Francis Willis (1718-1807), Physician Willis was a physician whose innovative success with the mentally ill led to him being summoned when George III first displayed symptoms of madness in 1788. While his treatment of the King included restraint in a straitjacket and raising blisters on his skin, Willis was kinder to his patients than was traditional. The King's recovery in 1789 made Willis famous and he had to open a second asylum to accommodate the numbers of patients seeking his help. O' Donoghue 4 Condition: Tipped to album page. |
