We’re turning our healthcare experience toward the strange, baffling, and downright unsettling world of medical mysteries.  We’ll dig into unusual cases, diagnostic puzzles, unexplained symptoms, and medical misadventures.  Our first three seasons covered a little bit of everything, including crime, conspiracy, mystery, and the occasional rabbit hole we probably shouldn’t have gone down.  Those episodes aren’t going anywhere, so the archives remain open for anyone who likes their mysteries a little more broad-spectrum.  But from Season Four on, the prescription is different.  More medicine.  More mysteries.  More questions.  Because sometimes the body is the crime scene, the diagnosis is the plot twist, and the truth is hiding somewhere in the chart.  So grab a drink, hit follow, and tune in every Tuesday for a new episode.

    Alpine Divorce: When a Hike Becomes a Homicide

    **Discussion begins at 5:25** Alpine Divorce: Ending a relationship by murdering one’s significant other during a mountain trip and passing it off as an accident, or more specifically, abandoning a partner in a remote outdoor setting. The phrase originates from an 1893 short story by Scottish-Canadian author Robert Barr, titled An Alpine Divorce. In the grim tale, an unhappy husband plots to kill his wife during a trip to the Swiss Alps, only for her to turn the tables on him, having already framed him for her murder before leaping herself. Several high profile cases over the last few years have led to a viral trend of social media users telling their own stories of “Alpine Divorce”. These tales of domestic abuse involve one partner endangering the other in the wilderness – with the victim either being left in a perilous situation, or merely abandoned without consideration for their safety and well-being. Today we’re going to discuss some of the most high profile cases. Send us Fan Mail Support the show Theme song by INDA

    The Pollock Twins: Back from the Dead

    **Discussion begins at 4:30** In the late 1950s, a quiet family in the English town of Hexham experienced a tragedy that would forever change their lives, and eventually become one of the most famous alleged cases of reincarnation in modern history. In 1957, two young sisters, Joanna and Jacqueline Pollock, were killed in a car accident while walking to church with a friend. Their parents, devastated by the loss, tried to rebuild their lives while carrying unimaginable grief. But about a year later, something extraordinary happened. Their mother gave birth to twin girls: Jennifer and Gillian. Almost immediately, their father became convinced that the twins were somehow the rebirth of the daughters he had lost. As the girls grew older, they began displaying strange similarities to their deceased sisters, including shared personality traits, specific fears, and even what appeared to be memories of places and events they had never experienced. One twin was even born with birthmarks that closely resembled scars that Jacqueline had before her death. The story would go on to attract the attention of researchers studying reincarnation, including psychiatrist Ian Stevenson, who documented cases of children claiming memories of past lives around the world. But the Pollock Sisters case raises a difficult question: were these eerie similarities evidence of something beyond our understanding… or could they be explained by grief, suggestion, and coincidence?
