from Cthonicist · host Svetlovska
“After four decades Freeman had personally performed possibly as many as 4,000 lobotomy surgeries in 23 states, of which 2,500 used his ice-pick procedure, despite the fact that he had no formal surgical training. His patients often had to be retaught how to eat and use the bathroom. Relapses were common, some never recovered, and about 15% died from the procedure… Freeman usually wore neither gloves nor mask... He lobotomized 19 minors, including a four-year-old child.”
