Title: The Sawbones Book Pdf The Horrifying, Hilarious Road to Modern Medicine

A compelling, often hilarious, and occasionally horrifying exploration of how modern medicine came to be!

Wondering whether eating powdered mummies might be just the thing to cure your ills? Tempted by those vintage ads suggesting you wear radioactive underpants for virility? Ever considered drilling a hole in your head to deal with those pesky headaches? Probably not. But for thousands of years, people have done things like this - and things that make radioactive underpants seem downright sensible! In their hit podcast, Sawbones, Sydnee and Justin McElroy breakdown the weird and wonderful way we got to modern healthcare. And some of the terrifying detours along the way.

Every week, Dr. Sydnee McElroy and her husband Justin amaze, amuse, and gross out (depending on the week) hundreds of thousands of avid listeners to their podcast, Sawbones. Consistently rated a top podcast on iTunes, with over 15 million total downloads, this rollicking journey through thousands of years of medical mishaps and miracles is not only hilarious but downright educational. While you may never even consider applying boiled weasel to your forehead (once the height of sophistication when it came to headache cures), you will almost certainly face some questionable medical advice in your everyday life (we're looking at you, raw water!) and be better able to figure out if this is a miracle cure (it's not) or a scam.

No missing pages, just misnumbered Here is an update I saw from the publisher on pages 206-211“While printing The Sawbones Book, we noticed that several pages had been included erroneously within the book.Rather than reprint the book and greatly delay the release date, Weldon Owen removed these erroneous pages (which accounts for a jump in page numbers just before the book's end, no content is missing). Unfortunately, correcting this error has delayed some shipments of the book to retailers.We are doing everything in our power to fulfill the orders. We're grateful for your patience during this time.”Great content, sad presentation. Oofa doofa, for fans only. This thing clearly didnt get any attention from its publisher, and if I gave it to someone unfamiliar with the show they'd be appalled. It reads like a self-published book, full of typos and layout issues. Sourcing is non-existant. The illustrations/photos are largely uncredited historical illustrations from wikipedia and google image search, with Teylor providing a smattering of original work throughout. Just have your friends listen to the podcast instead, this is a pretty shabby representation of the charm, humor and intelligence the creators typically demonstrate in their show. This is a missed opportunity, they and their potential audience deserved better.A perfect complement to the podcast! Yes! I preordered this book the moment Justin and Sydnee announced it on Sawbones. I’ve been listening to the podcast for years, and knew I would love the book, although I worried it might be a little repetitive for people who had listened to every episode. This book covers a lot of the standard Sawbones material featured in the podcast (trepanation, cholera, humors, Pliny the Elder) and builds off of these topics, providing additional history and fun trivia. Additionally, both Justin and Sydnee’s voices shine through their words, and their chemistry is Wonderful! (oh, wrong McElroys...) even in the written word, and Teylor’s illistrations are amazing—from the cutesy cartoons of our hosts/authors to the old fashioned sketches and diagrams, they complement the book perfectly. This book is a lot of fun and I am so proud of Justin, Sydnee, and Teylor’s work.
