1.13 - Help I'm Drowning! Can You Blow Smoke up My A**?

Are the good old days truly the good old days? Join our adventurous, but accident prone hosts as they explore historical treatments for many common diseases and maladies. Journey along as they learn all about how the medical professionals of yore treated everything from STIs to wounds, stomachaches, and more! They'll also learn the questionable origins of the phrase "blow smoke up your ass," questionable uses of chloroform, and the "medical" uses for tobacco. While there are surely quacks around today, with their dubious and fraudulent cures, let's all be thankful for today's medical knowledge and vastly improved treatments.   Doctor Kinsey will see you now... are you sure you want to be seen?   Tune in to find out more.     The Good Old Days is produced by What A Concept Productions.
