The only confusion I had was between the Rosemary, Dr. Watts, and the Walter Freeman pages.
In rosemary's kennedy page, it states "Dr. Watts performed the surgery while Dr. Freeman supervised" (Clarify "supervised", did he perform anything on Rosemary?)
AND on the James Watts page it states, "Watts is known for carrying out the unfortunate lobotomy of Rosemary Kennedy under the supervision of Freeman." 
AND on the Walter Freeman page is states,"Freeman's most notorious operation was on the ill-fated Rosemary Kennedy, who was permanently incapacitated by a lobotomy at age 23. "

Can someone clarify, who operated on Rosemary Kennedy? Were Dr. Watts and Freeman both faulted? Or solely Dr. Watts?
