Dr. Xand van Tulleken returns with a new episode of “Dr Xand’s Con or Cure,” tackling the murky world of medical misinformation and consumer health. This time, he highlights a particularly heartless scam: those targeting the bereaved. Dr. Xand investigates how these fraudsters operate and provides viewers with practical advice to protect themselves and their families from these schemes.
But the episode isn’t all about cons. Dr. Xand also addresses a serious health concern affecting a significant number of women in the UK: the ongoing pain experienced by roughly 100,000 women after having a contraceptive device fitted. He explores the issue and offers guidance for those seeking relief and answers.
And finally, for those of us who can’t resist a good ear cleaning, Dr. Xand takes on the ubiquitous cotton bud. He explains why medical professionals advise against their use and what we should be doing instead. Hint: It involves leaving your ears alone.
Joined by Ashley John-Baptiste, Dr. Xand continues his mission to right the wrongs of ‘bad medicine’ and empower viewers with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their health. Tune in to BBC One on Wednesday, April 16th at 10:15 AM for this informative and timely episode of “Dr Xand’s Con or Cure.”
