The Lobotomist

I believe that although some of Walter Freeman's strategies were effective on patients, he still did many inhumane things and was a mad man. He would even perform surgeries on conscious patients with them feeling the pain, just so he could see there reaction. If you ask me, someone like that should be the one in the mental hospitals receiving a lobotomy. He got so arrogant and full of himself that he took it under his own command to perform lobotomies without having a surgeon's license or any permission to do it. It was true that he did help some people and his ideas were confirmed, but in the humane and moral sense of his experiments, they would make him a mad man. As he started his ice pick surgeries, he started to have more and more casualties which he didn't even feel remorse for. As one example in the movie stated, he was taking a picture of an ice pick in a man's eye and it fell too far down and killed him. He then proceeded to leave and not even pause for a second. It's pretty hard to respect a man like that. At least by the end, everyone began to realize how rediculous it was, and how the procedures didn't usually do much to the patients. The "Lobotomist" is basically a movie about a man named Walter Freeman who tries to make advances in the study of the human brain, by performing surgeries called lobotomies.
