375— Dr. Adam Urato on Obstetric Drugs That Harm Mothers and Babies

May and Tim unravel the history of pregnancy tests—from Egyptian barley to injecting frogs with urine (yes, really). They break down why most physician contracts are stacked against you and how Resolve can help you negotiate smarter. Plus, they rant about the latest “dumbest medical study ever,” expose pesticide problems in your pantry, and dive deep into the tension between justice and forgiveness. And of course, it’s all served with Mermaid Vodka, sarcasm, and a splash of sanity. If you’ve ever wondered how Cheerios might be poisoning you—or just want a laugh about the rabbit that actually died—this one’s for you.Our Advice!Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.

Dr. Adam Urato grew up in Framingham, Massachusetts—and returned to serve the same hospital he was born in. But over the course of his career as a maternal-fetal medicine specialist, he discovered a troubling truth: much of what passes for “standard of care” in obstetrics isn’t grounded in good science—it’s driven by pharmaceutical profit.In this gripping episode, Dr. Urato unpacks the decades-long use of Makena, a drug prescribed to prevent preterm birth that was ultimately pulled after being proven ineffective. He details how the same pattern of flawed trials, exaggerated benefits, and minimized risks is playing out again with SSRI use during pregnancy—putting fetal brain development at risk without informed consent.Together with hosts Drs. May and Tim Hindmarsh, Dr. Urato questions the systems that keep patients in the dark, the media silenced, and doctors bound by legal handcuffs to outdated protocols. He reminds us that medications are chemicals—and chemicals have consequences, especially during pregnancy.If you’ve ever trusted a prescription without questioning where the science really comes from, this episode might just change the way you see modern medicine.Our Advice!Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.

Dr. Tim Hindmarsh takes listeners on a whirlwind ride through the modern Middle East, unearthing the often-ignored history behind Israel, Iran, and the real reasons bombs are flying. He challenges evangelical dogma, dissects the narrative war in media, and explores how regime changes have long fueled radical revolutions. With a surgeon’s scalpel and a bartender’s flair, Tim lays bare the absurdity of tribal loyalty, emotional manipulation, and social media echo chambers. Equal parts history lesson and cultural critique, this episode asks the question: Are you thinking for yourself—or just another useful idiot?Our Advice!Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.

Ryan Heath, founder of The Gavel Project, joins BS Free MD for a powerful conversation on the intersection of law, medicine, and free speech. Heath shares updates on his high-profile lawsuit against the Arizona Association of Realtors—a case involving a realtor punished for posting political and faith-based memes. But this isn’t just a real estate story. It’s about how private organizations that control economic access—like medical boards and hospitals—can be held accountable for silencing professionals.Heath unpacks how this legal precedent could open the door for physicians disciplined over COVID opinions, vaccine hesitancy, or gender medicine dissent to fight back. From moral turpitude clauses to the dangers of woke medical groupthink, this episode explores how the erosion of free speech threatens the very foundation of good medical care.Our Advice!Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.

In this laugh-out-loud (and occasionally jaw-dropping) replay of Doctales with Cocktails, Drs. May and Tim dive into one of their most viral segments yet — the story of a "sexual consent expert" who claims we should ask babies before changing their diapers. From there, they spiral delightfully into topics like auto insurance covering STDs (seriously), the possibility of suing Toyota for child support, and whether giraffes really need chiropractic adjustments.This episode blends mockery with meaning, as the hosts pause to reflect on trauma, societal absurdity, and the dangers of over-intellectualizing basic parenting. It’s raw, real, and ridiculous — and that’s exactly how they like it.Segments include:🤦‍♀️ Diaper Changing Requires Consent? We Can’t Even…🚗 Sex in Cars and Lawsuits: Auto Insurance Gone Wild🦒 Giraffe Chiropractors & Bat Adjustments: Science or Snake Oil?🏡 Tim for HOA President?

May and Tim express their excitement about having Brant Hansen on the podcast to discuss his book "Unoffendable." They mention how the book has changed the host's life and how they think about offense on a daily basis. The host recounts a personal experience of feeling offended while stuck in traffic, which eventually led them to question the idea of righteous anger.Looking for something specific?

We’re dusting off a fan favorite this week—because some stories are just too ridiculous not to re-air.This episode takes you from graduation pride in Austin to jaw-dropping public policies in San Francisco, where vodka is now a taxpayer-funded coping mechanism for the homeless (yes, really). Oregon jumps into the mix with a name change that makes “physician assistant” sound more like a business partner. Meanwhile, Tim deep-dives into the satisfying horror of sinus irrigation and pink jail cells, and May teaches us that even your paint color might be screwing with your brain.It’s absurd. It’s hilarious. It’s a wild ride through medicine, mockery, and the madness we’ve all come to expect—and somehow, still can’t believe.If you missed it the first time, welcome to the show. If you're back for round two… you already know what’s coming. Buckle up.Our Advice!Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.

The episode opens with candid childhood memories of vaccines—then veers into a bigger question: Have we placed too much blind faith in medicine? The hosts reflect on their different upbringings, training, and the shocking fallout they’ve seen in their practices. They dissect the fallout from COVID—how it silenced dissent, reshaped medical narratives, and forced patients and providers into black-and-white camps.Together, they examine the erosion of trust in institutions, the marketing of fear, and how both allopathic and holistic medicine have lost their way. From the overuse of antibiotics to the rise of $25,000 wellness scans, they challenge listeners to think critically, not reactively. But beneath it all is a quiet call to return to balance—trusting the body, embracing questions, and choosing life over fear.About the ShowMD/DC is where medical meets meaningful—and where respectful disagreement leads to discovery. Hosted by Dr. Tim Hindmarsh, a board-certified physician, and his chiropractor co-host, this show brings together two healing professions that don’t always see eye to eye.With humor, humility, and a healthy dose of skepticism, they unpack the big questions in medicine, wellness, and culture. No scripts. No tribalism. Just honest conversations about what’s helping, what’s hurting, and how we can all get back on the highway to health.Whether you're an MD, DC, RN, or just someone trying to make sense of modern healthcare—you're welcome here.Our Advice!Everything in this podcast is for educational purposes only.

They explain the real risks and benefits of PSA screening, the consequences of late-stage prostate cancer, and why personalized medicine still gets sidelined—especially in politics.Next, they dissect a horrifying scandal at Harvard Medical School: a former morgue manager pled guilty to stealing and selling body parts from cadavers donated to science. With dark humor and disgust, they explore how institutional trust is eroded and why even license plates (like “GRIMR”) might tell you more than you think.Finally, they wade into the strange world of “urine therapy”—the viral claim that drinking your own pee could be a supercharged health hack. Spoiler alert: it’s not. They break down the scientific half-truths, influencer hype, and stem cell spin, reminding listeners that curiosity should always come with a demand for real evidence.All that, plus: menopausal mattress wars, summer sweat in Florida, and the vodka of the week.

Dr. Jason Giles, once a promising anesthesiology resident, spiraled into fentanyl addiction while trying to keep up with a relentless system. In this candid and deeply human conversation, Dr. Giles shares how a single pager message saved his life, how he rebuilt his career, and why addiction is more than just a physical dependency—it’s often a cry for relief, identity, and control. This episode dives into the historical and modern meanings of addiction, the paradox of success masking dysfunction, and how recovery is often found through surrender, not strength.
