RT [@BrianRoemmele](https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1613571425595691008) 50,000 lobotomies were performed in the U.S., most from 1949-1952 using Walter Freeman II’s transorbital technique of hammering an ice pick into the corner of the eye socket and jiggling it with no anesthesia.
A “success†rate of 85%: 490 of 3500 Freeman’s patients died from it. https://t.co/2w2bPvc06b
