Unjust Desserts: Illness vs Ill-Will in 1920's New York City

Poor Historians: Misadventures in Medical History

This is a historic episode. We'd like to welcome the newest addition to the Poor Historians Podcast crew, the exceptionally talented and enthusiastic new medical history intern, Alba! This is her first episode on the show and we're stoked to have her along on our misadventures.
Here we have another mystery case. Aaron will take us through a harrowing recount of the mysterious malady that befell a group of people from a NYC office building. We'll learn about early forensic medicine along the way. This is a case with more than a few twists and turns. Enjoy!
Many thanks to Gina for this week's trivia question submission. Find out if she stumped Mike and won her very own eponym!
