Medicine or Madness? The Most Puzzling Medical Treatments of All Time - Feel Good Friday

from Sickboy

Did you hear the latest relationship trend? Apparently, one in five couples are ditching the traditional shared bed and opting for separate bedrooms. According to a survey of 2,200 Americans, the reasons for this new trend include snoring, differing schedules, and general sleep disturbances caused by bed-sharing. I guess some people just can't handle the heat (or the snoring)! Sex therapists and marriage counsellors are raising their eyebrows at this trend, suggesting that it may signal deeper relationship issues or a lack of sexual desire. Could sleeping solo be a red flag that you're headed towards a sexless, loveless marriage?! In our cute content for the week a cat in Turkey was born with 4 ears and it's straight up #awww. Finally Jer hits us with a top 10 list of epic proportions. 10 wacky medical treatments that doctors actually used to believe in. You know how we look back at leech therapy and think, "What the heck were they thinking?" Well, someday we'll probably do the same with Botox injections, which is basically injecting lethal toxins into your face in the name of youthfulness. Barbaric? Maybe. Effective? Sure, if you're trying to paralyze your wrinkles to oblivion. But hey, let's not judge our ancestors too harshly. After all, they did the best they could with what they had. Even if that meant smoking a pack a day to cure their asthma (spoiler alert: it didn't work). Join the post-episode conversation over on Discord! https://discord.gg/expeUDN
