In between housework and laundry, I'm dubbing off PBS's eight part
The Great War and the Shaping of the 20th Century. I'm presently on part 5, which talks about the soldiers who came home with physical and psychological injuries. How cavalierly doctors tossed about electroshock therapy in those days! The first part talked about the Kaiser having electroshock treatments for his withered arm while wearing a metal collar and now the treatment returns for those "shell-shocked" soldiers returning with the grime and slaughter of war scoured into their brains. So very sad.
