I can't believe this used to be an actual medical procedure. It's horrifying.

An actual medical procedure that, at the time, husbands could authorize done to their wives without consent.
Fucking hell
And the inventor got a fucking price for this(he still has it)
Take care of it, because you’re screwed if it gets infected.
Not doing anything much by themselves after that one.
But that's where my tadpole goes
it's giving ghaik.
It concerns me how many young people I see posting on Tiktok's that mention lobotomy that they themselves want one.
The mental health care system in US, Aus and UK (the main demographics I encounter on social media) that people are joking about wanting to be lobotomised.
These comments will be on documentary clips that explain in detail the horrors of this procedure and the atrocities committed by the local governments and institutions at the time. But kids are still joking about it.
I mean, people joke about the Holocaust, people joke about 9/11 and slavery etc. Why is this any more concerning?
A good friend of mine always says "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me, than a frontal lobotomy."
You are friends with Tom Waits?
Maybe he already had a frontal lobotomy
