    With the recent shift in US politics, there might well be a wave of upcoming hearings and impeachments for various government offices, including the head of Health and Human Services – RFK, Jr. Dr. Sydnee and Justin outline both the process of impeachment, what actions someone could take to warrant it, and what medical changes could possibly happen afterwards.Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/Native American Aid: https://nativepartnership.org/naa/ Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

  • Sawbones: Medicare and Medicaid
    3 Nov 2026
    Government medical insurance is not exactly sexy, but it's an often overlooked issue when going to the voting booth. Dr. Sydnee and Justin talk about the difference between the two, why one of them is controversial, and what changes are coming. And if they're still hard to differentiate, Justin has a little rhyme to help you remember!Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/Native American Aid: https://nativepartnership.org/naa/ Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

  • Sawbones: Horror Doctors
    20 Oct 2026
    Horror movies and stories sure do have a lot of mad scientists and doctors running around. But should they still be practicing? Dr. Sydnee and Justin discuss Dr. Caligari, Dr. Jekyll, and more to see whether or not they should have their licenses removed – so maybe if we should be calling him MISTER Giggles.Music: "Medicines" by The Taxpayers https://taxpayers.bandcamp.com/Center for Reproductive Rights: https://reproductiverights.org/ Help support this show and unlock bonus content!
