Time for our bi-monthly bidet discussion. Taylor is sold. We start this week with some completely irrelevant cuteness from one sweet little powdersaurus to get the feels going. Cancer vaccine! Sounds like something out of a utopian science fiction film, but think again! We discuss the story of one man who thought he had a hernia but found out that in fact, he had a hidden uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes, and an ovary! Then onto some "beautiful anatomy" — a f*cking gigantic blood clot in the shape of a bronchial tree. We spend FAR too long exploring the world of online medical equipment shopping. Turns out you can buy a circumcision tool for $18.99 on Alibaba if you buy 1000 or more. Snip snip. Finally, this week's edition of What The Health?! Lady Bugs. They are cute until they are found living inside your colon. *Join the post-episode conversation over on Discord! https://discord.gg/expeUDN

Routine Checkup: The Tenth Nerve – A Brain Surgeon's Stories of the Patients Who Changed Him

1 Recommendations

Dr. Chris Honey, an accomplished neurosurgeon at Vancouver General Hospital, weaves his personal journey together with case studies that reflect the thrill of scientific discovery and the limitations of medicine. Operating on a terminally ill child amid an Ebola outbreak in Liberia, he questions his preconceptions about what it means to "win" against a disease and how an unusual friendship with a former patient alters his perspective on clinical detachment, and what "quality of life" really means. The Tenth Nerve is available as an e-book, audio book, and hardcover https://www.penguinrandomhouse.ca/books/688025/the-tenth-nerve-by-dr-chris-honey/9781039001190

Precipitous Labour or How Not to Have Your Baby on the Toilet

Jenn (they/them) has given birth to two beautiful little kiddos. But their pregnancy was not your "typical" ordeal. Usually, labour ranges from 6 to 18 hours from the very early stage until birth. Precipitous labour (also known as rapid labour) is anything quicker than that. And for Jenn we're talkin Fast and Furious 10 quick. The first birth was around 2 hours. The second, was much MUCH quicker than that. Most folks hope for a quick and easy labor, but precipitous labour may be too fast and can lead to health concerns for both parent and baby. Especially when that baby falls out while you're just sitting on the toilet.
