Speaker 1: Lucky Lucky a Lucky Dip time. It's your lucky day
Speaker 1: because it's your Lucky Dip time.
Speaker 2: Hello.
Speaker 1: Hello, it is mal it is Monty. Thanks for joining
Speaker 1: our little bite size Lucky Dip episodes. I hope you're
Speaker 1: great whatever, you're bloody up to it at the moment. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm going to do the lucky Dip today and you're
Speaker 1: going to be proud of me again because I'm doing
Speaker 1: like a fat kind of one. And I know you
Speaker 1: love facts.
Speaker 3: I do.
Speaker 2: I love a fact.
Speaker 1: Okay, So this is all around medical stuff. Okay, I
Speaker 1: look to the MARP because that website of that instagram
Speaker 1: that you told me to follow, Savage Paramedics. Stuff keeps
Speaker 1: popping up now and it's fascinating.
Speaker 2: But some of it too is like oh no, I'm like.
Speaker 1: Yes through anyway. This one has a picture of all
Speaker 1: teeth pulled out, and then it has a picture of
Speaker 1: someone's eye, and this is fascinating. It's called tooth in
Speaker 1: the eye surgery. It is a procedure in which surgeons
Speaker 1: implant a tooth into a blind person's eye to restore
Speaker 1: their vision. It was first developed in nineteen sixty or
Speaker 1: in the nineteen sixties and it still performed today and
Speaker 1: it actually works.
Speaker 2: Hell does that?
Speaker 1: I don't know a tooth because it's like something like
Speaker 1: it can they I think that they put the tooth
Speaker 1: into a part of the body and then it grows.
Speaker 1: It might be into your arm or your leg. They
Speaker 1: sew it in there and then it grows like meaty
Speaker 1: stuff around it. It's the only part of the body
Speaker 1: that does it. And then they insert it in your
Speaker 1: eye and somehow it can help you your vision.
Speaker 2: It's funny because like straight away I go to say, oh,
Speaker 2: but then, why can't they just cure blindness for everyone?
Speaker 1: It doesn't work for everyone.
Speaker 2: Well, this is the thing. I think it must be
Speaker 2: certain kinds of Oh, I totally would.
Speaker 1: Be a certain kind.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: But I was like, oh my god, And who was
Speaker 1: the first person to go, let's rip out a tooth,
Speaker 1: Let's put it in their body so it generates whatever
Speaker 1: the eye needs to get its site back. I just
Speaker 1: am like, oh my god. And the people who were
Speaker 1: the first people to ever get these things? Can you
Speaker 1: imagine you've.
Speaker 2: Got nothing to lose? I guess, well that's the thing.
Speaker 1: You're just like, Okay, so I've got some other facts
Speaker 1: for you. So in the early nineteen hundreds, John Brinkley
Speaker 1: became one of the richest doctors in America despite having
Speaker 1: no medical qualifications. He claimed he could cure impotence, infertility,
Speaker 1: and other sexual problems by surgically implanting goats testicles into
Speaker 1: a man's scrotum.
Speaker 2: What yes, hang on, He obviously practiced this for a while,
Speaker 2: like to be so wealthy. Surely if people were having
Speaker 2: this done, they must have been seeing some sort of
Speaker 2: results for people to keep it.
Speaker 1: But I don't think there were. I don't think that. Like,
Speaker 1: it was extremely dangerous and many patients died. It says
Speaker 1: it has no scientific merit. And goats testicles, yeah, goats testes. Hey, John,
Speaker 1: you can't get your dick up anymore. We're going to
Speaker 1: get the testy surgery done on you.
Speaker 2: And back in those days.
Speaker 1: I know how's this one? This was in ancient Egypt.
Speaker 1: The contraception of choice was crocodile shit. Dried dung was
Speaker 1: inserted into the vagina, and the idea being that it
Speaker 1: would soften as it reached body temperature to form like
Speaker 1: an impenetratable barrier.
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what that would have formed, a fucking
Speaker 2: mad utea.
Speaker 1: This so hard and other contraception like things that people
Speaker 1: would shove up there. You still include tree sap, lemon halves,
Speaker 1: cotton wool, see sponges, and elephant shit as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's contraception because you wouldn't want to go near it.
Speaker 2: It'd be like you're vagina stuff shit, literally.
Speaker 1: How long is that? But then you think like what
Speaker 1: they would were looking at back then, and like you
Speaker 1: can see the logic in tree sap going, let's shove
Speaker 1: that up there. Nothing's gonna like that.
Speaker 2: The sperm might get stuck in it. Yeah, that would
Speaker 2: be yeah, yeah that makes sense. I don't know about
Speaker 2: the shit.
Speaker 1: The shit's pretty hectic and so back in the day,
Speaker 1: like when people just didn't know anything, stuttering like people stutter,
Speaker 1: and what they would do is they would cut off
Speaker 1: half the tongue of the person who studed. Jesus, isn't
Speaker 1: that so full on? It wasn't done under general anesthetic either,
Speaker 1: It was just they just cut off their tongue.
Speaker 2: The barbaric shit that went down, oh my god, on
Speaker 2: there was not an aesthetic and stuff. But also when
Speaker 2: there was like no knowledge and no.
Speaker 1: Knowledge just going half the tongue that will work anyway,
Speaker 1: people just bled out and died. So that died out. Okay,
Speaker 1: I've got two more for you. Fuck Okay. So ancient
Speaker 1: Egyptians to ease toothache pain in some cases mashed up
Speaker 1: a mouse and blended it with other ingredients and then
Speaker 1: would apply it to the painful spot in the mouth
Speaker 1: to Chinese a toothache.
Speaker 2: But what do they think is happening?
Speaker 3: What is the mouse that is so fucking disgusting, isn't it?
Speaker 3: But also in fairness, like what did they have at
Speaker 3: their disposal?
Speaker 1: Nothing? That's when you go place ebo is is real
Speaker 1: because there's not that's not doing shit. And for them
Speaker 1: to go, well, this is gonna work and do it
Speaker 1: to multiple people and then people are probably, oh, my
Speaker 1: tooth doesn't hurt anymore.
Speaker 2: And again the bacteria, how many people would have died?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Also infection there and then you put a dead animals
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 1: I know, so hectic. Also in England for warts, they
Speaker 1: used to cut half a mouse and apply it to warts.
Speaker 2: What's with the mice? You know what? It was probably
Speaker 2: the most available thing that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, would it would have been rampant because they also
Speaker 1: used it to treat hooping cough, MEAs or smallpox and
Speaker 1: bedwetting mice.
Speaker 2: Yes, imagine, after all these years, mice that everyone hates,
Speaker 2: everyone gets exterminators and stuff. They imagine mice with a
Speaker 2: key to curing shit.
Speaker 1: I know, well, because they use mice for scientific reasons.
Speaker 1: But what if what they're doing to the mice isn't
Speaker 1: what is going to cure shit, it's the mice themselves.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, we're on to Oh my god, how
Speaker 2: do we test it? Yeah, that's ethical, Dylin.
Speaker 3: Or isn't it?
Speaker 1: Isn't it? Well, there you go. There's my facts about
Speaker 1: medical stuff.
Speaker 2: So next time I see your mails, don't scream, don't it,
Speaker 2: blend it and even fix your to.
Speaker 1: Hey, thank you. We'll chat to you guys really soon.
Speaker 1: Five and our love you.
