Sawbones: Vitamin K
About this episode
Dr. Sydnee discusses the history and importance of Vitamin K, particularly its use in newborns.
No, not the musical artist who sang the graduation song (that's Vitamin C). Vitamin K has been in the news a little bit lately because it's often given as a shot to newborns. Dr. Sydnee talks about the history of its discovery, what it is for, why it's important, and why in the world it's called Vitamin K.
