Just to be clear, Cerebral Angiography is quite a different thing than a lobotomy.
Cerebral Angiography as a diagnostic procedure has helped millions of people and is still done today, thousands of times a day across this nation.
Lobotomy is ostensibly a theraputic procedure, and in certain people, is (or at least was) considered helpful.
Problem it, lobotomy was used in scenarios to simply quiet down troublesome patients, exact revenge on political prisoners, or to just punish people, which it did quite well by removing their humanity and rendering them incapable of meaningful interaction with other people, their environment, or even themselves.
I do believe that he received the Nobel Prize for his work with Cerebral Angiography, not prefrontal lobotomy. He deserves the Nobel Prize for cerebral angiography, and the Lobotomy-well...even with good intentions (as I have no doubt in the beginning he may have had) it was an ill-used procedure at best, and at worst, criminal inhumanity.
Thank you. I appreciate the clarification.
