Poke Your Eye Out With a Sharp Stick. A Review of Doctor Ice Pick.

 

I read a lot of horror, but the most horrifying thing is what real people do to others. There's a reason Freeman was known as Dr. Ice Pick (though he wasn't actually a doctor.) He performed lobotomies by inserting an ice pick above his patients' (victims') tear ducts, then wiggles the ice pick around until he severed the frontal lobe. Some patients bled to death, some turned into shadows of their former selves, most became incontinent. And most, this is sad, never consented to the operation.

This is a nonfiction book. If you're interested in how awful someone can be to helpless people, check Doctor Ice Pick out.
