We're throwing it back to episode 88: Civil War Amputations and Olympic Host Cities, originally aired December 16 2019!
Take a swig of gin and bite down on something hard, because today we're talking about Civil War Amputations and Olympic Host Cities! We delve into the history of the grisliest medical practices of the American Civil War, and why things had to get so... choppy. Also, the next time you're watching someone luge down a mountain for the glory of national pride, you can listen to this episode and know how much that undermines the local economies of the city that's hosting! Pledge allegiance to your flag and stay horrified.
