The Lobotomist
The lobotomist was about a doctor named Walter Freeman. Freeman was the doctor who invented the lobotomy, which is a procedure in where the frontal lobe is severed, in order to change the personality of people with mental illnesses. I believe that Walter Freeman was a good doctor, while his procedure was quite graphic, it was still used in order to help people - and usually they worked. While most patients were usually released from an asylum, they were almost always completely different. Most of the patients had to re-learn how to walk or move, and alot of them were much, much different in their personality. Freeman may have had a gruesome way of performing his surgery, but i think he meant well in what he was doing, and all in all i believe he was a good doctor.

All About Me
My name is Logan, I'm a pretty outgoing person and I like to have fun. In my free time i mostly like to hang out with friends or play video games, i also like to listen to music.
I'm a senior in high school and I am interested in going on to college, I'm not entirely sure where, but i would like to go somewhere in state, like Milwaukee or Stevens Point. I'm a pretty good student but I'm also really laid back and i really hope to make this school year one i can remember.
