SAKA: A mental patient stole a car and was involved in a 80 MPH police chase. After driving several miles at breakneck speed he chrashed into a wall. Then he was pulled from the wreckage he had substantial head injuries. Now doctors say that by a million to one chance the metal of the windscreen surround gave him an involuntary lobotomy, and the patient is now socile enough to be discharged from the mental hospital.

it's not the doctors who gave him a lobotomy, it was the car accident.

OK. How your story relates to modern western society is beyond me.
Seems to me all societies throughout history had mentally ill people, except maybe they didn't live as long as they would probably tend to get killed off quicker.

Your question doesn't seem to pertain to your "story". There is no way to make an intelligent or informed answer because I don't know what a prefrontal lobotomy has to do with a sick or healthy society!

That is pretty sick that doctors can get by with doing that to a human. A lobotomy is not a full proof answer. I feel bad for someone that has that done. He will never be the same. So how can he live a docile enough life? They don't even know that. Sad, thanks for sharing.

it makes you think of what we call normal is nothing but a soulless corpse.
