Did anyone see The Lobotomist? Any reactions?

Yes, I watched it last night. I can understand firstly how Dr. Freeman was shocked and appalled at the treatment in the psychwards and how he wanted to help change things for those that didn't have a voice. But it seems he let his ego get the better of the situation and thus turned a blind eye to the horrible side effects. (sound familiar-- with some psychmeds?????)

Human arrogance leads to the ruin of many good intentions. (IMO)

This is a good lesson for everyone, don't take a doctors opinion as absolute-- just because they have a degree doesn't make them infallible. The clinical psychologist I'd seen for three years would NOT admit to being in error -- and he WAS a few times--- that caused me to not trust him anymore.

It's kind of sad that his(Dr. Freeman- doing lobotomies) first intentions of helping, didn't really come to fruition-- but what's even more the travesty is how he continued to literally drive around the country(in his aging years) searching for the people that he so believed to have made their lives better-- and then he died, not finding what he convinced himself to be out there somewhere-- he surely helped many-- didn't he? .........................
