In many unrelated cultures across the world, there has been, and STILL IS a phenomenon known most widely as "The Couvade". After a woman's pregnancy, the father is treated as if HE was the one who carried and delivered the baby! What?!?! Where did this come from? Why did it ever happen? Why, OH WHY, is it still happening in some places?

This is my first episode, and I know it's not specifically about women's health - but it does set the tone for the baseline of how women have been treated by doctors and the like for millenia.

Try your very best to remain sane while I tell you about this absolutely preposterous phenomenon's origins and practices. It is insane, and anything but, hysterical.

Welcome to Hysterical Medicine! Today we spend a few minutes to tell you what the show will be all about. The first episode will be released on January 7, 2025 - please subscribe and get ready for a wild ride through the downright infuriating and often laughable history of women's health in the western world.
