My special guest tonight is author Nathan Belofsky, here to shine a light on strange medicine and the unbelievable historical medical practices that once passed for cutting-edge care. From bloodletting and lobotomy to Victorian medicine’s bizarre cures with leeches, mercury, and electric shocks, we open the cabinet of medical oddities to uncover how ancient medicine, early science, and quack doctors shaped the dark history of medicine. We’ll explore forgotten treatments once used for strange diseases and ask how these medical history missteps still echo today.
