From 1936 to 1980 the frontal lobotomy was prescribed by doctors as the "treatment" to cure emotional issues like depression and other psychological disorders. This radical surgical procedure was made popular primarily by the media who made "heroes" and media stars of the doctors who performed over 40,000 frontal lobotomies.
In hindsight the procedure turned people who were normal (described as moody) like Rosemary Kennedy, sister of President John F. Kennedy, into a vegetable unable to talk like she once did. Words were just unintelligible babble. The procedure was made popular on the front pages of newspapers from coast to coast, which refused to tell the complete story, that the surgical procedure was damaging lives and reducing people to nothing more than idiots, the surgical consequence of surgeons salivating to raise their cache in the experimental surgical world, at the expense of good people.
The media is at it again with its politically correct, never tell the truth TV news policy. The rising consequences of destroyed lives at the hand of the surgeon's knife continues every day. The media is silent but I'm not.
Today a procedure is prescribed as "treatment" that calls for slicing off the male genitalia and then the surgeon pronounces he has made a "female" as if it just jumped from the womb. Then the TV shows parade the men with no "snoopy" wearing a dress in front of millions lending their media credibility to this masquerade of a woman. Who is dumber, us for allowing such a lie to become so acceptable or the now male in a dress with no genitalia?
Actually it is the lawmakers, for not insisting on "objective" proof that a gender change was made by the doctor.
