OH. MY. GOD. I cannot be more horrified at what I just read. A neurologist's "easier" version of a lobotomy called the "ice-pick" method. Doctors, seriously doctors, used this method on people. It goes like this: "stupefying patients with rounds of electroshock therapy and then inserting a surgical instrument through the eye socket" and, Lord, help me, "swish, swish, swish, scrambled the structure of the brain."

Disturbing, but we already knew that about mental hospitals.
