"Medical F*ckery"

Human F*ckery

Terrible things happen when we put professions on pedestals. Over the last two centuries, “Medicine” has improved so significantly the human lifespan increased dramatically. Unfortunately, medical science and medical ETHICS are two different things—and they aren’t always practiced together, even today. This episode dives into two of the most horrific cases of human experimentation and iatrogenic injury perpetrated in the 20th century. Team Kimberly fondles the questionable choices Dr. Leo Stanley made with prisoners’ testicles during the San Quentin Prison Experiments, which spanned decades here in the United States. Team Edward teleports us back to WWII, directly into the secret Japanese facility known as Unit 731, a research laboratory which rivaled (if not exceeded) the egregious work of Nazi scientists in Germany. Special guests include public health experts and ethical superheroes Dr. Lucas Trautman, a psychiatrist and addiction specialist who randomly was mentored by Dr. Death Christopher Duntsch; and Dr. Elizabeth Nicholson, a heavily tattooed doctor of emergency medicine and bold COVID frontline survivor.
