28: Medical Mishaps (Grip It and Rip It!)

A big round of applause for La who is joining us this week in Lacey’s absence. Y’all know when La is on the pod, things get gross. This week we celebrate all the weird and wonderful nightmare fuel in medical history. Some old school gross shit. From power tools to invasive parasites to pool noodles, we’ve got some seriously squeamish stories just for you. Remember, whenever in doubt: don’t put household objects, animals, or power tools inside yourself. Don’t be pre-nut stupid. Be post-nut smart. Send all of your love to Lacey who will be back with us soon. The Wyrd Sisters Podcast is produced on Wurundjeri land. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land, the peoples of the Kulin Nation and pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.
