A PATIENT ASKED ME THE OTHER DAY WHAT A LOBOTOMY WAS. I TOLD HIM IT'S WHERE THEY SEVER NERVES IN THE PART OF THE BRAIN THAT CONTROL HIGHER FUNCTIONS LIKE SPEECH, THOUGHT AND REASONING, THE ABILITY TO DO THINGS ON YOUR OWN. THE MAIN LONG-TERM EFFECT WAS MENTAL DULLNESS. I SAID THEY BASICALLY TURN YOU INTO JOE BIDEN.
