Podcasts about Lobotomy

We're talking about St. Elizabeths. As a lot of folks know, the campus of D.C.'s psychiatric hospital has transformed over the past 15 years. There's still a hospital, but a huge part of the former campus now holds a federal cabinet agency and another part is being redeveloped as stores and houses. NBC4's Mark Segraves recently gained access to a part that the new management really doesn't want to talk about — the site of some pretty ghastly surgeries and experiments from the time when St. Elizabeths was known as an insane asylum.  Want some more DC news?

You came back from parental leave a different person - more resilient, more decisive, less tolerant of nonsense, and more capable. The question isn't whether you can do your role. It's whether you will give yourself permission to show up as the upgraded version of yourself. This week on the Working Mumma Podcast, I chat with Rebecca Houghton, founder of Bold HR and author of More Impact, More Easily — a book that started as a guide for middle managers and turned out to be essential reading for every working mum navigating her way back after maternity leave.  Rebecca has over 20 years of experience in leadership, talent, and organisational transformation. In this episode, we go deep on what the return to work really involves, and why most women are doing it harder than they need to. In this episode we cover: Why returning to work after having a baby is actually one of the most powerful career resets you'll ever have, and how to use it consciously The two-part reset every working mum needs: one for your home system, one for your professional identity Why nobody does two jobs well and what has to change before you go back (hint: it's not just you) The worthiness vs capability confidence model and why your inner critic goes into overdrive when you return The difference between input and impact and why your boss is measuring you by a completely different currency than you think Why the "let it go" mindset shift is the single most important tool for working mums in their first year back How to have a conversation with your inner voice (yes, really) and why Rebecca named hers Desdemona   Episode resources and links  Connect with Rebecca on LinkedIn and check out her book "More Impact, More Easily" on boldhr.com Follow Working Mumma on Instagram @workingmummacommunity or LinkedIn

Would you dump a kind, beautiful doctor for skipping Pilates? Kat has thoughts. She’s feeling disappointed and disgusted. Amy is feeling confused about something and trying to practice patience while working through it.

Kat then drops a history lesson about the Kennedy family that will leave you speechless. Finally, Amy shares a breakdown of the 4 things that allegedly fix any relationship: 1 - More fun, less grievance. 2 - Fusing right hemispheres (meditation/prayer). 3 - The Oxytocin eye-contact rule. 4 - ABT: Always Be Touching.

In this episode, Asim, Amrita, and Sujoy revisit Kyun Ki — Priyadarshan's 2005 “romantic tragedy” starring Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and Om Puri — and try to figure out what on earth happened. Is this a misunderstood melodrama? A chaotic remake experiment? Or peak mid-2000s Bollywood madness? From mental asylum tropes and questionable Rorschach tests to lobotomies, disco flashbacks, and one very tragic swimming pool, we unpack the film's wild tonal swings and that infamous ending. Expect the usual Khandaan mix of nostalgia, sharp side-eyes, soundtrack detours (hello Kunal Ganjawala), and a deep dive into Salman's mid-2000s era — plus a comparison to the original Malayalam version that Asim heroically watched for research.

Join Alex in a solo episode as he explores the Scorsese psychological thriller Shutter Island (2010)! Starring Leonard DiCaprio as a troubled US Marshal, the film follows the Marshal's investigation into the disappearance of a patient at a psychiatric facility and prison for the criminally insane on a desolate, rocky island in the mid-1950s. However, beneath the surface, sinister forces lurk, and the episode delves into the mysteries surrounding the case. It explores the potential psychological and psychiatric diagnoses for the characters (whether it's schizophrenia or something else entirely). Additionally, the film sheds light on the state of psychiatric and psychological care during that era in the United States. As Leo's final line in the film suggests, sometimes, ignorance can truly be bliss!

A young woman institutionalized for disagreeing with her parents, a 12-year-old boy punished for daydreaming, even a Kennedy daughter silenced to protect her brother's political career – all lobotomized. These people and five others went into surgery as individuals with hopes, dreams, and personalities — and came out as complete strangers to themselves.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Show Open00:02:12.814 = The Man Who Could Make Dead Fish Talk00:08:48.284 = *** They Murdered Their Mothers00:21:37.851 = The Ghostly Handprint of Francis Leavy00:26:41.319 = *** Victims of Lobotomies00:37:09.950 = Listener submitted story from Michael Emmanuel Omokhuvie00:41:47.332 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakSOURCES and RESOURCES:“The Man Who Could Make Dead Fish Talk” by Sarah Murden for Georgian Era:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2nte76b6“The Ghostly Handprint of Francis Leavy” by Prince Petropia for Paranorms: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/53xwm2wd, and by Adam for Mysterious Chicago: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yxcvw3td“They Murdered Their Mothers” by Jessika M.

Born in 1976, hailing from Narrabeen on the northern beaches of Sydney, Oscar "Ozzie" Wright burst onto the scene in the mid-1990s and swiftly ascended to global surf fame—never in contests, but nearly always doing something imaginative, like flying through the air, doing spell-casting things with the tube, or surfing remote Indo in a pair of handcrafted bat wings.   Wright appeared in a number of Volcom-produced videos, among them BS!, Psychic Migrations, Lobotomy, and One Hundred and Fifty Six Tricks. A prolific maker of artwork in a variety of mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, ceramics, furniture, skate ramps, film, and video, Wright is also lead singer of the Goons of Doom, an experimental, piss-taking punk band. In this episode of Soundings, Wright sits down with host Jamie Brisick to talk about the differences between North and South Narrabeen, airs, childhood memories, the influence of grunge, dealing with criticism, style, unlocking the self through creativity, going on tour with his band, and finding fun in subpar waves. Produced by Jonathan Shifflett. Music by PazKa (Aska Matsumiya & Paz Lenchantin).

