This is a bonus episode which is the entire interview with retired attorney turned primary source historical author, Mr. Douglas Wamsley.  This interview was utilized for Episode 9 of "Let's Locums" entitled "The Worst Locum Tenens Experience in History".  This conversation delves into the life of Dr. Octave Pavy, a physician involved in the Greeley Expedition, which aimed to explore the Arctic. The discussion covers Pavy's early life, his aspirations for polar exploration, the dynamics between him and expedition leader Adolphus Greeley, and the challenges faced during the expedition, including survival, starvation, and the eventual allegations of cannibalism. The conversation highlights Pavy's medical skills, his complex personality, and the historical context of Arctic exploration in the 19th century.
