The Myoclonic Jerks

In this absolutely not meta episode, the Myoclonic Jerks sell out and dip into the popular genre of true crime podcasting and talk dodgy doctors and fraudulent pharmacists. Sit back, relax and notify your indemnity insurance provider.

PS. Will drops out halfway.

This is the second half of our slow release form of our talk on opioids (please don't halve slow release opioid tablets). We cover how to knock out an elephant, the relative strengths of morphine and heroin and how Michael Jackson may have REALLY died :O.

Karl Marx once said "Religion is the opium of the people". Turns out oxycodone actually is. This episode we talk opioids and their (over)use in modern medicine thanks in part to the Sackler family. Toony makes an indie rock joke, MJ makes a 90s pop starlet joke, Will stays at home. This episode is so long we're giving it to you in slow release form. (Part 1)

This episode we tackle erectile dysfunction. From its physiology to its history of a-MUSE-ing treatments - the whole hog! So pipe down and prick up your ears, it's a bit of a (sch)longer one than usual (heh).

Through the magic of Skype (the Microsoft teleconferencing platform named after the Greek goddess of telecommunication) we discuss the current COVID-19 situation and dip into the history of vaccination and germ theory. (Part 2)

The 2nd half of a discussion we had on insulin which as usual sprouted tangential conversations on heart transplants, pancreatitis (again) and SIRI.

During this unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, we hope you're all taking care of yourselves and each other, but not too closely.

No, we haven't formed a black metal band - this is the first half of a talk we had on insulin. New Dr Will swings his etymological penis around teaching us about the lingual origins of diabetes before new consultant Dr Toony schools us on actual medical information. Old regular MJ swings his entomological penis around under the table during the recording (not audible).

We've returned from the void with the long anticipated 2nd half of a discussion we had on antidepressants. Stay tuned because in 2020 it will not be 5 months between episodes. Please like, share, rate, subscribe, prescribe (but don't use this podcast to inform your practice).

We're joined by Dr Toony (aka this podcast's Heather Locklear) to talk about the history of antidepressants and psychotropics. That was the plan anyway. What ensued was a wild ride that took us from penis pellets to abandoned coffee shops to incorrect TB treatments.
