Episode 100 Well Kinda | Historical autopsy of Oscar Wilde

Our eagle-eyed This Medical Life podcast listeners will wonder why we have called this episode 100 … is that right? Well, it kinda is. If you add up both This Pathological Life and This Medical Life podcasts episodes, it’s well over 100 episodes. This is a small milestone for this ‘Trav and Steve’ dynamic duo who have never resolved the question: which one is Robin? In honour of this achievement, we reflect upon the life and death of an amazing poet and author Oscar Wilde. We dive back into the 1850s to 1900s when modern medicine was at its infancy and the ‘love that dare not speak its name’ was a crime. This is the story of Oscar Wilde Our appreciation goes out to our listeners who we hope will enjoy this flight of fancy episode and reflect on where we have come from, where we are, and where we are heading. Our special guest: We have no special guests this episode, other than some choice quotes from the man of the hour, Oscar Wilde.
