LAMB - My friend and I saw the movie, “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.” Is it true that our mental institutions give operations on the brain as they show to make the patients more obedient? Also the shock treatments look so brutal. Why do they give shock treatments and are they as the movie shows them to be? My friend is from Czechoslovakia and said she wanted very much to see the movie because it is directed by one of her fellow coun trymen who was deported. Please, please comment on this as it is very disturbing to me to wonder about our own mental institutions and how and who runs them. DEAR READER — Movies and TV are very effective opi nion molders — even so-called objective newscasts. I can see the movie has had that effect on you. No, operations on the brain are not used to make patients more obedient. That is pure fiction and no doubt millions of viewers have been misled as you have been. Years ago an operation call ed the prefrontal leukotomy was done to cut large parts of the frontal lobes of the brain from the rest of the brain. This did modify behavior. A related operation is still done today involving about a cen timeter of the brain where personality is affected. Such an operation is only done in extreme situations where the patient is so uncomfortable with his anxiety-type reac tions that he is totally in capacitated. It is not done to control the patient’s behavior but to relieve him from dis comfort. The patient must give his consent if he is able to, and if he is not his nearest relative or those legally responsible must do so. It is nothing like depicted in the fAsk Dick Kleiner Props can be big problems By Dick Kleiner DEAR DICK: What happens with props, uniforms, etc., after they get done filming? Particularly, on the movie, “A Bridge Too Far.” I read that book twice. VINCENT FLORA JR., Audubon, Pa. Movies are a business and things like props and costumes are assets. If they’ve rented them, they simply return them. If they’ve bought them, they try to sell them. Big studios, of course, have prop and costume departments and everything goes back where it came from. ‘‘A Bridge Too Far,” the big World War II epic, had some special problems. They had to buy airplanes, but they plan to sell them. They’ll probably turn • a profit on the deal, since the planes were all brought up to 1977 standards. DEAR DICK: Please settle this question for us. I say Tisha Sterling is the daughter of Ann Sothern and Robert Sterling, and my husband says she is the daughter of Jan Sterling and Jan’s husband. Who are Tisha’s parents? JOYCE MARTINSON, Bakersfield, Ca. You’re right on the button. Tisha is the daughter of Robert Sterling and Ann Sothern. DEAR DICK: I would like some information about a word. This might sound silly to you but it sure has me puzzled. On Happy Days, they use it. They say, “Don’t be a nerd.” I would like to know what “nerd” means, so I won’t hurt anybody if I say that to them. JANET L. POGUE, Casstown, Ohio. Nerd is one of those nonsense words, that keep popping up to keep our American language vital. In my youth, the word was “goop.” It’s the same thing — goop, nerd, jerk, screwball. It means, basically, a person who is clumsy, silly, foolish, acts nerdishly. DEAR DICK: My cousins and I were discussing the $64,000 Question, so popular a few years back. Who was the master of ceremonies? LENA PRATT, Crescent, lowa. That was the late Hal March. DEAR DICK: Help! I read you all the time and you’ve helped so many and now I’m hoping you can help me. I was watching To Tell the Truth and one of the contestants had written a book on cats. All I got was her name — Carol Wilborn, I think. My book store lady said she can order it for me if I have the title. MRS. STEPHEN C. MUNSELL, Her miston, Ore. Sorry it took so long to get an answer to you. To Tell the Truth is shot in New York and I’m in Los Angeles. I wrote to them and didn’t hear anything, but finally got a letter from the author herself. She says, “My book is called ‘Cats Prefer It This Way.’ The publisher is Coward, McCann and Geoghegan. It’s in hardcover now — paperback next fall.” Her name is Carol Wilbourn and her stationery is shaped like a cat. by Dick Covalli movie. Electric shock treatments are used primarily to treat depressions. You may not be aware of how uncomfortable and unhappy a depressed patient can be — so depressed that he may be suicidal. Depression and manic depres sion can be very dangerous to the patient. Electric shock used properly can relieve such reactions and can be life sav ing. Shock therapy relieves the patient's suffering. That is what medicine is supposed to do whether it is a pill for pain ful arthritis or shock therapy for total despair and misery. Modern electric shock therapy is not brutal. The patient is given a muscle relaxant so that the muscles hardly move in response to the electric current. He is also given a sedative or anesthetic so he is almost unaware of the procedure. Untrained observers may not notice the mild convulsive like response it is so minimal. It would cer tainly not make a very dramatic movie scene. The results of such treatment in properly selected cases can be quite dramatic. New medicines to control or modify patient behavior are so effective that there would be no reason to use either sur gery or shock treatments for such purposes. So, a good movie from an entertainment point of view is not very good from a point of view of teaching the public anything about modern psychiatric treatment. Unfortunately many viewers will not separate entertaining fiction from reality. For a list of The Health Letters available write to Dr. Lamb in care of this newspaper, P.O.
