The Lobotomist

Walter Freeman was a Lobotomist that was trying to cure people that were insane by shattering their frontal lobe.  He did successfully change the person so they could be released from mental facilities but they still could not live social lives or function properly.  Doctors opposed him but the public thought it was great and was helping society.  I think that Walter Freeman was trying to be a good doctor but only focused on the positives of lobotomy and not the bad.  He thought he was doing the right thing but the patients he operated on did not get any better than they were before the Lobotomy operations.  He had also killed a few patients and it did not phase him at all which tells me that he was crazy.  Because of his perspective on his work I think that he was a mad man trying to be a good doctor.
