      Small procedure involving a ball peen hammer and metal spike applied to the back of the eye socket we would recognize today as a lobotomy.

      Maybe. I don’t know shit about it.

        I don’t think they had lobotomies yet at the time. But might have been something in that vein.

          I think trepanning would be the closest thing, drilling a hole in the skull to relieve pressure/let evil spirits escape.
