Real doctor recommending penectomy for insanity

[SplitDik (imported)]

I have a PDF document with illustrations apparently from 1886 lecture from a "doctor" at the New York Insane Asylum. It claims over 400 experiments with penectomy to cure masturbation, with the best results from removing the glans. They use a penis guillotine with "anesthetic is not required; the operation being done quickly".

Is there any way to upload this document to the EA?

Holy crap, I hope so. There's nothing I like better than old medical stuff. I could spend hours at our local hospital looking at a display of old medical tools, papers and quart jugs of Morphine Sulfate Toothache Drops.

Wow, I can't wait to see the article.

That is definitely an article I would love to read. Personal;ly, I would think it would bleed as much to just remove the glans as it would to remove the whole thing.

Amazing how dead threads get resurrected.

You may want to look at the beginning of threads before responding... you'd realize this one is nearly 5 years old now.

Yeah, this is an old one.

And I never did get that PDF file...

Well, I really can't think of a better way to cause insanity than involuntary penectomy.

That would have been a great read

What was the name of the "New York Insane Asylum"?

Wasn't it Bedlam or something?
