The "ice pick" lobotomy
In the fall of 2005, I was listening to a documentary on NPR entitled "My Lobotomy." The documentary chronicled the efforts of Howard Dully to learn why, at age 12, he had been given a transorbital lobotomy in 1960.
Dully's story, and the story of the procedure itself, was not only shocking but also so moving that I had to pull my car to the side of the freeway to finish listening.
