Original Title: TIL in 1874, Mary Rafferty came to Dr. Roberts Bartholow at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati for a lesion. The lesion was diagnosed as cancerous and surgery was attempted. Bartholow saw her lesion as terminal so decided to experiment on her exposed brain. He was condemned by his peers for this.
