Caduceus Wild Podcast
Caduceus Wild is a medical podcast focused on the always fascinating, often frightening, and occasionally fantastic aspects of medicine as viewed through the lens of case reports both famous and forgotten.
Join @caulimovirus and @Pathologuy2 as they discuss three distinct eras of diet pills in American History, starting in the 1930s when a ingredient from WWI munitions factories found its way into diet pills and cooked people to death, to the "Rainbow Pill" clinics in the 1960s that handed out dangerous combinations of diet pills like candy, to the 1990s class-action darling fen-phen and all the broken hearts left in its wake.
