Trepanation

Episode notes

Dr. Sydnee McElroy and her husband Justin (that’s us!) are thrilled to welcome you to Sawbones: A Marital Tour of Misguided Medicine. Every Friday, we’ll be digging through the annals of medical history to uncover all the odd, weird, wrong, dumb and just gross ways we’ve tried to fix people over the years. Educational? You bet! Fun? We hope!

This week, we’re starting off with a hole right in your noggin: Trepanation. Won’t you join us? We hope you will.

You can subscribe to their show right now on iTunes! Then tweet with the #Sawbones hashtag and tell all your friends (and loved ones). You can also follow the show on Twitter (@SawbonesShow).
