Lobotomy Results Reported by Freeman to Medical Society
Dr Walter Freeman outlined outcomes of transorbital lobotomies before the Athens County Medical Society noting 29 operations at Athens State Hospital yesterday.

Freeman is a former George Washington University professor now living in California.
