Sydnee McElroy

Justin and Dr. Sydnee McElroy are the hosts of the Sawbones podcast, a marital tour of misguided medicine focused on the weird, gross, and sometimes downright dangerous ways we tried to solve our medical woes through the ages. Sydnee has a BS in biology (2005) and an MD (2009) from Marshall University. She currently is a practicing licensed family physician and an assistant professor of medical education with Marshall. Justin is a 15-year journalism veteran with two awards from the Ohio Associated Press for business writing, and is the co-host of the podcasts My Brother, My Brother and Me and The Adventure Zone.

Every week, Dr. Sydnee McElroy and her husband Justin amaze, amuse, and gross out (depending on the week) hundreds of thousands of avid listeners to their podcast, Sawbones. Consistently rated a top podcast on iTunes, with over 15 million total downloads, this rollicking journey through thousands of years of medical mishaps and miracles is not only hilarious but downright educational. While you may never even consider applying boiled weasel to your forehead (once the height of sophistication when it came to headache cures), you will almost certainly face some questionable medical advice in your everyday life (we’re looking at you, raw water!) and be better able to figure out if this is a miracle cure (it’s not) or a scam.
