    My dad was in a car accident and in a coma for about 6 weeks. The things you described that Finnius had are very typical of a closed head injury. He cried a lot and he sometimes couldn’t control his temper. I was 6 when this happened. My dad was in the hospital and then extended care facility for two years. He had to learn to redo those day-to-day tasks. There were 6 of us kids…. My mom died in that accident. Us three littlest kids could not go see him for a long time, and when we were able to go see him, he looked at us and said, “Who are they?” He lost 10 years of his memory and we were born during that time. They had told us that my dad would be nothing more than a vegetable, but he proved them wrong. He eventually came home to us and was able to go back to work for the factory he worked for and he eventually retired. He was never the same person, but he was one of the most important people in my life. He taught me so much.

      Welll, this wasn’t a closed head injury which can cause much more diffuse brain damage. A penetrating head injury tends to cause more localized damage and have much more severe and immediate risk but not necessarily the wide range of symptoms, although it’s certainly possible to have some similarities, that are associated with a closed head injury.

      I had Brian surgery and lost the ability to talk, walk and feed myself and had to learn how to do everything again. Lost about 2-3 years of memories. Forgot I was divorced and a lot of important things. It was the hardest thing I did. Still having trouble with things but I am grateful for it could have been worse. 17% of my brain is gone with 3 surgeries.

    HUGE kudos to the man who saw Karla lying there bleeding and went out of his way to ensure she got medical care (instead of turning a blind eye like so many people do with such things), and MAJOR kudos, too, to the doctor who stood by her even after he realized what he was dealing with!

    My grandfather had a parasitic twin imbedded in his skull for years. He was born sometime in the very early 1900’s. He spent his first almost 40 years thinking everyone’s heads hurt, everyday all the time headaches were normal and everybody’s heads hurt. And then he had an accident resulting in the need for an X-ray. That caused him to need surgery and the cause of his headaches was determined to be his twin. They pulled out hair, teeth and other genetic material from the base of his skull. Crazy stuff!

      ​@BushidoNinja They weren't saying tumor removal was impossible, they were poking fun at the fact that Mr. Ballen referred to the doctor as a neurologist and not a neurosurgeon. They are two different medical specialties in most places. Neurologists treat disorders of the neurological systems of the body. Neurosurgeons treat disorders of the neurological parts of the body via surgery. The joke is that if a neurologist scrubs in to do brain surgery to remove a tumor then the person being operated on has poor chances because neurologists aren't trained to do operations like that

    I know all about Phineas Gage. I’ve had a brain tumor removed from my right frontal lobe with a lot of it being in my pre frontal cortex. Today when you have enough damage to one of your frontal lobes it’s called frontal lobe syndrome. I have this and there’s like there’s no filter between my brain and mouth. I have problems with impulse control, and I get extremely angry at stupid things. I also never used to be a crier but now I cry at everything. I do take medication for this and it basically keeps the lid on things unless I’m sick or something has upset really badly. This has been going on for almost 20 years for me and I can control things a bit better because I understand it so much. If I didn’t take my medication though it would be bad.

With you, I am so visually engrossed as well as so enveloped in your story telling that I have no reason to picture anything in my head or hear any thoughts.

    Omgggg how insane these stories are! The one about Claire with her twin in her skull I’ve never heard of in my life! That is so crazy! 😮 I love all of your stories you tell Mr. Ballen, you have the perfect storytelling voice, it’s so peaceful and calming, when anxiety gets too high I listen to your stories 😊 thank you for always bringing us the strange, dark, mysterious and unheard of ❤

    Yall the first story was like the one patient on greys anatomy in season 2 episode 17 that came in with a bazooka shell in his chest, and the doctors we’re terrified to operate but did and as soon as they removed the shell and handed it to the bomb squad it exploded and guy holding it blew up. That was a crazy episode! But im glad this real life story had a much better ending 😅
