The Lobotomist was about Walter Freeman who would take out a part of a person's brain.They thought lobotomy would help cure psychiatric patients. The people who had these surgeries done would have to be retaught everything they learned throughout life.
Back then the people thought Walter Freeman could cure people and thought lobotomy was a success. Later on, Freeman did a surgery on a woman which led to a disaster. She was permanently disabled. Doctors started to notice that the people who had lobotomy surgeries would act childlike. Now, doctors say lobotomy was one of the most barbaric mistakes of modern medicine.
