You mean the people who came up with lobotomies (Egas Monitz got the Nobel Prize in Medicine & Physiology for that, based upon the informal report of a monkey who got his frontal lobes cut out). He performed this mutilation on colicky babies and surgeons. There was even a mobile van for this. Vratislav Von Meduna thought epileptics couldn't get schizophrenia (wrong!), so he sought to make schizophrenics have seizures. Thus, came about ECT (which is very effective for depression). Physicians persisted in treating tabes dorsalis (tertiary syphilis) by infecting patients with vivax malaria even AFTER the advent of penecillin.
