Get ready for another extra special episode from friend of the show Pam Loetterle! This time she is bringing us the tale of John St. John Long, a handsome Irishman who decided that actually studying medicine should not be a requirement for becoming a doctor. Instead he swapped a promising career illustrating medical books for one as a top medical professional in London. Though to be fair he did streamline his approach by offering only one cure regardless of what ailment he was faced with. So join us as we discuss his rise to fame, his patented panacea, and how the side effects eventually landed him in a spot of bother. Guest Presenter: Pam Loetterle<hr> Hosted on Acast.

John St. John Long - (or) sketching out a medical career

The British Isles have thousands of years of history, so it's weird that all most people were taught at school was World War Two, how many wives Henry VIII had and that the Battle of Hastings took place in 1066 (always worth a try if you are trying to guess someones pin number). If you've always wanted to learn about all the bits between these events, but only if it can be done in a random and eclectic manner why not try Consistently Eccentric History? A podcast where each week you can listen in while I tell one of my friends a story about a lesser known person or event in British history, the weirder and less believable the better. With an archive of over 150 episodes you will never again be short a weird historical fact when trying to impress others.<hr> Hosted on Acast.
