This episode is an odd and awful look at the world of medicine in the 18th Century. Because there were no ways to secure deceased bodies for scientific study and research, med students at Columbia College and New York Hospital went to cemeteries and robbed the graves of the poor, immigrants, and free and enslaved African Americans. The result of these heinous acts? A two day riot that saw New Yorkers rage against the school, hospital, students, and doctors.
