Sawbones: Medicine in Movies
About this episode
The episode explores the portrayal of medicine in films and how it compares to reality.
Miracle drugs, strange side effects, classical conditioning: there are many films where the plot hinges around the existence of some unrealistic medicine. Justin brings to the plate the pills and medical devices in Dune, Robocop, Scanners, and more, while Dr. Sydnee ascertains how close they are to reality – or not.
