 by Flemming FunchTrepanation was quite popular in the middle ages, and even in pre-historic ages, as a supposed cure for an assortment of ailments. It is essentially that one drills a hole in somebody's head, or cuts out a triangular piece of their skull. Which there could be some legitimate use of, if your brain is swollen, for example. But nowadays there are people who advocate it as being good for somehow increasing your consciousness. So, read the story of this guy who thought it might be a good idea, and did the operation with the help of a couple of friends, a trip to a medical supply store, and some instructional videos. He survived alright, and was happy with it at first, but ended up concluding it probably wasn't such a good idea. Yeah, well, it probably wasn't. |
