The Sawbones Medical Quiz is back and better than ever, with questions about this past year's episodes! What have you learned about bad fast food, Senate contenders, pirate medicine, and owls?Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/

Saw bones is a show about medical history, and nothing the hosts say should be taken as medical advice or opinion. It's for fun. Can't you just have fun for an hour and not try to diagnose your mystery boil? We think you've earned it. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy a moment of distraction from that weird growth. You're worth it. that weird growth. You're worth it. Alright, talk is about books. One, two, one, two, three, four. Hello everybody and welcome to Saul Bones. Meryl Turf, Miss Guided Medicine.

I'm your co-host, Justin McRoy. And I'm Sydney McRoy. Sydney, how you doing, man? Not great, damn you, man. No. I've got a throat issue. I told her, I said, we don't need to record your sick. And she just said, I'm a professional Justin.

She shows everything to me. If you're worried about Justin, I'm not contagious. I'm investigating the possibility that I have a genetic condition, but this is still under investigation. Yeah, we've got to top people on it. I'm also, I'm also, and many people in the medical profession will tell you this, whenever you find yourself ill,

you go to one of two extremes. Either you assume like, this is absolutely nothing and you ignore it and just keep working through it. Or if it really is bothering you or it recurs or something, then you decide I must have something extremely rare. Right. Right. And I must do lots of research to figure out this rare possibly fatal condition that I have

and must be very alarmed about all the time. I don't really think that I have anything fatal or rare, but anyway, I have a very, very sore throat. I've numbed it up right now with various tinctures and potions, not really just actual medicine, to get through this episode. But I apologize if I sound like this. This is a good one. We are going to get through this episode, maybe a little shorter than our usual episode, just so I can get my incredible wife back to her sick bed, by which I mean, she's probably going to go to Harmony House and help people more. But I'm not contagious.

I just want to keep underlining that. I know that I'm not contagious. So we're going to do something fun that we have not done in quite some time. It's a new year, new year, 2023. Yes. Or 20, 20, son and sea, as we've just named it on my brother and brother. I really like 20 sunny day.

20 sunny day was very good. You were right, but you know, the branding, the logos, the infringement, the legal battles. I just not at all the stomach for it at my age. I was hoping to get like a sunny day, you know, sponsorship. We have extended the offer to the company that if they give us $25,000 to charity, they give $25,000 to charity,

they can buy the rights to the year. I just want sunny D, you know, sunny D mimosa's every morning. Yeah. So we're gonna do something different. So what are we doing this week? Well, I believe we did this last year, maybe the year before.

It's been a little bit. It's been a little bit. We've done this before, but I thought it might be fun to wrap up. I know it's technically already the new year, but we're wrapping up the old year with a super, super saw bones quiz about our show for 2022. This is a test of how well I specifically have been paying attention to the show, which is always thrilling over here. And also for you at home, to play along at home, we loved when people would put their scores on social media and talk about how they did, I will keep track of my own score here just

to be a good sport. And because I don't have anything else to do except wrap my brain so I need something to fiddle with. Now, these are specifically from all the episodes we've done since the beginning of, not all, most of the episodes we've done since the beginning of 2022. The ones that were most amenable to fun trivia type questions. Okay. Sydney, I'm ready. I don't want to waste any more of your valuable throat time. I'm ready to, to, that was a terrible phrase. I'll never say that again. I'll never say that again.

And for, I'm ready. Justin, question number one. Okay. What is the name of the shade of pink that will allegedly calm you down? Do you remember the subject? The shade of pink that will allegedly calm you down. You did an episode about how color can affect not just like your mood, but the way you actually behave.

And specifically, there was one shade of pink that was thought to impact human behavior, just such an extent that jail cells were painted this. There were rooms in psychiatric facilities painted this. There is famously a locker room for a visiting team locker room that was painted this color. Oh yeah, pink. Yeah, what's pink?

