Rosemary Kennedy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I really do not believe that they would perform a lobotomy in 2012/13.
Especially after how the lobotomy done on Rosemary Kennedy turned out........

Nowadays they try "chemical restraints" which sometimes "unbalance" the patient even more.......sad to say.

Just saw on our morning news that since Hurricane Irene flooded our state mental hospital up in Waterbury, Vermont, doctors have been at their wit's end in trying to deal with all of the mental patients........and no place to put them. A few are being kept in various hospitals around the state.......but according to the doctors interviewed, it is a massive problem.

Citizens of Vermont have been wondering , for decades, why they let so many deranged folks roam around, when they obviously need close supervision........there just is no place to put them all, especially now, after the massive flooding.

We both just heard on the morning t.v. news that a "POSSIBLE MOTIVE" for Adam Lanza's rampage was that he either overheard or discovered that his mother was planning on incarcerating him in a mental institution..........heard that on ABC. Not cast in stone , so "don't shoot the messenger"........just what we heard.
