Our eagle-eyed This Medical Life podcast listeners will wonder why we have called this episode 100 … is that right?



Well, it kinda is.



If you add up both This Pathological Life and This Medical Life podcasts episodes, it’s well over 100 episodes.



This is a small milestone for this ‘Trav and Steve’ dynamic duo who have never resolved the question: which one is Robin?



In honour of this achievement, we reflect upon the life and death of an amazing poet and author Oscar Wilde. We dive back into the 1850s to 1900s when modern medicine was at its infancy and the ‘love that dare not speak its name’ was a crime.



This is the story of Oscar Wilde



Our appreciation goes out to our listeners who we hope will enjoy this flight of fancy episode and reflect on where we have come from, where we are, and where we are heading.

Our special guest:  

We have no special guests this episode, other than some choice quotes from the man of the hour, Oscar Wilde.

Welcome to the This Medical Life podcast. Our mission is to share stories about the triumphs and tragedies of diseases and illnesses from ancient times up until what we know today. It is about those scientific and medical minds who came before us and how, every single day, we stand on the shoulders of giants. This is a podcast about the stories of medicine.


Hosted by Dr. Travis Brown and Steve Davis, our target audience is General Practitioners, medical students, and other health professionals. We hope to educate, inspire and celebrate those who choose to care for others in their profession. From experience, we know that our audience extends beyond these fields and would like to welcome anyone to listen. The stories of those who came before us are nothing short of remarkable and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.
