Episode 55 - The Waverly Hills Sanatorium

<p>By the dawn of the 19th century, consumption which is now known as tuberculosis had killed one in seven people.  Throughout much of the 1800s, tuberculosis patients looked for a cure in sanatoriums where it was believed that resting in a healthy environment would result in a cure.  But for many it wasn’t, and they never left.  </p> <p> </p> <p>For most patients, time spent in a sanatorium resulted in death in a time that no cure existed for this contagious disease.  Sometimes, that death came from the disease, but many times - it was due to the treatment they received.  </p> <p> </p> <p>Welcome to Episode 55...The Waverly Hills Sanatorium.</p> <p> We got merch!
