Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies #156: Medicine of the Cosmere - "Gaslight your body into healing itself."

The Sandersonian Institute of Cosmere Studies

There sure is a lot of talk about medicine, surgery, and other health-based stuff in the Cosmere, isn't there? In this episode, the SICS crew is joined by Roger, a trauma surgeon and longtime friend of the podcast!

In this episode, Roger discusses Brandon's depiction of medicine and the healing arts, both mundane and magical, in Brandon Sanderson's Cosmere. It was great to have a subject matter expert's perspective give us a more informed view as we take a look at these characters and plotlines.
