#Sawbones
It also could be "A good healer is hard to find" aspect

Lowell especially, since I was one of the only Healer RPers in Stormwind at the 12am-6am block so if anyone in the city got hurt they usually came to me

w/ Sev its just us, but a good sawbones is hard to find in 40k

if you're a fan of the McElroys or medical science, history etc - Sawbones is one of my favs

The podcast "Sawbones" has a great episode about this from last September, I believe, and quoted this very study! But yeah this thread is on point—none of the bullshit "Tylenol causes autism" claims are true
WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Our ancestors had real guts. When the sawbones (no medical education) cut off a limb, they bit down on a stick to stifle the screaming and died nobly when gangrene set in. It built character - during the brief interval between amputation and death.

Why this word?

Victorian-era novelist Charles Dickens is renowned for his contributions to the English language, especially with eponyms — words created after people’s names. While Dickens himself didn’t coin these words (as he did “messiness,” “sawbones,” and “comfoozled”),

Mohammed Bin Sawbones carved up Khashoggi. Literally.

Jared’s favourite despot.

“ ‘Alive’ but is he mentally competent?”

Why do I feel this is like the old joke about the guy recovering from an accident who asks his doctor: “Doc, will I be able to play the piano?”
Sawbones: “Sure!”
Patient: “Great! I never could play it before!”
(Rimshot)🙄
“Alive” but is he mentally competent?

Btw, my hunch is that the SNW writers will have Pike say at some point, "Jim, an old-school SAWBONES like McCoy, is exactly who you need as your CMO."

@cbryanjones.bsky.social You heard it here first, Chris (not based upon any rumor or spoiler). Captain Pike will tell James Kirk something like this, "Jim, you'd be a fool to let an Old-school Sawbones like McCoy off your ship. I'd make him CMO."
Why? SNW writers like to make firsts.

Sawbones has an episode about Vitamin K. Please get your baby all the shots your doctor says it needs so it can grow up healthy and join the rebellion.
After ProPublica contacted Dr. Joseph Mercola for an article on babies dying after parents turned down vitamin K shots, he publicly reversed his long-held stance that the shots weren't needed.

“The data is clear: vitamin K saves lives,” he wrote.

Thoroughly enjoyed the Sawbones episode on this mushroom. Looking forward to listening to SciFri take it on, especially with the researchers that Sawbones referenced!!!
Almost everyone who eats this mushroom has the same hallucination: lots of tiny people.🧑‍🤝‍🧑 👬 👭

Biologist Colin Domnauer devoted his PhD to figuring out why this is happening. He talked with Flora about the hallucinations and how this mushroom is still enjoyed in restaurants.
