"The old-time political doctor has practically disappeared
from these institutions. ...Among medical innovations may be mentioned
the employment of women physicians, trained nurses, resident or part-time
dentists; the installation of X-ray plants and laboratory equipment;
uniform system of examination and history writing; the introduction
of occupational therapy; the elimination of seclusion and restraint
except in patients who mutilate their persons; and the addition of
consulting staffs to the hospitals."
Superintendent M.O. Biggs, 1923
