This episode was supposed to be completed today, but...I found some perfect source material that I could not exclude! As a result, the planned episode on the People of the New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum, Part 2, will come out next week and will feature the story of two doctors (one real doctor, one self-proclaimed doctor) who were patients at Trenton. You will NOT want to miss it!
