Walter Freeman ‘the father of the lobotomy’, performing an operation by hammering an ice pick into the brain via the eye socket. (Note the audience and lack of PPE). ca.1950s. (892 x 687).
PPE is what you’re taking offence with? Really dude? Could you be any more obvious?

It looks like they are holding the patient down…..like there may be no analgesic used?

Walter Freeman had a 14% fatality rate with his procedure. He did the procedure thousands of times, killing hundreds of people. PPE wasn’t a common practice then, but sterilization was and he regularly refused sterilization procedures.
Reminds me of the scene in Young Frankenstein when Dr. Frankenstein clips the nerve cluster