I said what shade of pink? It's a specific pink, pink is too easy. It's a specific pink. Yeah, what color? I said what shade of pink. It's a specific pink. Pink is too easy. It's a specific pink. Okay, the word chart truth is in my head. And I don't know. But not that. Well, that's not really how trivial works.

People don't say what they're thinking out loud and then the host is like, it's not that one. Try it in. Chartreases of pink. It's like a greenish, right? Yeah. Good, pink. Per. It was named a greenish, right? Yeah. Good. Good.

It was named for the two dudes who first tried it out. Oh, it's named after two dudes. Okay. It was named for the two dudes who first tried it out. Riggs and Meyer. No. I tell you now. Cheach and Chong.

Baker Miller. Baker Miller, pink. Baker Miller, pink. There's the two who first gave it a go to see if it would work. Without telling the inventor of the color, well discoverer of the color, you know what I mean? Anyway, Baker Miller Pink, there's no evidence that it really calms you down. But people like it.

That was a very hard one to start off with. I'm sorry, I thought it was an easy one. Hatshima-chiyo. Oh, okay. Number two. All right. So we know that in this past year, Lizzo played a crystal flute owned by James Madison. Yep.

That was very cool, very, very neat moment from 2022. But what was the name of the weird instrument that people used to play? We talked about it on this show that may have caused them to die. It didn't probably, but it may have. Yes. It did. It almost certainly did not. No, it didn't.

I can go ahead and say it did. But people thought it did. That would be the glass armana. And for bonus, who made it? Ben Franklin. Good job. That's two points. Yeah. The first one was just worth one.

This one is worth two because it's a two-parter. Okay. Wow. That's huge for me. That's huge. Ben Franklin's Glass Armonica. If you've never heard anybody play one, you should look it up on YouTube, because it's a really, otherworldly is how I would describe it.

It is a very haunting instrument, which I think is why they thought it was killing people. Somebody died during a performance and somebody else passed out. They had these weird occurrences during certain performances when people were playing the instrument. So, almost certainly unrelated. Okay, number three. Okay.

What patent medicine of sorts from the late 1800s got the following RAVE reviews. So these reviews are all about a specific product from the late 1800s in the family of patent medicines. Okay. Dr. Manson says that it in all caps does not cause nausea. Dr. Bradley found it useful for sea sickness. Dr. Trimbley wrote, I have used this specimen prepared by you and I must say that this is the best preparation from meat

I have ever used. And Mr. Comjee's wrote, I've tried it in a limited way and it is given satisfaction. What was the medicine? It's just such a different time we live in now. Um, honey, I it does not cause nausea. Honey, I um, gave you a clue.

Preparation from me. It's meat, meat pills. Oh man, so close. Valentine's meat juice. Valentine's meat juice. Valentine's meat juice. Famously gave it to his ailing wife and saved her life. He just ground up meat. Ground up meat gave her the meat juice saved her life.

Didn't didn't probably, but he thought it did. Thought it this. Quite a few doctors tried the meat juice. Number four, the substance that fell from the sky and either cured or caused disease was called what? The substance that fell from the sky? There's a gelatinous ooze that fell to the earth. We didn't episode about this.

It's been happening supposedly for centuries, but there were some more famous occurrences in more recent times that we covered in greater detail like in the 70s. Okay, yeah, this was whale blubber. Was the gelatinous substance? I feel like judging from your face, it maybe wasn't whale blubber.

Adipose. Tisanna, I should clarify, we don't know that it fell from the sky. Oh! That was what people assumed about it when they found it. Yeah, jelly is half of it. What kind of jelly? Srollium jelly.

Starfish jelly. Star jelly? Srollium jelly. Starfish jelly. Star jelly. Yes. Star jelly. Yes. You got there. For bonus, so for an extra point. I can you name literally any of the explanations we came up with for where this has happened lots of times through history.

Meteorites. No. Do you remember any of the reasons they thought where it may have come from? Um, no, honey. I did. I don't, honey, but you saw the blue, the, the hoops. My brain had to jump that, you that really felt like inside out when there's like a dude wrestling around through the shelves.

