It's a dark one Dirtlings. Join your hosts Ellsworth and Big Spoon as we take a detour into the Dark History of Medicine. Today we discuss Dr. James Marion Sims and the major part he played in women's health during the mid 1800's, his surgical experimentation on enslaved black women and the incredible mental fortitude of the Mothers of Gynecology: Betsy, Lucy and Anarcha (along with another dozen or so unnamed women).
