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.
