Episode Details

Kicking off 2026 with a very special vintage tale! This is a story originally told by my grandfather to my father 70+ years ago, bringing old Madras back to life.

We travel back in time to meet the legendary Dr. Rangachari, a medical genius known for his miraculous cures. In this episode, we recount the unbelievable case of a patient with a year-long headache. The diagnosis? Shocking. The cure? A bowl of water, a pinching sound, and... a frog?

Tune in to hear how the Doctor performed this miracle, why he refused payment, and the incredible gift a car made of elephant tusk that the grateful patient returned with. A true blend of medical history and folklore on Kadhaineram.
