    Stillbirths Oct 16, 2026
    Show notes

    When you’re expecting, you might hear all about the ways your body will change, the size of your baby compared to various fruits, the weird cravings people had, or even the old wives' tales to induce labor. But there’s one topic that’s often hushed until after it's happened. This week on Health Wanted, we’re talking about stillbirth: a pregnancy outcome that’s seldom discussed.

    Prescription Drug Costs Oct 09, 2026
    Show notes

    I’m of the opinion that a trip to the pharmacy should be fun. A time to check out the press on nail selection, use the over zealous automated cuff to check your blood pressure, buy discounted halloween candy. NOT a time to go bankrupt while using the insurance you pay hundreds of dollars a month for. This week on Health Wanted, we’re talking about drugs! (not that kind of drugs). Prescription drugs, and how the prices are too dang high!

    We also talk with Professor Courtney Yarbough about how we got to this point, and how complicated it would be to get out of it.

    Plus: Are advanced maternal ages contributing to mental health issues? Does the hygiene hypothesis have anything to do with vaccines? Do you need to be worried about plague in Siberia? And a double dose of TOTAL RECALL including our Sick of the Week.
