Here are some of the procedures the patients had to endure, before Dorothea halted them.
The electroconvulsive treatment (shock therapy) - This procedure is when a brief electrical current is sent through the brain.
Lobotomy - This was used to "calm" violent patients. The doctors were to cut the nerves from the frontal lobe of the brain to the inner brain. Many died, or left paralyzed. This procedure is forbidden, but it is documented that it still may occur illegally around the world.
