Anxious At Bedtime

Surprise, surprise, we talk about poop and butts again. 
Step back into the unsettling world of historical medicine, where doctors prescribed tobacco smoke enemas for drowning victims, miracle weight loss pills packed a deadly punch, and teething babies endured the horrors of teeth lancing.

Were they just lucky, or was there something eerily intuitive about their methods? Join us as we explore the fine line between medical madness and accidental genius.
