2.6 - King Tut's Curse & Early Medical Malpractice
Show Notes

This week, Jen kicks things off by telling us the facts behind the curse of King Tut's tomb - we'll leave you to decide if the curse is real or not. Then Fraser takes us to 18th century London for a look at the not very sanitary state of surgery at that time, and a famously botched stone removal. For our cocktail, we have the light and refreshing sherry cobbler. Perfect for summer! Pour yourself a glass, sit back and enjoy.
