General Paralysis of the Insane

General Paralysis of the Insane

Welcome to Beyond the Knife– where history and medicine collide.


In this episode, we’re joined by author and Neuropsychologist Andy Ellis.


Andy explores General Paralysis of the Insane, a devastating neurological condition that once baffled the medical world. Through the case of Sir Randolph Churchill, he examines not only its impact on the brain and behavior, but also the social conditions and attitudes that shaped how the disease was understood and treated.


This episode is hosted by Chanté St Clair Inglis Director of Heritage and Estates at the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.


Produced by Jordanna Kielty-O'Neill and Keshena Goldie for Surgeons Hall Museums, Library and Archives.


Edited by John Kielty