Like, I found a starfish. Is this anything? Is it like this? For some reason, found a starfish. Is this anything, is it like this? For some reason, I have starfish. We thought maybe it was frog innards. Oh, God. Like that, that could be one of the reason,

one of where these little gelatinous piles all over the town came from. Sometimes we think it's a mold, sometimes we think it's an algae. There was a time where a battery processing plant maybe released some material that could have looked jelly-like. So these are all possible explanations for times where people have found star jelly, and it was both blamed for causing people to become ill

and used as medicine throughout history. Wow, star jelly. used as medicine throughout history. Well, start jelly. All right, what claims got Cheerio sued by some serial eaters and threatened by the FDA? The serial lowers your cholesterol. Yes. Yeah, I'm gonna give you that. I have the specific how much they claimed,

but I don't think that's necessary. Yeah, I remember that advertising campaign. 4% in six weeks. Wow. If it didn't have to be that specific. Well, that's really what the FDA took a lot of issue with was the specificity. And do you remember specifically what the FDA said

they were gonna have to do if Cheerios didn't change it? Is this an additional point? Mm-hmm. Then I'm going to say treat it like a drug, label it like a drug. That's correct. They're going to have to reclassify Cheerios as not a food, but a drug. I'm addicted to Cheerios. Does that count?

Specifically oat and honey, the, uh, those, the, the oat crunch variety. Mm-hmm. Oh, man. That's a good one. That's a good one. Yeah. No, I like Cheerios. I'm was good. It did change its wording if you notice. And that's why you see we did a whole episode about that. That's why you see more vague claims like heart healthy. Sure. Like what does that mean? I don't know. You know, You get it. This is healthy for your heart. It could just mean that it makes you happy and full of joy and love. Yeah. Okay. Question number six. Yeah.

Why does Tucker Carlson think men are ending? He did a special- You know that there are probably like 30 different answers to this that I could give you that would be 100% correct. It would require like a long biography of the winding road that has led him to this permutation of himself that would say why?

The why is so mysterious? Why Tucker? Why? Why Tucker? Cause they're not. What specific, we did an episode specifically on something that is true, that is happening. That Tucker Carlson feels is spelling the end of men, and he did like a special series on the end of men.

Lower testosterone levels in the population. That is correct. Our testosterone levels on average appear to be dropping. And he had a special fitness expert guest named Andrew McGovern on his show. And he told him how we could fix it. Do you remember? This is another two pointer.

We could sun our balls. There you go. That's right, testicle tanning. What's the typical tanning? If you remember, don't get it on your tape. That's a different treatment. The tanning is different. The tanning. Just the tanning. If you remember, don't get it on your tape. That's a different treatment. The tanning is different from the ball. Yes, no, if you remember, and I hope

you didn't have to watch that end of men thing, but I did see a trailer for it. And there was a moment in the trailer where they have a triumphant looking man on top of a mountain. I'm assuming fully nude. You can't see his genitals because... Because he's cable and they don't have the guts. Because his genitals are being tanned by a light. So there's a light cleverly placed instead of the fig leaf. They have a sun lamp. And he's like standing like arms outstretched and triumph

as he tans his testicles on top of a mountain outside. Which you got to wonder if you're already outside naked. Yeah, you just got it. Why did you say that? Because it's cost money. I'm doing great. You don't move out. Okay, question number seven.

Okay. Do you remember Harry Bino, the Poison King, or Beno, Harry Beno, Harry Beno? Harry Beno, the Poison King. We did an episode about him. Yeah, remember Harry. Yeah, he discovered he could eat strict nine and live. He may not have actually eaten strict nine,

that was up to some debate. But anyway, eight strict nine lives, so he made a career out of going around and eating things and not dying. What's done finally, sadly, spelled the end of Harry Bennett, the Poison King. What took it too far? He...

The very relevant to us, Justin. Very relevant to us. Very relevant to us. He podcasted too hard and it killed him. No, no, I don't remember You don't remember what he did. No, no, no, I don't the stunt that took his life He drilled a hole in his head. Oh right and he caused brain damage and succumbed to his injuries Should have listened to solvans. Should have listened to I do. I have to.

