Lobotomy Survivors Novels & Stories

“Yes, you have been out for so long. We were starting to get worried.” “Doctor, she doesn't seem to remember what happened and she's demanding to know. So can you please repeat what you told me?” Matthew says. “As I told you before in simple terms, after looking at her brain scan, the lobe that keeps memory is severely damaged. And it looks like it had some damage before the recent accident. It’s a surprise she even remembers you. Most of the patients with similar cases always end up losing their entire memory.” The doctor looks at me. “I am so sorry, miss. We will do our best to help you recover, but I make no promises.”

Doctor Mathew said and Kabir turned his complete attention on Doctor Mathew and simply raised his eyebrow “Last month, I attended a webinar on brain functionality in London… where I also came across an article on patient awareness when in state of coma, there I also meet a renowned neurosurgeon Mr. Robin Witterman, he… he had very wide experience and knowledge in successfully surgeries to wake up patient who had been in coma… I.. I wanted to suggest you… that I think we should try him in this case as well…” Doctor Mathew said “I think he can help us to wake up…. Ms Chloe… also since she is orphan and you are the one who is paying for all her expenses, I thought of asking your permission befo

“But then, the second, unethical surgery happened. The quack who was operating on him damaged his frontal lobe, trying to cut off the Omega hormone production in the anterior pituitary gland. This made his brain unable to retrieve older memories, making him a blank slate.” I wet my lips, carefully thinking through the explanation. Old memories, new memories, memories of what happened to him on that fateful day… All of it was gone because of an errant scalpel stripping away his autonomy. “So,” I said. “You mean to tell me…that we might never know what happened to Revon just after he disappeared? Not even the nanobots can restore them?” We wouldn’t know who exactly decided that it was okay to

“We can go back and look at the CCTV footage. I am certain that he was lifeless when I carried him out of the car?” Capt. Bolton took a deep breath, ran his hand across his head, and stated, “The whole story is confusing. Dr. Robinson said he would never walk, and after twelve years in a wheelchair, he suddenly started walking.” When he mentioned Dr. Robinson, he remembered how he accepted to abort his baby and resolved to get back at Laura. “That is all I know about your son's accident, Captain.” He was lost in thought until Tim called his attention, “My boss will need me now. I can …”

In the rehabilitation center where Clovia was admitted, the doctors are giving her electric treatment often to help her recover. The frequency of the electric shocks to Clovia made her head feel hazy and heavy. She is taking a little longer to identify the objects she is looking at, and she even forgets about why she got there. It took her a good five minutes to remember everything. Leo, his marriage to Ida everything Clovia did to Ida, and how she was stuck in this torture chamber.

I knew it deep within me, but hearing it still felt like a punch to the gut. “I thought we got it all?” I asked immediately, without hesitation. “We did, Liam.” Dr. Ken looked at me with concerned eyes. “You had two good years, but sometimes… cells hide. Glioblastoma is persistent, and even after surgery, cells can mutate. There’s no way to predict it.” Listening to him felt like hearing a brewing coffee machine—it didn’t make sense. I had beaten the odds… at least, that’s what I thought. But now…

Then he sighed. "Okay, I will tell. Her case was too much. Your friend has a traumatic brain injury after the cause of her brain implant. Now she woke up, of course, that will happen to her. Leah Su will lose her memories. When days go by, I think she will remember it all. Don't worry she's going to be okay. Just trust her." The doctor said. Then he walked away. "This...What can we do now? We can't see our Lia anymore...ah... Leah is gone!" They cried out. The feelings and memories they made were gone.

Elli felt her surroundings go cold at the revelation. “Betty survived,” he added somberly. “But, given her age back then, I’m sure you can see what happened to her. Her eardrums were destroyed, and she has therapy until everything will be better. She’s one of the 5 to 20 percent who managed to survive.” “I’m sorry,” Elli could only say. Archibald shook his head at her.

"That is total anesthesia. If you tune everyone to a single frequency, you aren't fixing them. You are lobotomizing them. You are taking away the friction that makes them alive." "Friction causes pain, Mommy," Leo said, stepping up beside his sister. His eyes were glowing too, a matched set of violet beacons. "Toby and I saw it in the car. We saw the people in the cities. They are all broken. They are all dying in slow motion because their souls don't fit their skins."

he revealed, leaving me stunned. My suspicions were confirmed, but the lack of communication left me feeling abandoned. "I held onto hope, but the silence was deafening. Why didn't you reach out to me once you recovered?" I asked, sensing a sudden barrier between us. "Molly, it's been one step at a time, but since you asked, I'll share," he responded, his eyes reflecting pain. I was grateful that he was willing to open up to me, despite the lingering doubts from the past. “I suffered a traumatic brain injury after the accident," he revealed. To the best of my knowledge, approximately half of individuals with a TBI experience a decreased sex drive, while others may experience an increased lib
