Dr. Robert Patterson Was Given a Taste of His Own Medicine
The Christian Church Hospital, located in Kansas, was run by Dr. Robert Patterson. He ran the hospital for 30 years using the most primitive methods to “cure” the mentally ill. Patterson would put patients in cages, chain them to their beds, physically abuse them, or use the ice pick lobotomy method. Ironically, later in his life, Patterson went “insane” and the treatment given to him was the ice pick lobotomy.
