All Bones Considered #065 - Part 2
Thomas Kirkbride trained as a surgeon but developed an interest in madness during his training. His blueprint for asylums became the standard for nearly a century.
This is one of four people I talk about in All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #65 - Fathers and Mothers of American Medicine, Part 4. You will find many other stories about Philadelphia medical pioneers in Parts 1, 2, and 3.
