I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy
It's horrible to think of all the lives ruined by this procedure. Really distressing video. People were like husks of their former selves, like nobody was at home.
Isn't it possible to recover from a lobotomy? I heard it takes a long time though.

[QUOTE=Garik;38853249]How can you recover from having your brains scrambled.[/QUOTE] I just remember reading a few years ago that someone recovered from a lobotomy they had.
[QUOTE=a dumb bear;38844195]That's fucked up on a different scale. The late 40s and 50s sound like grim times.[/QUOTE] There have been plenty of dark and grim times in our history. Not just the last century, certainly not.
[QUOTE=Orkel;38849982]crazy fucker[/QUOTE] I thought the video said he did over 5,000? Nope, nvm. Bad reading.
[QUOTE=Garik;38853249]How can you recover from having your brains scrambled.[/QUOTE] Considering the fact that your brain is capable of rewiring itself in order to adopt to virtually any changes, I would not be surprised if it was also capable of rewiring itself to circumvent the damage of a lobotomy.

Not only because of things like this, but also because of the deeply rooted paranoia and fear in the population during the first years of the Cold War. It was pretty fucking bad.
[QUOTE=SpartanXC9;38853206]Isn't it possible to recover from a lobotomy? I heard it takes a long time though.[/QUOTE] Sort of. Howard Dully wrote a memoir about his life living with his lobotomy, but I think he needed some help writing it due to his disability.
After watching One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest i seriously have so many feels the moment i hear lobotomy

[QUOTE=BloodYScar;38850353]How exactly did it "work"? I mean, all those people that you can see in the aftermath video look totally nuts. Or tripping on something.[/QUOTE] Heh, I use the word "worked" more loosely then a whore after a million man march. To them maybe it "worked", but to us today and I think we can all agree, it did not.

Is there any videos of interviews with people who have had a lobotomy?
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;38848531][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94FuUEPkzrQ[/media] Related. Really depressing.[/QUOTE] Some kids threw together some "easy A" presentation in one of my classes in high school where they had 4 powerpoint slides on mental hospitals, and this video. One of my friends had a sister in the mental hospital and she started crying when they played the vid.
[QUOTE=Orkel;38849982]crazy fucker[/QUOTE] He seems like a perfect candidate for a lobotomy seeing as how he's a friggin psychopath
