This week, we talk about urology, the study of functions and disorders of the urinary system. Urology starts early on with lithotomies, or the removal of bladder stones, and then progresses to lithotrities, where the stones are crushed and washed out. We'll also talk about the origins of radiation therapy, which gets used for lots of urology-related cancers.
