Just make a lobotomy mod loser.

Wow you really are insane, they should do an lobotomy on you so you are less insane, since you love it so much.

Also, I'm not going to take advice from a man who thinks trepidation doesn't work. It's one of the most proven, effective brain treatments to ever exist. It's done routinely.

Yes, trepidation CAN treat mental illness. When your brain swells and crowds in your skull, that can inhibit blood flow and damage the brain by the pressure. It can cause spinal fluid leaks and even death.

You know what that means? Brain damage. What does brain damage causes? Inhibition of cognitive funcion, INCLUDING MENTAL ILLNESS. Many, MANY mental illnesses can be caused by brain inflammation, swelling, or bleeding. For the same reason that removing a tumor can help restore a man's sanity (or cause madness), so too can stopping brain inflammation directly treat, and even cure, mental illness.

Every medical advance starts somewhee. We learned invaluable information from lobotomies that would go forward to be used in far, FAR more effective neural surgeries. The inventions used to perform lobotomies would go on to other brain surgery, and allow.

Moreover, it's not the behavior of a crook because a lobotomy does not exist to punish someone. You were not sentenced to a lobotomy. If you were irreconciably violent or suicidal, lobotomization ended those tendancies. It did what it was made to do.

Thankfully, science and time march on, and we have moved past such crude methods. They are no longer necessary.

I suggest that you think about the historical context and absence of other treatments before you call such a man a "crook." He was the first, and his procedure was primitive compared to what we have now. It's no longer needed.

Without lobotomy methods, we would not have learned how to get through the nose and sinuses (or through the eyes!) through the brain, which is used to remove things like tumors under the olfactory bulb. Both of these techniques were first explored by lobotomization, with the eyes being the easier entrance.

In fact, my ENT doctor was late because he dealt with an emergency with a patient who had a benign brain tumor growing underneath his frontal cortex, downwards. To access it, they were going to go through the nose and sinuses. Lobotomies were the first to go through the eyes and nose without opening the skull.

The lobotomy tool based on an ice pick is most famous, but that device was not actually used for long, because the Nobel laurate's system was safer. It used a plunger that pushed little wires forwards, like is done to seal internal hemmoroids by rubber bindings.

What I said was that the purpose of the lobotomy was to relieve suffering by making a person unable to understand THAT they are suffering. That is a statement of fact. That's what a lobotomy does. It is ablative and that is the POINT.

Third, get that chronological snob talk out of here. The man that invented the lobotomy was not a crook. He was a pioneer who earned the Nobel Prize of Medicine for his attempts to advance mental health, and his procedure did what it was meant to do, albeit in a crude and primitive way.

In the fifties, psychiatry had Ritalin and talk therapy, and that was it. Lobotomies were the first serious attempt to actually treat mental illness using surgery and, in the time, they were revolutionary. We did not always have the tools and treatments we had today.

We learned a lot from it, including that better treatments exist, rendering lobotomies unnecessary.
