"BONUS" Episode: Dr. William Beaumont and a Famous Gutshot (Radio Drama)
Manage episode 363005237 series 2935879
This episode will be a deviation from our normal format. Unfortunately, the entire episode we'd recorded for release this week was lost to the cyberspace aether. A whole episode just gone from existence. Discovering this with no time to re-record, we decided to release something previously unheard: a Poor Historians Podcast pilot episode.
We had played with several formats for the show and this episode was one such project. It's a brief radio drama about Dr. William Beaumont, a famous surgeon, who happened to treat a fur trader named Alexis St. Martin for a gunshot wound to the abdomen. St. Martin did not die from the wound, but instead a permanent channel grew between his abdominal skin and the inside of his stomach, medically called a "fistula". This was a window into his stomach (literally) and Dr. Beaumont used this opportunity to study how the stomach worked in digestion and its other general duties. In this episode, we imagined what it would have been like to use a time machine to travel to the early 19th century to see how this unfolded in real time.
We'll be back in two weeks with a regular episode, but hopefully our fans and new listeners find this a fun departure. The alternative was no episode and that would make us sad. Enjoy a very new Aaron, Max, and Mike with then just unboxed microphones, fumbling around a story in medical history.
