Ep 41 The Schizophrenia: A Tale of Lexicography, Madness & Mixology
In this episode of the Medical Media Mixer Podcast, we shake up history, psychology, and mixology with our featured drink—the Schizophrenia cocktail. Inspired by the movie and book, The Professor and The Madman, the incredible true story of Dr. William Chester Minor and the creation of the Oxford English Dictionary, we explore the fine line between genius and madness, the impact of schizophrenia on creativity, and how the media portrays mental illness. Sip along as we uncover how a troubled surgeon behind asylum walls helped shape one of the greatest works in the English language.
