It's Quack Month and Mrs. Pearlmania is doing a deep dive on the Dr. House of the 1880's. Dr William Stewart Halsted suffered extreme opioid and amphetamine addiction in a time where there was not much help. However he also pionered many medical practices still used today so we ask the question. Medical genius, Quack or something in between?

It's Quack Month!!! Let's gooOOOOO 🦆🦆🦆

Chekhov's Dolphin's are Sentient

Pearlmania500 cruise?? I have discovered that I enjoy thawing myself out on a cruise in the dead of winter because I don't have to plan SHIT for myself and celebrity cruises has been my choice, and virgin was great too! Don't let Mrs P know about cruise ducks and the possibility of hiding those around the ship for a scavenger hunt.......

I love learning about Dr. Halsted!! I have a collection of his medical research and reading some of them are a trip.

Lena

Mun-Son :). In Massachusetts we never pronounce any thing like it looks like phonetically 😂😂

The Trans Agenda (Bucky)

My dentist told me to get this very specific Listerine mouthwash and I've never had mouthwash with alcohol in it. So that night I do my little swish and was immediately like WHY IS IT SPICY?! IS THIS WHAT PEOPLE MEAN WHEN THEY SAY MINT IS SPICY?!!! But then I learned oh it's the icky yucky alcohol. I hate it and yet........ non-alcoholic never feels as clean 😩

Kyle

Fuck Rand Paul and this actual witch hunt he is on. Republicans have spent so much time calling the real pursuit of the pedophile in chief a witch hunt that they don't realize (or don't care) when they do one. I know it's cliché, but if it wasn't for double standards, they would have no standards.

Nixie

Legit that was my first thought lol

Harley Watkins

Too many tabs cruise 2027? Let’s gooooooo

m

Is there a Quack Month Tshirt?

Harley Watkins

Also yes, the whole medical residency thing needs a major rework. My husband is currently a first year pharmacy resident, he sometimes works 12 days straight. And those days can last up to 10+ hours. Of course, he will be able to get a really good job when he’s done but the next 2 years are going to be rough.

Gemma Gallucci

Confirmed, my dad is a surgeon and he is so good at it that he stopped being able to help me with my math homework by the 3rd grade

Gemma Gallucci

Listerine hurts bc it’s alcohol on mucus membranes. I switched to a homemade remedy I think Mrs. P would be interested in. Two cinnamon sticks and like a tbsp of whole cloves. Into boiled water. Jar it up and just leave it for like a day or two then strain. So good for oral health

This is my favorite podcast to listen to while I do chores. I tried to listen to one of Doctor Mike's pod conversations (morbid curiosity, mostly) but I had to rage-quit 30 minutes in because the guest was saying some wild takes about ai and the future of drugs. I guess I'm kind of used to hearing more push-back on quacks and all the non-reactions on that video were baffling!! Give me more Comedy History Podcast Shenanigans with a sprinkling of cathartic rage!! 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆

Thaddeus Stringfellow

I love that Mr. P loves wrestling so much. As someone who has done the Jericho cruise twice…I would do a TMT cruise. I swear I would do it!!!!

Mama_of_Unhinged_Chihuahuas

Wait. We don’t like Paul Walker?!? Yall no. This is my Kohls. Are you kidding me rn?! Ahhhhh!

Patrick Kelly

SWEET MEDICAL MALPRACTICE BATMAN IT'S QUACK MONTH ONCE AGAIN!!

Hootie_McBoob

Off topic but still a quack, I really hate that RFK’s voice saying the Harvest is in my vocal stim lexicon. Thanks Pearlmania

Pluto's Ambassador to Earth

IMO, any doctor that worked at John's Hopkins from it's conception until the late 1900s are quackish to some degree because they experimented a lot on enslaved and free black people including children.

RecklessRoca

I would go on a too many tabs cruise

rocksand

It's started happening to me too, how dare you

rocksand

Omg Mrs. P PLEEEEASE take us on a cruise to Puerto Rico and show us your favorite places as an excursion! I've never felt a real desire to go on a cruise until now!

a_bitch_named_sam

Alex went on a whole Adderall rant and no mention of the rippin' Adderall Queen Caroline Calloway? But yes, ancient Greek references all day 🫶

Sage The Trans Goddess 🏳️‍⚧️

I hate Howie Mandel with a passion. He's one of the hosts of Best Guess Live (a mobile game show where people can win money) and every time he hosts I let out a large groan because he makes some of the most uncomfortable, sexist, and misogynistic jokes ive ever heard. I want to fight this man on an almost daily basis. His stuff from the 90s is pretty funny but of my god the fall off needs to be studied

WhateverTheHeckThisIs

Fun fact from your friendly neighborhood hospital pharmacy technician - they still use cocaine eye drops in some surgeries. Not often, I had to expire my hospitals entire supply last month, but yes. Your hospital pharmacy might have a small stash of cocaine. Also alcohol. So that alcoholics don't die.

