The introduction of chlorpromazine to North America.

I thought I should perhaps give some sort of a feel what things were like in the 1950s, just immediately preceding and immediately following the discovery and introduction of the psychotropic drugs. I was working at the Douglas Hospital in Montreal. It was a small hospital not small in the number of patients, we had some 1500 or 1600 but we had very few physicians and very few nurses, one registered nurse for 600 or 700 male patients; the others were all untrained personnel.