Well, he was alive long. He died long before solvents. Oh, we got to him to the lake. I know. Once time travel is invented, we can save the life of Harry Bennett and Poison King. Question number eight. What pet was the unlikely vector of a monkey pox outbreak in the United States in 2003? Pig.

Sorry, I said it with confidence in the hopes that you'll be like, amazing. You just say the first thing that pops in your head. All the time. Okay. What pet was the unlikely vector of monkey pox? Mm-hmm. These animals were housed with the animals that probably carried it initially,

but then they were all kept in the same facility before they were distributed pet stores. A bunch of corgis. It was not a bunch of corgis. As far as you know, it was a bunch of corgis. What's your version of the story? They were prairie dogs. Prairie dogs, which are not dogs, okay? There's one family that got? They were prairie dogs. Prairie dogs, which are not dogs.

Okay. There's one family that got two, one prairie dog died of monkey pox sadly, but the other prairie dog, Chuckles lived. Great. How should I feel about that when you've just told me? I don't know how to, I don't know what emotions to form about these prairie dogs, I don't know.

All right, we gotta get through two more questions than a break. Okay. Number nine, we gotta get through two more questions and then I'll break. Okay. Okay. Number nine, what is the theory I shared on our vomiting episode about why we vomit when we see someone else vomit? Do you remember that?

We got a whole episode about vomiting and there's a theory is that someone else in your group has ingested the same things as you. So the people in your proximity have also adjusted your group has ingested the same things as you. So the people in your proximity have also adjusted these poison. So evolutionarily, if we see someone else vomit, we're like, oh God, I've eaten it too. There you go.

I mean, I want it to be true. That's a fun. It makes a lot of sense. I don't think we have a lot of proof for sure that that's why, but I think it makes a lot of sense. Discussed is a very important feeling for us. It helps keep us alive. It's how we don't eat things that are rotten and whatnot.

And question number 10 before our break. What, and you weren't on this episode. This is the episode I did with Charlie. I hope you listened. Yeah, of course. What did the radium girls do in the factory that exposed them to radium? What were they doing?

They were making like ceramic pots, right? Like they're making pottery, ceramic stuff. No, you didn't listen to the episode, me and your daughter, mate. I did listen to, I'm not a big podcast guy. You know what it was, I listened on 1.5 speakers. You also didn't, you also didn't watch the YouTube video that, right, that Charlie watched to initially.

Where is that comment? Well, there's something about plates and radiation, right? There's some. I'm not making that one. Are you thinking of fiesta? Maybe yes. We're at war. When the fiesta plates don't have radiation now,

there's a time. They're making bombs. No, they weren't making bombs. No, they weren't. We're at war. Fiesta plates don't have radiation now. They were making bombs. They're making bombs. They were making bombs. They were making bombs for the war. They were doing art. They were painting watch faces with radioactive paint. It would make him glow. And it was a new material.

Nobody knew that it was, well, questionably nobody knew it was dangerous. So the girls were responsible for painting the watches so that they would glow in the dark. And what they would do is lick the tip of the brush to bring it to a point every time they, and so that's how they, there was also a lot of,

they may have put it in their hair and on their clothes and things because it made everything glow and nobody knew it was deadly. So. All right. We're going to take a break, but just to recap right now, I'm going to have available 14 points. I am in possession of eight of them, which I feel okay about. Pretty good.

I, yes. I'm only a little disappointed. Well, you should be used to that, by now. Even married make for quite some time. Alright, let's go to the building department. Let's go. My fellow graduates for 500 episodes, my podcast, the JV Club with Janet Barney has gathered story after story of all the scandalous things we've done throughout our child books. Stories like How Jemila Jamil survived a horrific house party and she was on crutches. Or how how loved one learned a Shakespearean monologue in his pajamas.

