In time for the Lightning rod, sorry about the joke but Ben has enough laurels without making exaggerated claims, like the sleeping habits of our First President. As if a career as a printer, man of letters, political type, and inventor were not enough. Hospitals may have been named in his honor, but Franklin was not in any sense a medical practitioner. Benjamin Rush, a contemporary, was and he was also a pre-freudian psychiatrist- No he did not found the Political asylum! sorry about the jokes but Old Ben did not establish hospitals. Libraries, yes, Fire Brigades, yes, but let us draw the lightining rod!