Carrie

Well it seems this is my first Quack Month 🤓 I'm listening through the 🦆🦆🦆 eps from the beginning. By the way, I cannot believe we got medical residencies from a guy addicted to cocaine and morphine. No wonder he thought it was just fine for the students to get no sleep💀

Carrie

That's wild👁️👁️I wonder what surgeries still need that

AYAZUKI Yugi (綾月 遊戯)

Holy crap that explains the residency problems so much. The guy who was famously on cocaine and meth creating a grueling residency program where people don't get to sleep. What could go wrong. Also: Not a quack. Just a lot of quack tendencies.

AYAZUKI Yugi (綾月 遊戯)

Also, regarding Woks - after you season it by heating and oiling the fuck out of it repeatedly so it turns dark blueish, you shouldn't be cleaning it with soap unless you intend on repeating the initial seasoning process. Just a brush and water. AND FOR THE SAKE OF WHATEVER YOU FIND HOLY, DO NOT COOK WITH A COLD WOK. YOU'LL STICK EVERYTHING TO IT AND RUIN THE SEASONING.

Shakirah Bey

Omg when Alex mentioned Arctic Splash Iced Tea, I immediately could taste the soft cardboard carton of my childhood.

Short_Range_Attack_Chicken

I love quack month!! 🦆 havent listened yet saving it for my commute to work tomorrow! 🤩😍😍

Ellie G.

The pan from the listerine is due to the alcohol. You can buy it without the alcohol and it doesn’t burn

WhateverTheHeckThisIs

It's a numbing agent and a vasoconstrictor when used topically. Now, in my hospital we mostly make eye blocks that are half lidocaine half bupivicaine. The exact criteria needed for cocaine usage isn't something I'm super familiar with. We only keep 3 dropper bottles and they all expired before we used them so clearly in our hospital it's not something that really happens. I think I also read it can be used if there are allergy concerns but again, not sure how often that comes up.

Elder Millennial Dogtor

Haven’t made it all the way through yet, but got to the “eye bumps” and all I could think about was when Mr. P used to call the breaks bumps and Mrs. P tried her best to stop him. Guess it worked 😂 Happy Quack Month!

The Libberator

Oh my god!! I’m moving this month and I’ve never needed quack month to get through the tedium more. THANK YOU MRS. P!!

Carrie

I'm in a similar boat!! Quack month will help me with all this unpacking😵🦆

Gemma Gallucci

What Mrs p is describing is not a Bali getaway it’s normal pto in other countries

Queen Sheila

MUTHA FUCKEN QUACK MONTH!!!!! ✔️🪿🚫 🦆

Elfishparsley

Mrs P lifestyle Tour!!!! She needs a tour! MR P NEEDS SOLO BABY TIME!!!

Eleanor Yeomans

Hearing about him doing surgery on his mom on their kitchen table reminds me of my friend from Arkansas. Her mom was a pig vet and did horse surgery for fun, so when my friend wanted her belly button pierced, her mom did it at their kitchen table. She also neutered my friend’s pet rat on that table as well apparently.

Gayelordoftherings

I’m gonna need yall to fact check me on this one cause I stopped mid run to type this: but I’m about 80% sure that Arabic nations were sanitizing their instruments for like…. 100s of years before this dude…

pleasedontletmitchoutlivetrump

I have never been on a cruise. I am a workaholic. I would attend a TMT cruise to get away with people who understand my random references finally. Anyone else going to the Boston Crashing Out tour?

Beep boop

Talking about man-napping, they do still kidnap teens to send them away like this quite often! Look into the troubled teen industry.

MsEaVav

I’ll have 10 years on March 1st- Mrs. P is right because YEAH I went to Passages (twice) AND the original Hazelden (also twice, once with a very funny OG weekly weekend live comedy show cast member who also needed a VACATION… and who is actually really nice BTW) and we didn’t get to ENJOY it! Mrs P please plan a rehab retreat for the sober ladies!! This is a million dollar idea TBH

Jennifer

So I'm going to say not a quack. He kept failing upwards...until he didn't.

Europoopin

Kalshi is very much giving hunger games. 😬

Europoopin

Guys it's never lupus except that one time that it was. One of my exes called House medical scooby doo. Was he wrong? No. Did I care? Also no. My mom and I watched that show RELIGIOUSLY.

Caryn Thiel

Any Chicago Med watchers losing their minds about Will Halstead the character probably being named after this guy? 🤣

Chaos, Bringer of

Can you imagine if instead of having pocket sand to throw into someone's eye it was coke?

Cherry_Vanilla_Coke_Supremacy

I had gallbladder surgery a couple years ago. It was either caused by Taco Bell or my friends mom’s cooking 😂. I still eat Taco Bell but haven’t had Mrs. P (I know crazy coincidence) since

Coco Boomslang

He dated a 16 year old when he was 33...

Coco Boomslang

My BIL had a weird drug rule too, he only did meth while unemployed and sleeping on friends couches....

MeliWillow

Puerto Rico was the first place I thought of!!!!
