Dr. Eric Bender

What was that guy doing?

So we wrote a book called One Out of Ten Doctors Recommends Unusual Medical Research Remedies and Recommendations and looked at historically what were some unusual things like drinking urine, using potatoes to stop bleeding, those kinds of things.

Or is drinking urine not great?

Yeah, actually there's a coagulant in a potato.

I wouldn't necessarily, if you're bleeding out, you're probably not gonna shove a potato in there.

And then also some weird stories like a potato inserted in the vagina after childbirth because it would stop the bleeding, but you leave it in too long and also sprouts.

So just looking at things like that.

Interesting.

And that was one book.

And then another book I wrote a long time ago, I wrote it under a pseudonym, scrambled all the letters in my name and came up with Rich E. Drebin.

Yeah, exactly.

There's an urban legend that actually happens in the ER where patients come in, you might be familiar with this, and they have complained of stomach pain and they'll say, oh, it really hurts.

I don't know why it happened.

And then you're doing your evaluation.

Did you travel anywhere?

Did you eat anything unusual?

Did you injure yourself?

Did you fall?

No, no, no, no.

Then you do an image and turns out there's something inserted in the rectum.
