Imagine being told the cure for your mental illness was to have your teeth—or even your organs—removed. For patients of Dr. Henry Aloysius Cotton from 1917 to 1930, this was their horrifying reality.
Dr. Cotton believed that mental illness was caused by infections lurking in the body, and his solution was as shocking as it was dangerous: total removal of the "infected" areas. Teeth? Gone. Tonsils? Gone. Organs? Nothing was off-limits.
Celebrated by the public and even some medical professionals, Dr. Cotton thrived on the admiration and unchecked power he wielded. But behind closed doors, his methods were brutal, unproven, and left countless patients in misery.
This chilling historical scandal reveals how one man’s twisted medical theories were allowed to run rampant, leaving behind a legacy of trauma and tragedy.
And yes, this infamous figure even made an appearance in HBO's Boardwalk Empire, but the true story is far darker.
Dive into the shocking practices of Dr. Henry Cotton, where medicine met madness, and discover why his name lives on in infamy.
