My Lobotomy: Howard Dully's Journey (2005)
There&#x27;s a memoir Dully co-authored and published not too long after this article. There was also another article where, if memory serves me right, where he spoke about what it felt shortly after the lobotomy. Although I might be misremembering and it could also be another patient&#x27;s account. Regardless, it is horrific.<p>Another atrocity is the reason a Freeman colluded with a controlling and abusive step-mother to lobotomize her son.<p>&gt; According to Freeman&#x27;s notes, Lou Dully said she feared her stepson, whom she described as defiant and savage looking. &quot;He doesn&#x27;t react either to love or to punishment,&quot; the notes say of Howard Dully. &quot;He objects to going to bed but then sleeps well. He does a good deal of daydreaming and when asked about it he says &#x27;I don&#x27;t know.&#x27; He turns the room&#x27;s lights on when there is broad sunlight outside.&quot;<p>I cannot possibly imagine a physician being so incompetent. It really feels like he was the contrarian Ivermectin proponent of his time.
