Today on Caustic Soda your hosts Kevin, Joe, and Toren are joined once again by Dr. Rob. We discuss the gruesome, horrible “treatments” from the past and present. Lobotomies, electro-convulsive therapy, beatings and trepanning — there’s a long history of disgusting, painful and dangerous methods and we cover them all!

This episode’s musical interlude is “Mairzy Doats” performed by Jo Stafford & The Pied Pipers
