I will remind the gentle reader that the originator of the lobotomy was awarded a Nobel Prize for this.
From Wikipedia:
"The originator of the procedure, Portuguese neurologist António Egas Moniz, shared the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine of 1949 for the "discovery of the therapeutic value of leucotomy in certain psychoses", although the awarding of the prize has been subject to controversy."
