Episode 245: Lobotomist Horror

Lobotomists terrify us because they represent a chilling blend of medical authority and irreversible harm.

It's not just the brutality of the procedure that unsettles us, but the reminder of how easily science, when unchecked, can cross the line into something monstrous.
