634: Medical Fashion- if looks could heal

In this episode, Dr’s J and Santhosh dive into the influences the medical industry has had on the fashion world and vice versa! Along the way, they cover the dumpster fire that is 2020, codpieces, surprise noble fashion trends, braguettes, rabbit syphilis, jockstraps, ROY G BIV and the discovery of purple dye, textile dyes as medicines, the trouble with arsenic, prodrugs, how tuberculosis gave us high heels and miniskirts and more! So sit back and relax as we tailor our episode to dress up all your history about medical fashion in a style you can take anywhere!
