Walter Freeman's Llobotomy Surgery

Many of Walter Freeman's patients were unable to walk away or really think after his ministrations, but this caused less of an issue than you might think. The bulk of his clientele were inmates at a psilence and the folks paying for surgeries didn't so much want those folks healed as they wanted them quieter. At Cherokee State Hospital in Iowa, he accidentally killed a patient when he stepped back to take a photo during the surgery and allowed the leukotome to sink deep into the patient's midbrain.
