Is Walter Freeman a good doctor or a "mad man?"


Walter Freeman made a surgical procedure called "The Lobotomist."  The lobotomist was a procedure where he would stick a picker into the back of your eye and scrap the brain with it like a windshield wiper.  Personallly I think he is a mad man, yes he did cure people of depression and the needing to hurt themselves, but the way he did it by ruining the brain was not a smart idea because he could hit the wrong place in the brain and not cure them, which did happen.  When he finally killed someone it sounds like he didn't really care that's why he packed up and went to his next meeting, that would really hurt someone's family if they found out that he didn't really care that the picker slipped and killed the person he was working on.  I don't think he knows how much he is risking other people's lives because he could kill the person or just not cure them or (with a very slim chance) he could cure them.  No one should have there head operated on because that could just ruin there life and the only time your head should be operated on is if your dead because otherwise you could damage there skills that they have or something important to them like memory.
