On this day in history.... prefrontal lobotomy

[Guest guest]

..

 

This is certainly NOT something to celebrate as

a "medical triumph", ie.,a breakthrough bonanza.

 

Makes you wonder about this "duo's" twisted

self-promotion agenda that they are basking in.

 

Another example of extremes for acknowledgment

and recognition....... perhaps???

 

>>> "Sep 14 1956Surgeons Walter Freeman and Egas Moniz

perform America's first prefrontal lobotomy

on a depressed, 63-year-old Kansas woman in

Washington, D.C. They successfully create a

lethargic dullard, and the duo hails the result

for years to come as a medical triumph, despite

the fact that two of their next twenty lobotomy

subjects end as fatalities." <<<<
