Plenty of people would care if lobotomies were still done in state psychiatric hospitals. For one, litigation attorneys would be REALLY interested. Because giving someone a lobotomy in the USA these days is basically battery. A litigation attorney could make a killing off a lobotomy patient, especially if the patient had any family or friends left that halfway cared about their loved one.Also, civil rights attorneys would care A LOT. Such as the ACLU, civil rights legal activists have done a huge amount in the USA in the past several decades to dramatically tone down the severity and frequency of abuse that used to regularly go on in these psychiatric hospitals. Most of that work was done in the sixties, seventies and eighties.
It would definitely perk up some ears, including mine.
BTW, Im not digging you or anything, but having an "obsession" with lobotomies is kinda strange, to be honest. Even by severe mental illness standards. Perhaps you should stay on your Abilify????
take care,
