Very interesting PBS series, but even more fascinating is the book they based it on, called "The Lobotomist" by Jack El-Hai. A must-read if you're interested in old Wally and his work. It is both moving, sad and gives a fairly balanced view of who Freeman was, as a person and a doctor, and what drove him. Many patients wrote to him for decades after their operation expressing their appreciation to him, which I found surprising.
