Thanks for another nice episode! Just one small remark: According to the wikipedia article on the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital (URL below), the practice of pulling teeth was not abandoned when Cotton died, but continued at least until 1960. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trenton_Psychiatric_Hospital The article references a book, that has its own wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madhouse:_A_Tragic_Tale_of_Megalomania_and_Modern_Medicine It seems to be a good starting point for anyone wishing to delve deeper into this.
