Rosemary Kennedy.
Welp.
That was quite the read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosemary_Kennedy#Lobotomy
Salute to you for reading through it all.
I don’t particularly enjoy sharing that horror story, but life is life, and I feel like we must not let that happen again.
Too bad being a compulsive thinker was the opposite reason why her dad got her lobotomized.
Are you… implying something there?
No just speaking the facts, I never met Rose Kennedy in person but her father seemed to think that she was a bit mentally slower than the rest of the Kennedy kids and he thought a lobotomy would help her become more genius like the rest of the Kennedy kids, but obviously it didn’t work.
Yah, that’s the straight story as I understand it.
I’m no expert, but from what I understand, Rosemary was probably just a bit different, like in being somewhat ‘on the spectrum’ or having ADHD, or whatnot. Something which wouldn’t necessarily impede her in life as a fully-realised human being, if her underlying difference could have been understand and respected.
But… of course, that was all pretty much mumbo-jumbo back when she lived. Joe Kennedy might have been a complete bastard, or someone acting in good faith, or some combo of the two. Like I say, I’m no expert!
I never met Rose Kennedy in person
That’s… something I wasn’t expecting to read. Is there a backstory there?
Is there a backstory there?
LOL, no need to read between the lines, I simply have never met Rose Kennedy, just like most people have never met Rose Kennedy.
If compulsive eaters can reduce weight by Sleeve gastrectomy, the same must also be true for compulsive thinkers and their brains.
The tool they use to make the staples on the sleeve is the coolest tool. It cuts and staples and cauterizes all at the same time.
Also known as the “Rush Limbaugh”, may he rest in piss
Comes with a side of anti vaxxer.
