It was commonly known in the nintheenth century to analyze the brain very anatomical, the brain functions and actions were all treated the same way and if it were to me i believe that although they committed huge attroccitites with the proccess of the lobotomy i believe that the only way we could have improved to what we are today in science and in psychollogy was by creating these horrendous action. THE LOBOTOMY: was first thought of through the german friederich golz while doing an experiment about the functions of the brain and how through the removal of the temporal lobe dogs behavior changes sustantially becoming much more calmed. This inspired Gottlieb a swiss physician to remove the cortex of these very impatient patients teo of the patients died and others changed continually, they still dont know the actual causes. But the other influence for Dr freeman whos desire to be one of the most remarkable and life changing doctor, who had the power to change and make people and especially himself believe that the procedure he was doing was the absolute best, and that he was being such a great person he was inspired when he read a book about the portugese doctor Antonio that was making lobotomies and finally was inspired to create his own legacy in the medical world. WALTER FREEMAN physician and clinical neurologist teamed up with James Watt to produce the first lobotomies to American patients. They first operate in Septemeber 1936 he was convinced that the results were working. He try to "HELP" asylums with crazy people to "calm them" "he used a common tool to break ice which could be inserted local anesthesia by tapping it with a hammer, the ice pick would perforate the skin subcutaneos tissue, bone and meninges in a single plung and then freeman would swing it severly the prefontal lobe, this took no more than minutes with no need to intern the patient into a hospital" Watts was concerned with the whole situation and broke ties. Some ethical considerations arose and obviously scientific results were impossible to findm they had obviously not found the solution to many problems and no positive feedback was gained. this was a procedure that literally damaged the brain irreversably and so the lobotomies were forever stopped the end!