This is not the speech we approve. Without your love and life tragedies, there would be no podcast. In fact, I have an exclusive look at how Maggie Lawson's mom confronted her after a sneaky basement meetup with her crush. Security. Listen to the JV Club with Janet Barney Thursdays on Maximum Fun.

Well, too. Alright, Justin. Round two. All right, Justin. Question 11. Can you name any two ingredients in the many variations of the Brompton cocktail? Brompton cocktail was a collection of substances put together specifically to ease someone's pain and suffering towards the end of life.

There were many variations of it. There was the officially listed one, but then a lot of doctors kind of did their own thing. And I'll opium. Okay. Cocaine. Hey, that's good. You could have said morphine. You could have said alcohol. You could have said chloroform. You could have said heroin. You could have said thawing.

You could have said sugar. And, you could have said heroin, you could have said thorthing, you could have said sugar and that would technically have been okay. That was actually my next guess because that was the medicine go down. Yeah. Should we give you two points for that? I mean, two points. I give you that. You can give me two points but it's out of a two available points. Actually, you need two.

You need to. Yeah, that's out of two. I said I needed two, so I'm a bit out of two. Okay. Okay. Number 12. British physician, Sir William, are both not laying in the early 1900s, began to promote a theory that constipation

was kind of like the central scourge of everything. Everyone has this battle, this lifelong battle with constipation, and it causes most of our health problems And he had a saying She need to complete this saying The wider your bread The sooner you're dead. Hey Yes, nice

Yeah, that is not scientifically sound I would guess. No, it is not necessarily true. I think there's probably many other factors, but no, there were there were a lot. This was from our episode on Meta Musil, and there were a lot of people trying like sort of blaming. I mean, it we can all agree. It sucks to be constipated. It is a medical problem. It doesn't need to be addressed. For sure. But constipation for a while became like the focus of if we could just fix this. Everything else. If we could fix this one thing, everything, if we could fix our gut health. Yes.

Gut health is still a big, I would say that's still a big area where like there is truth and then there's lots and lots of fiction out there that all of your problems lie in your gut health. And if you just take a special supplement or cut a certain thing out of your diet, then it'll fix it all. It'll fix it. And I really, I think a lot of that is real dangerous too, because it gets tied up in a lot of unhealthy, like, disorder to eating habits we have and promotion of diet culture. And anyway, so as I said, that was from our episode about Meta Muscle.

And this is question number 13. I did that episode because there was someone a famous figure who told everybody to take Meta Muscle. Who said it was a good idea that pretty much anybody would benefit from taking Meta Muscle. Oh, man. Who was it?

It was seeking a sponsorship even, I believe. Maybe in a joking way from Meta Mussel. Oh dang it. This. Who told everybody to take Meta Mussel? Oh man, this is really gonna irritate me. It is really gonna irritate you when I tell you who it is. Yeah.

Oh man. I know it's bad audio to listen to somebody try to come up with something like this, but it's also like, Hank Green. Yep. I was about to say he's going to be bad if you don't remember. Oh, Hank. Hank the tank.

Hank the crank, you know that I wouldn't forget you, bud. Except for that moment of time when I did forget you. He just used one of your sounds on TikTok and this is how you treat him. Yeah. All right. Question number 14. Which fast food chain, although it was kind of kept quiet at the time and it actually took me a little bit to figure this out as I was researching the episode, was indeed responsible

for the E. coli-o-one-five-seven-h-seven outbreak. So, bad burgers give people diarrhea. In 1982, this is not the big one. That's gonna be the bonus question. So I'll go ahead and tell you that. There was an outbreak in 1982 that was the first of these big, like these fast food chain outbreaks.

And then there was the very well publicized one in 1992 that most people remember and associate with a fast food chain. So we're looking for two different fast food chains. Okay. What was the initial one that was kept quiet? And what was the big one 10 years later that everybody heard about? Jack in the box. Which one is that?

