In the 1950's in West Virginia, Dr. Walter Freeman and the West Virgina State Board of Control, enacted the West Virginia Lobotomy Project to help deal with overcrowding of asylums in the state. The project was not really considered a success, find out more about it in this week's episode. As always, thanks for listening.
