One of the biggest and most horrendous medical scandals of the early to mid-20th century was the medical procedure known as the lobotomy.
The lobotomy has been totally discredited and debunked in the very worst, mad and insane, medical experiment and Nazi “Dr Mengele” kind of way.
The lobotomy was performed to “treat” epilepsy and depression and psychiatric disorders and involved severing nerves in and around the brain.
In some countries it was regarded as mainstream medicine with one of the best-known cases being the lobotomy performed on Rosemary Kennedy, sister of JFK in 1941 which left her totally incapacitated and institutionalized for the rest of her life.
Here we are 100 years on, supposedly in a more enlightened time and we have another medical butchery scandal known euphemistically as “gender affirming care” involving the prescribing of puberty blockers in phase1 and then phase 2, the cutting off of perfectly good body parts because of the mental illness known as transgenderism whereby a biological male thinks he’s a woman and vice versa.
Over time, the butchery that is “gender affirming care” will be regarded to be, to the early to mid 21st century, what the insane mainstream butchery of the lobotomy was to the early to mid-20th century.
