During the Civil War, a Philadelphia hospital pioneered the treatment of diseases and wounds of the nerves. The most sophisticated and unpredictable therapy was electrotherapy. Electrical treatment of nerve injuries employed the first machines for diagnosis and therapy in American medicine. Explore the work of the founder of American neurology, Dr. S. Weir Mitchell, his wartime experimental electrical technology and the creation of a new medical discipline.
