Talk:Howard Dully

"Victims"
I decided to change "victim" to "recipient". Though the lobotomy was almost certainly negative in his case, and the modern consensus is that it's an immoral procedure... it's still POV. This was not always the consensus in the medical community, and some still considered helpful by some in extreme cases. Point is, (near-)factual or not in his case, the term "victim" as used is POV. The rest of the article explains why it was obviously bad. --MQDuck 03:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Participation on documentary "Blood and Guts: A History of Surgery"
Howard Dully took part in an episode of the the above named documentary. He underwent an MRI scan, which was stated to be the first MRI scan of a recipient of a lobotomy. The episode aired on BBC4 on August 20th 2008. A review of the program can be found here:. and the episode can be viewed using the BBC iPlayer. I am looking for a proper source article to include this information in the article. If anyone has it perhaps they'd add it, I think it's very interested and worth mentioning.

 * You don't have to have a print source to include it; the show itself is a source. You can use Cite episode for it. (Easily accessible sources are preferred, but sometimes sources aren't available online!) I'm not familiar with the BBC iPlayer, but if there's a link to it and it's all copyright legal, sounds like a good inclusion. :) Dully does talk about the MRI in the US paperback version of the book. I've just finished it. If you want to add what you know to the bio section, I'd be happy to flesh it out with what he said there. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:09, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Italics
Why does the title of this page appear in italics in my browser? --Killing Vector (talk) 13:02, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not just your browser. That was Infobox book inserting a tag to change its appearance. That's appropriate if the template is used on an article about the book that the infobox describes, but not here, so I've turned it off. Hairy Dude (talk) 00:57, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
