听众感到惊讶、愉悦和恶心(取决于每周的情况)。在iTunes上一直名列前茅的播客，总下载量超过1500万次，这段经历了数千年医疗事故和奇迹的欢乐旅程不仅有趣，而且具有十足的教育意义。 While you may never even consider applying boiled weasel to your forehead (once the height of sophistication when it came to headache cures), you will almost certainly face some questionable medical advice in your everyday life (we’re looking at you, raw water!) and be better able to figure out if this is a miracle cure (it’s not) or a scam.
