Actually the doctors were intelligent. My father at 55 years old put 35000 volts through his arm and body while working on a commercial microwave. He felt nothing and saw a bright light. Got him to the hospital and he was all right. For the next two weeks he told the doctor that he felt great. Better than he had since being a young man. Chasing Mom all around the house. When he went in for his two week check-up he told the doctor this story and the doctor said that it would eventually go away and that is why back in the day doctors were giving people shock treatment. When they did it right the patient would feel wonderful but unfortunately only for a short while.

And, it still isn’t.

It’s hard to imagine that those ever so intelligent doctors used shock therapy. “Hey, do you think torture would help?”