Frances Farmer and Britney Spears. Two women, decades apart, who found out exactly what happens when you're famous, female, and having a breakdown in public. Today, from Victorian asylums to Instagram comments, we're talking about how easy it is to brand a woman "hysterical" or "crazy". And what are the consequences? We explore the treatment of women once labelled difficult - from lobotomies, to hysterectomies and conservatorships and ask: have we really moved on from the days when the mentally ill were seen as entertainment?

Holmes allegedly killed as many as 200 people by luring visitors to his lair during the Chicago World's Fair in 1893. The 100 rooms of the house he built, were filled with trapdoors, gas chambers, staircases to nowhere, and a human-sized stove. But now, some historians say many of the gruesome stories about Doctor Holmes may be myth! (The Doctor And His Murder Castle) *** Michael Swango was an MD. He was a doctor. But the MD after his name could just as easily have represented “Master of Death”, or “Many Dead” - because there were. Up to sixty of his patients died by his own hands before he was stopped. (Doctor of Death) *** Dr. Buck Ruxton's brutal deeds earned the surgeon a grim nickname… the Savage Surgeon. (The Savage Surgeon) *** During his 26-year reign at the Trenton Psychiatric Hospital, Dr. Henry Cotton performed over 645 twisted operations in which he tried to "save" the mentally ill. (The Horrifying Cures of Dr. Cotton) *** Stubbins Ffirth was so determined to learn about Yellow Fever in the late 1700s that he purposely exposed himself to those who had it. But HOW he exposed himself is an utter nightmare and will curl your stomach. (The Insane Experiment of Stubbins Ffirth) *** Horrifying medical experiments on twins helped Nazis justify the Holocaust, and at the center of it was Dr. Josef Mengele. (The Nazi Angel of Death) *** We'll also look at a few other derailed doctors and nurses who had an unhealthy appetite for lobotomies, blisters, and the plague. (Doctors of Evil) *** Doctors killing or experimenting on patients isn't confined to human victims, some animal experiments were equally as gruesome or bizarre.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Step beyond the rusting gates of Michigan's infamous Eloise Asylum, where more than a century of pain and hope still echo through cracked corridors. Founded in 1839 as a poor farm and psychiatric hospital, Eloise ballooned to a 902-acre, 75-building city of the forgotten, housing over 8,000 patients at its peak. Lobotomies, experimental treatments, and packed wards left indelible scars on the living and, some say, on the very walls themselves. After the sweeping mental-health budget cuts of the 1980s shut Eloise's doors, the silence only amplified the voices that never left. Join us as former staff, historians, and paranormal investigators revisit a place where the lights went out—but the stories never did.

The inside story of the CIA's secret mind control project, MKULTRA, using never-before-seen testimony from the perpetrators themselves.Sidney Gottlieb was the CIA's most cunning chemist. As head of the infamous MKULTRA project, he oversaw an assortment of dangerous―even deadly―experiments. Among them: dosing unwitting strangers with mind-bending drugs, torturing mental patients through sensory deprivation, and steering the movements of animals via electrodes implanted into their brains. His goal was to develop methods of mind control that could turn someone into a real-life “Manchurian candidate.”In conjunction with MKULTRA, Gottlieb also plotted the assassination of foreign leaders and created spy gear for undercover agents. The details of his career, however, have long been shrouded in mystery. Upon retiring from the CIA in 1973, he tossed his files into an incinerator. As a result, much of what happened under MKULTRA was thought to be lost―until now.Historian John Lisle has uncovered dozens of depositions containing new information about MKULTRA, straight from the mouths of its perpetrators. For the first time, Gottlieb and his underlings divulge what they did, why they did it, how they got away with it, and much more. Additionally, Lisle highlights the dramatic story of MKULTRA's victims, from their terrible treatment to their dogged pursuit of justice.The consequences of MKULTRA still reverberate throughout American society. Project Mind Control is the definitive account of this most disturbing of chapters in CIA history. Joining me to discuss, PROJECT MIND CONTROL: Sidney Gotlieb, the CIA, and the Tragedy of MKULTRA-John Lisle

  We've all heard the sinister stories of mental healthcare's terrifying past. The Snake Pits, the cages, the overmedication, but nothing is cloaked in more mystery and dread than the ice pick lobotomy. Whether it's that terrifying scene in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest or the heartbreaking story of Rosemary Kennedy, we all can conjure up a horrifying image of this barbaric procedure with little effort. The Man in the white lab coat and cap, his sunglasses gleaming, ice pick in hand. The patients with black eyes and blood mottled tears. That's gold standard nightmare fuel, and it's hard to believe any of it was real, but it was. So how did the mental health care industry end up taking a dip in the darkest of places? Well, hang on because we're going to tell you. In this week's episode we explore the history of the lobotomy, begininning with mankind's earliest attempts to sooth a savage brain, and culminating in the story of the ice pick lobotomist himself, Walter Freeman Jr.  Click To Learn More     WWBD Merch Buy your WWBD swag here!  Join the Conversation
