And later on, it would become the American with Disabilities Act. Rosemary never recovered to her vibrant self that she was before the lobotomy and lived to be the age of 86. She died in 2005. Institutionalized now, lobotomies are no longer performed. However, they're not illegal in the US. Dr. Walter Freeman performed his last lobotomy in 1967, and that patient died.

Salmonella. And what are the things that we're doing to continue to treat people like this? And now in the thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions or even billions of people like she was treated

Hi. Pretty much lobotomies are not done anymore. However, the new lobotomy, I really do believe, is the over prescribing of medications in America, much less so in other countries. There's a sign outside of a doctor's office
