Re: Lobotomy
The third pic wasn't an icepick lobotomy. I think there was something else going on there. Anybody hear of Howard Dully? I believe that's him in the last pic. His stepmother had talked his father into getting him a lobotomy. You can read his story here: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/s...toryId=5014080 It's pretty interesting stuff! Rosemary Kennedy, JFK's sister, was also one of Freeman's patients. The seventh picture looks a little bit more like an early ECT treatment, or maybe they were prepping him? Interesting post! Thanks! |

Re: Lobotomy
Jabbing an icepick into someone's eye socket and moving it "back and forth" isn't an exact science. The effects vary. Rosemary Kennedy was reduced to having the mentality of a child, while the person in the article that I posted is high functioning. I guess its comparable to just about any brain injury, there's different degrees of effect. |
