  • Amazing show, reminds you to laugh in these dark times

    Dr Sydney and Justin have gotten me through a lot of rough days. Not just the podcast itself, but Dr. Sydney's constant affirmation of how important the truth is and why we need medical professionals who care, listen, and are committed to learning. What an amazing person!! Justin has been in several podcasts in my weekly rotation for years and his goofiness and relatability as a laymen makes the show that much more enjoyable. Hearing his familiar voice helps remind me to take the time to laugh ... more

  • Medicine is political

    I’ve seen people get mad because this podcast gets “too political”. Hey newsflash, people are dying and being refused care because of politics. Being alive and healthy isn’t a luxury it’s a right that is constantly threatened!

    I love Sydnee even more for holding accountable the politicians with no medical experience making decisions about other people’s lives with little to no regard. I hope she keeps doing it and empowering her peers to do the same.

  • Just say free Palestine good lord

    I was an avid listener of Sawbones for years but I am incredibly disappointed that you won’t take on an episode about Israel’s complete destruction of Gaza’s medical system and kidnapping/killing/maiming of medical staff there. I know that you all will take on tough issues like abortion and trans rights. Why not Palestine? The medical staff there who work through bombings and shooting, who stay with their patients until they are forced to leave by armed forces… they deserve better.

  • I don’t even like medicine, but I love Sawbones

    Sawbones consistently provides well-researched, hilariously delivered, fascinating information. One of the most fun and most useful podcasts out there! The hosts are honest and relatable as well, wish I could take them out for a beer.
