Synopsis
In the gripping episode The Kettler Method from the classic radio series Suspense, the story unfolds in a secluded asylum, besieged by a relentless storm that has raged for four days. Dr. Morrissey, the chief surgeon, is on edge as he watches the rain transform the landscape into a dismal reflection of his own growing anxiety. The atmosphere is thick with tension as he senses unrest among the patients, particularly one named Dr. Kettler, a once-prominent surgeon whose career was shattered by a tragic incident during a brain surgery. Kettler's mental state has deteriorated since the death of a young man named Benham, who died on the operating table while Kettler attempted to implement his controversial surgical technique known as the Kettler Method.
