 | | Awakenings, a 1990 fact-based film which tells the story of a doctor (played by Robin Williams) who in 1969 discovers beneficial effects of the then-new drug L-Dopa on patients who are comatose after surviving the 1917-1928 epidemic of encephalitis lethargica. | | | This is so in the event a doctor decides the patient would still present a danger to self or others that there is time to commence involuntary commitment procedures. | | | These centralized institutions were often linked with loose governmental bodies, though in general oversight was not high and quality consequently varied. |
