I think he's the doctor my doctor knew. The book is called "Trauma One: [something]"
Yeah, I think it's interesting, too. When you google it there is lots but the book is fairly recent so the lots are lots of teasing.
No problem about the lobotomy/lobectomy thing. I didn't know about Rosemary anyway. The Kennedys really have had their share of misery.
I think poor Rosemary is like Typhoid Mary. An epidemic leads back to her, by that I mean the homeless and the drug abuse that began in the 60's. Rosemary's illness caused the Kennedy family to have experience with eminent psychiatrists and influential psychiatrists gained access to the power of the Kennedy family. JFK signed the law that released the mild to moderately mentally ill from mental hospitals. It was the Community Mental Health Centers Act of 1963. It was supposed to provide for community clinic, out-patient care of those not so ill they had to be committed. It was not funded.
It was the good intentions that paved the road to hell that has, and still plagues us with the homeless and drug abuse. With the Baby Boom generation entering their 20's in the mid Sixties, it was the wrong thing to do. Mental illness tends to manifest itself most overtly in ones 20's. We should have built more mental hospitals, not closed them. The Democrats pinned the blame on Reagan, but the homeless people out on the street that are talking into space are JFK/LBJ's legacy. The tragedy of the Sixties is larger, much larger, than just JFK's assassination and the Vietnam War.
