"The Lobotomist"

Dr. Walter Freeman was one of the most important doctors at this time in the United States. His father and grandfather were great doctor which participated in many discoveries over the time. He was the president of the "Assossiation of Neuropathologist". Dr. Freeman participated in 2,500 lobotomist all over the United States. His original mayor was neurologist, over the times he worked with many other surgeons to learn more about making an succesful operation. His first lobotomist operation was performed in 1936, he made this frontal lobotomist operation with his partner Dr. Watts, they were the first ones to produce this operation. His first frontal lobotomist was a bit unsuccessful, so he adopted the Amarro Fiamberti lobotomy from the transversal way. He used ice pick that were hammered into the frontal lobe throught the upper part of the eye that goes directly into the frontal lobe. Dr. Freeman was able to perform this experient in a low range of time, this helpes the people make a better recuperation. Freeman invented the orbitoclast, which he got the idea from leusotome that was already invented for lobotomy. Freeman had his "Lobomovile" which was his car were he performed the test to demonstrate to other doctor how the lobotomy process worked. This process was insane, this was said by several doctors. This was something that was crazy at this time but people now started to see that it worked, even thought that the process was to insane it gave good results. This was tested that the people that received a frontal lobe lobotomist were cured for the specific type of problem, but later on this process would have second reaction, that will affect other things. This problem was made by a psychologist research over the past years. The frontal lobe lobotomist was then modified over the years, many of this surgical where made to many people, Walter Freeman achieved to make 2,500 operation, most of them were a success at the first month, but then they appear to be some problems later on. People that were affected with this frontal lobe operations then received many other type of operation to try to help the affects on the first operation made by Walter Freeman. Dr. Walter Freeman changed over the years this frontal lobe, it all started opening the upper part of the head, but it was to risky and the medicine was not as advance as it is in this moment, so he made this operation throught the frontal lobe, into the upper part of the eye. After the people started realizing that this was a dangerous process, they prohibit for a period of time, until know this operation is still used but in rare ocassion, only when the people really need, now the most common of the operation for the mental health disorder is the electric shock wave. What people now ask themselves is why he didn't used the ethics guide lines and thought a little bit more in consideration for the patients health. This was an extremelly dangerous operation.
