The Poor Historians: Medical History Misadventures

The Multiple Murder Attempts of "Durable" Mike Malloy: A Medical History Perspective


Listen Later

This episode is a blend of true crime and criminal ineptitude. We'll walk through the story of how a gaggle of NYC barflys in the early 20th century U.S. Prohibition Era conspired (very badly) to murder an Irish immigrant who would later be nicknamed "The Irish Rasputin" for his incredible survival of multiple attempts on his life. How did this all transpire, medically speaking? Let's find out.
