A history-of-medicine project presents long-form stories about medical and mental-health history, with an accompanying film for each featured story.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-05 issue.

For: Readers of medical and mental-health history
Worth noticing: The featured stories span Vermont in 1848, New York in 1887, and Vienna in 1917, each paired with a video link.

Field notes

The homepage gives each featured story a place and year, a six- or seven-minute reading estimate, and separate story and video links. Its examples include Phineas Gage’s life after his injury, Nellie Bly’s asylum reporting, and doctors’ use of malaria in 1917. The page identifies the project as historical education and says it is not personal medical advice.