The one everybody heard about. Yes. The one that was kept quiet. That was hard for me to figure out at first. What fast food chain was responsible for it? McDonald's. That's right. Yes. Yeah, I think most people, like when even when you hear the name Jack in the Box, we live

in a part of the country where you, there are no places to eat. There are no Jack in the Boxes. There are places to eat. No, I mean, there are no Jack in the Boxes. Jack's in the Boxes or Jack in the Boxes. Jack in the Boxes. Jack in the Boxes. Is it like Surgeon's General or? That's a good one. I actually don't know, Jack in the box or Jack in the boxes. Jack in the box, Jack in the boxes. Is it like surgeons general or?

That's a good one, I actually don't know. There aren't none of that restaurants exist here, but when I hear that, I have this vague association of like, wasn't there diarrhea sometime? And we don't have that with McDonald's. No, because they got better lawyers than Jack's in the boxes. I also think it probably, we may have talked about this on. No, because they got better lawyers than Jackson boxes. I also think it probably, we may have talked about this

on the episode. I think it reflects the time. We can't tell people because everyone will freak out if you think your fast food is infected, you know. There's a whole west wing episode about it. Yeah, that's true. That was about Mad Cal, but yes. Same, same idea.

Anyway, so that was two points. Number 15, this, I mean, mean, you should be able to get this because there's so many options for the answer. No pressure. Name literally anyone, anyone of failed Senate candidate draws fake health claims. Anyone of draws is unfounded health claims. I should say unfounded.

Some are completely fake. Some, we just don't know what the heck he's saying. Green tea extract, increasing your longevity. Ginkgo, buloba for your memory. I mean, I'm sure he said, yeah, he has said those things. I think you're thinking green coffee. Green coffee. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. Um, I mean, give me some other ones just because I already got this, but I always like hearing them. He made a homeopathic starter kit for people. He told people to take hydroxychloroquine for COVID. He said the apple juice contained dangerous levels of arsenic, cell phones, cause cancer, raspberry ketones, or a number one miracle in a bottle to burn fat. HCG is a weight loss solution as long as you only

1200 calories a day along with it. Garcinia, Cambodia, erodology, medical astrology. The list goes on. I just am so excited he lost. He almost made it to Senate. I know, but I really needed the W and I really, really liked that he lost it made me really happy. The election night, of course, I was discovering that I had lost and the one thing that brought me the most comfort was Dr. Oz losing. It did.

It was a real pick for me, if we needed it the best. I needed to know that if I was losing, the draws was losing. You brought it down with you. Yeah. I'm gonna say it was why I lost my, my, you said it too much time trying to bring down Dr. Oz.

And it lost me a lot of votes here in West Virginia. A lot of support for draws here in Honeckton. Okay. Okay. Um, number 16. What discipline did the book titled? And this is just, I wanted to include this for this book title. You ready?

Yep. Quineine and iodine changed the color of the iris. I formerly had blue eyes. They are now a greenish color with reddish spots. That's the title of the book in 1871 written by Niels Lill's Quest. What discipline did that help develop? Do you need the title of the book again? Quineine and iodine changed the color of the iris.

I formerly had blue eyes. They are now a greenish color with reddish spots. Like what did we mean discipline? Um, an area of pseudoscience, pseomedicine that developed out of this. Chromiopathy. What is called? Crome, crome. What was it?

We're specifically focused on the eyes here. Oh, um. Dr. Oz touted it too. Oh, I don't know. I don't remember. Eurodology. Eurodology. Yeah. You can read the iris and tell about disease. Um, number 17 is also related to that episode. In that episode that you're about at Eurodology. What happened to Hungarian physician Ignáz Pezli to inspire his florey into the field? He had a specific, there's like a,

it like with most of these, there's a story, something happened, and he noticed a change, and that led him to explore the idea of your identity. Was it an injury and eye injury? Not, no, not to him. Um, I don't remember. I don't know. There was a bird involved. Mm-hmm.

