This surgeon performed lobotomies with an icepick! 🫣

The Icepick Surgeon was the nickname given to Walter Freeman, a neurologist who pioneered the lobotomy procedure in the 20th century. He earned this nickname due to his unorthodox method of performing lobotomies using an icepick-like instrument inserted through the eye sockets. Freeman's procedures were controversial and often resulted in severe consequences for patients, leading to significant ethical debates about the use of lobotomies in psychiatry.
