Tools of the Trade We checked out the Glore Psychiatric Museum up in St. Joseph, MO while on my trip. The museum consists of a single hallway on four floors of what was once a state mental institution. There are various exhibits that are really more of a history of the hospital than the practice of pyschiatry itself. There were a few neat exhibits and a few righteously indignant patrons who couldn't believe that we as a society didn't always know what we now know about the human condition. The fact that doctors a hundred years ago used treatment techniques that could be considered appalling today was just too much for their modern day sensibilities. Here is a picture of a set of one of the more interesting tools. Click on the picture to see a bigger shot and to read the list of maladies that these were used for. I was surprised to learn that butt plugs could be an effective treatment for asthma. I guess if you use the big one, you just might gasp enough to really clear your airways. Whew!  |
