  • Summary

  • The honorable doctor John and the less honorable doctor Guy dive into one of the classic medical history origin stories, that of the great William Stewart Halsted.  One of the original Johns Hopkins "Big Four," a visionary surgeon and reformer of surgical training in the United States, and... a functional cocaine addict (aka. a rainbow sniffer, a snowblower, a real crack o'lantern).  Everyone has a skeleton in their closet or a monkey on their back, but not everyone rises victoriously like a Halsted (or a phoenix...).  Happy Holidays everyone!
