Hi Everybody - A Bad Medicine Podcast

Dr. Jackson Vane and Johnny Kolasinskihieverybodymd.com
Doctors talk about what Hollywood gets right and wrong about medicine and how the body works. Each week we discuss how a film or episode of television depicts illnesses, injuries, and the lives of medical professionals. As we wrap up each episode, the film or show being discussed is graded for its medical accuracy in comparison to 2010’s The Human Centipede, which marketed itself as “100% medically accurate.” Rian Johnson’s Knives Out, for example, is considered “140% medically accurate” when compared to The Human Centipede. Luc Besson’s Lucy, meanwhile, was awarded a 10%. Midsommar earned our highest rank yet, at 400% - which means it's roughly four times more medically accurate than The Human Centipede. New episodes Thursdays!

69. Severance - "Avoidance bad, Severance good"

Johnny, Dr. Jackson, and Dr. Greg Winter discuss one of our favorite shows of 2022, Apple TV's Severance. Could we really surgically create multiple/disassociated personalities? Would it be healthy?

53. Code Black: We Plug Holes - "There's a spontaneous thoracotomy in Alien"

We're joined by Drs. Greg Winter and Scott Herskovitz to discuss the second episode of "Code Black." The show did one thing right - it was a great example of the way doctors in teaching hospitals actually have to teach. Having an ER resident perform a laparoscopic surgery unassisted? That's less accurate. Greg recommended a book called "The Knife and Gun Club," which can be found on Amazon at https://amzn.to/3bTLCWE

Johnny and Dr. Jackson are joined by Dr. Greg Winter to discuss Evil S01E11, "Room 320." This episode features a homicidal nurse - but she's not a great nurse. And it's not a great hospital.
