Sawbones: CPR
Squishing someone’s heart and blowing air into them to bring them back to life seems so basic, so why weren’t we able to agree on it for the past few hundred years? This week on Sawbones, Dr. Sydnee gives an overview of the evolution of CPR which, despite what movies and TV would have you believe, isn’t quite an infinite cheat code for avoiding death.

What if someone was declared dead . . . only for their heart to start beating again? This is a phenomenon sometimes called "Lazarus Syndrome" or "auto resuscitation after failed pulmonary resuscitation". Dr. Sydnee and Justin discuss the outline of exactly what needs to occur, some possible reasons this might happen, and a few wild examples.

Sawbones: Sea Moss
Another day, another fad superfood on social media! Sea moss, or carrageenan or Irish moss, has historically been used for ulcers and sore throats, but does it actually have any proven medical use? Well, no, but it’s probably a good vegan substitute for gelatin.

Awesome show
One of the best podcast I listened to. The show got me into podcast
Laughed out loud
I paint and draw (and actually work) while listening to you guys - and more than once I have had to go back and repaint something because I was laughing so so so hard over something Justin og Sidney said! And at work they think I’m weird because I keep laughing - while I’m the only one in a room 😁
I love the podcast and you guys - and little Charlie 😁😁😁😁😁
Cream of the crop!
I love this podcast and the mixture of goofs and facts. The two hosts are the cream of the crop and does a great job to make their listeners feel entertained while educating them too. Thank you!
