The Lobotomist

By 1945, at the end of Freeman and Watts's collaboration, around 150 lobotomies were being performed annually nationwide. In 1946, Walter Freeman introduced his revolutionary transorbital lobotomy technique and started teaching it to surgeons and non-surgeons all around this glorious land. Eunice Kennedy would eventually create the Special Olympics in honor of Rosemary. She spent the rest of her life completely dependent on a small handful of caretakers until her father's stroke.
