A Tale of Cows and Presidential Heart Attacks: A Wisconsin Medical History Story
This episode features a special guest! We welcome Erik and Russ, the hosts of the Wisconsin Drunk History Podcast to the show to share in this unexpectedly far-reaching homegrown tale.
We'll dive into the story of how moldy hay, hemorrhaging livestock, and a literal bucket of blood helped a University of Wisconsin Biochemist discover a medicine that would go on to help a then sitting president recover from his heart attack.
