From our earliest days of life E. coli is within us, living in harmony with the rest of our colonic flora. This week on #Sawbones we discuss its ability to really mess all that up through contaminated romaine and undercooked cheeseburgers.

This week on #Sawbones, we discuss the Brompton Cocktail, which was mostly cocaine and morphine. Though used for a long time for pain relief, the cocktail proved to have its problems – but maybe not for the reason you would think.
