S02E05 Whiplash

Abby is officially discharged from the Knick.
In front of an audience of medical men in the surgical theater, Thackery conducts a test on a patient, Sidney Carton. Using an electrode attached to a transformer, Thackery showcases how Carton’s body responds when electrical currents touch various parts of his brain. He then attaches the electrode to a rheoscope, which detects currents of brain activity. Thackery discloses to the audience that Carton is a morphine addict. A nurse proceeds to inject Sidney with morphine, and Thackery gently prods the brain with the electrode to discover the area that the drug stimulates. After a few tries, the rheoscope signals that Thackery has located the stimulated area—“X marks the spot.”
