Lobotomist Reactions

Was Walter Freeman a "genius" or a "mad man" in his treatment of the mentally ill? Explain your thoughts on Freeman's lobotomies with specific case details and your impressions.

I believe that Walter Freeman was a genius and a mad man at the same time because you have to be really smart to think of something like that, but at the same he is kind of crazy of doing something like that to an actual brain. It may have treated the mental disorder but I'm pretty sure it was not right and it wouldn't of helped that disorder go away but it could made the patient think differently. I think its a very dangerous procedure and shouldn't of been done. So all in all, I believe that Wale Freeman was a mad man.
