In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest , lobotomy plays a central role,… In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, lobotomy plays a central role, looming heavily over the men in the ward. But what is a lobotomy, and how/why was it used as a legitimate medical procedure? In the documentary below, The Lobotomist, these questions are answered. This can be visually graphic and disturbing at times, so please keep that in mind as you watch. You will need to watch the documentary as a succession of several episodes from the PBS website. After watching the documentary, please construct a minimum of a 500 word response to what you have just witnessed. This can be a creative work, an extensive summary, a comparison of lobotomy in the documentary to how it is portrayed in One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.  http://www.shoppbs.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/lobotomist/program/   Arts & Humanities English English Literature ENGL 1600 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
