I'm reading an autobiography called "
My Lobotomy". It's fascinating. This 12 year old kid's psycho abusive stepmother basically told any lie she had to to make sure that the icepick-lobotomy happened, because she thought it would make him easier to control.
Comes complete with freaky photos that the doctor (the infamous Dr. Freeman, who spread the doctrine of the icepick lobotomy far and wide) snapped during the surgery to show off:
