Looking back on this collection... I noticed how the smoke detector was wired. the norm in the US would have been to have run ugly conduit everywhere for these instead of taking the harder, but better route of wiring through the walls and ceilings.

Trackie, that is soooo wrong. Frontal lobotomies were done by drilling through skull in temple region to expose connective fibres between frontal loobes of brain. These were then surgically cut. The idea was that this reduced impulsive violent tendencies. It had the effect of 'cabbaging' the patient (like Jack Nicholson 'One flew ovet the Cuckoos Nest'. You could easily distinguish lobotomised patients by the deep skull depressions to the side of their heads.

ECT, electroconulsive therapy, or shock treatment involved a general anaesthetic, a paralysing agent (suxamethonium) and aftificial respiration. Patient was fully out before shock was administered. Mainly used for depression. Seemed dramatic and some opposed it, but I saw some good outcomes.