He accidentally broken Al's leg. And after it healed, he noticed that there was a spot in the iris that wasn't there before. And he thought that spot was indicative of a history of a broken leg. And that maybe there were other things we could look in people's eyes and find history though. Okay, okay. I should have, I'll, I'll had a broken leg was on the tip of my tongue. I don't know why I didn't find that one. Question number 18.

Anthroposophy. Remember we did a whole episode on that? Yeah. Gave rise to what set of private schools throughout the world? Oh, man. You're a special school. And they're usually, although I always

think of them as bougie, many listeners wrote in and said that they're not necessarily bougie. They are very specific and you know You can think whatever you want about their certain styles of learning or whatever But they do have like scholarships. So there are people who go Sorry, not Montessori Is it like that though similar idea like a special set of private schools throughout the world. Is it? Head of their own. Yeah, it is.

That's a philosophy. Waldorf schools. Waldorf schools. Yeah. And some listeners did point out I was not bougie but I attended one. So. Well there you go. Or maybe, you know, you look around a table.

You don't see the bougie person. I mean, you see. I don't know. And I guess just next to church. There were bougie people who went, but I guess, you don't see the bougie person. And you just see, I don't know. And I guess just an exception. There were bougie people who went, but I guess not everyone who has gone is bougie. And if you are bougie and you're proud of it, that's fine too. I don't really care. I only say bougie because my siblings do and they're cooler than me. Now, question number 19, more almost at the end.

What was found on Blackbeard ship that indicated a painful treatment for syphilis could take place there? They found a collection of these when they uncovered the wreckage. A metal tool. For what? What did you do with it? You clean out the peat hole.

Oh, you're so close. I got it. A urethra spanner. A urethra little spanner. Not a sp it. A urethral spanner. A urethral spanner. Not a spanner. A urethral needle. Uh-huh. And what you gonna,

what you gonna squirt in there? Markery. Hey, you got it. Yes. That's right. So many, many of these syringes that could be used for urethral administration of mercury. Okay. That was a common treatment for your rethral administration of mercury.

That was a common treatment for syphilis at the time. And question number 20. Now, you're not going to know if you get this right for a long time. This is like an aspirational question. Okay. So, keep track of your answer. I don't know, write it down somewhere. Okay.

And next year this time, we'll find out if you're right. Okay. Okay. What will the big unexpected medical events be in 2023 that we hear at sawbones wind up doing a lot more episodes about than we expect? We've had so many of those in the last few years. Did I ever think I'd be doing an episodes about not just monkey pox,

but we did an episode called Monkey Pox Update, because that's how relevant monkey pox was in 2022. Who saw that coming? No, nobody. I mean, obviously COVID was a bit, but like who has seen the things that we have had to do episodes to cover who saw these things cut?

So that's why I'm giving you the chance to test your prognostic skills. Maybe you have a little bit of, I don't know, clairvoyance that you didn't know about. I don't know that I believe in that, but maybe you do and maybe you have that. I'm going to go a little bit outside the balance and say hepatitis X. A lot of people aren't talking about it because it's not real, but hepatitis X, I believe this is the year 2023, we'll be the year of hepatitis X. The rare, good hepatitis.

It's a good one. Hepatitis X, coming to a liver near you. All right, so that's your that's your so everybody can take some time with that when you got a whole year to find out if you're wrong. Right. That'll be for bonus. That's your bonus to hold on to. The rest of them should add up to 25. I thought that was a nice neat. Yeah. The rest of it. So out of 25 points, you can figure out your score. You can share it with us if you want. Yeah. 15 out of 25 was my final score. You know, I know you're not paying too much attention. So that actually makes me feel pretty good. I have a lot of attention. I have to come up with the jokes too. It's a full-time

job. Thank you so much for playing along with us. We've got a lot more for you this year. It's going to be another fun one. As always, we're so thrilled that you continue to hang out with us and join us. And we're also thankful to taxpayers for these. They're song, Menacins as the intro and outro of our program. And thanks to you for listening. That's going to do it for us for this week. Until next time, my name is Justin McRoy.

I'm Sydney McRoy. And as always, don't drill a hole in your head. Alright!
