Silver fillings are an amalgam (silver, tin, copper, and mercruy blended) up to 50% of the mass of the filling is mercury.

@@whitemamba0089well hopefully you don’t encounter any bullies who lift you by the ankles and shake you down for lunch money, or the juices might start spilling out again.
I’ve watched all the episodes of “I survived” and many people who were stabbed in the head talk in great detail about how they felt every single grinding, scraping of the blade against their skull and how painfully awful it was. I cannot even begin to imagine being awake as my skull is carved into.
While it sounds brutal, the amazing part is it had a fairly decent survival rate, as there have been skulls found where they had undergone the procedure and the skull had been healing itself with new bone growth forming over the hole by the time the person died.
@@blitzhill9533 It probably takes a long time and you would have to keep the hole closed and clean but the odds of surviving it were decent, because assuming they didn't accidentally hit your brain while making the hole the only thing that could kill you would be infection.
I have an ancestor who came to the American colonies around 1700. His nickname later in life was "old silver head." There are 2 stories as to why he was called this. One is simply that he had a head full of white hair as an old man (He died in his 70's). The other is that as a young man he was involved in a fight with a native tribe and took a tomahawk to the skull. A silver plate was then put over the hole left by the tomahawk. According to at least one genealogy site I looked at, the two stories are fairly equally credible. Of course, there's no way to know which it was, but the idea of anyone surviving that kind of surgery in those days is amazing.
@@jessebeegeeThe Natives weren't any more civilized than the Brits. Conquest above feelings. Glad the Brits created the greatest civilization on Earth. It would've just been a land grab from the Japanese, Hispanics, and Africa. It would've been worse than what the Europeans did lol.
Hopefully, he is not suing for the injury. He was not wearing a helmet, and his eyesight has always been poor. The oaf. Luckily, brain surgeries in olden times often left people severely incapacitated and unable to think logically. Haha. Who would sue then? Back to manual labour, chap!
@@rex74t Yes they will. It's not lobotomy. This surgery, yes surgery, literally saved lives and people came back fine after it. Of course there were infections and whatnot sometimes depending on the surgical situation. But it's not like surgeries are without a fuck ton of risks today 😂
Considering for the time period, it is pretty clever to close off the hole with a silver coin due to the antibacterial properties of silver. If the man somehow didn't die of shock, he might just survive by not getting killed by an infection.
They still do something similar to this today. My Mum had a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2013, emergency brain surgery repaired it but she had fluid build up inside her head a few days later. The surgeon took her back to the OR and drilled a hole right above her forhead with a tube so the fluid could drain out.
My great-great-great grandfather was a soldier in the American Civil War when he was 15-16 years old. The family lore is that he got hit in the forehead, and the surgeon plugged the hole with a silver dollar. He lived a normal life afterwards, getting married and having children, and passing away in his 70s. I would imagine that the procedure used on him was similar to what was demonstrated here.
Interesting fact trepidation is one of the earliest surgeries done by humans ever calls of people even from before the bronze age with signs of trepidation and healing to the skull proving they survived at least for a while, long enough for bone to start to heal
They actually still do this today. I mean, they do it under anesthesia in a sterile operating room with better tools... 😂 But if you've had a brain injury that's caused your brain to swell, they'll remove a piece of your skill, allow time for everything to heal and go back down to normal size, then reattach that piece of skull. We don't use silver dollars anymore though. 😂❤😊
To provide you with a little re-assurance, operations in the head are the least painful. Some surgeries even have the patient awake with their senses to make sure that they respond correctly while the procedure is going on. However, I would be worried about the tools and the skill of the physician, because they might damage the brain itself or the infection that might ensue afterwards.
I had a surgery where they bolted something to my skull (obvs full anesthesia and pain mgt), when I tell you headaches and pressure I had for months was crazy. I cannot even imagine going through that back then with no anesthesia.
risky, but the alternative is waiting for your brain to swell and crush itself with fluid, leaving you to die after experiencing the most excruciating pressure headache you've ever felt
I included Trephination in my last video on the dark history of mental health and during my the reseach I found out the oldest trepanned skull we have is 7000 years old, and its a surprisingly successful kind of ancient surgery for bringing people back from the brink of death after a bad brain injury. People even used to perform it with sharpened flint, obsidian, or stone knives. Really interesting stuff!! Keep these videos coming, I love these. 👍
You might have an answer for this then: what amazes me is, how did early humans figure out that litterally drilling a hole into someone's head would have a higher chance of survival than letting the person have a migrane ? Basically, how the hell did early humans know and understand cranial pressure built-up after a head injury and that relieving that pressure was more beneficial than the risk and excruciating pain of drilling a hole into your head and die of sepsis... ?!
@1yoan3 Okay, so as far as the "why" goes, we don't know for sure. But there are many intriguing theories. Some think that it started as a way to "let out the evil spirits" in the case of head pain, mental illness, so-called "possession," etc... basically, as a ritual. But others think that it may have simply started after a head injury and as someone was cleaning bone chunks out of the wound, once the bone chunk was removed there was a hole that lessened the pressure on the brain and the wounded person survived, and they came to the conclusion that the hole itself is what helped helped the head wound. Now, there are lots of skulls that show healing AFTER the procedure, which means the person survived. As well as skulls that show no healing, i.e. the person died. So the reason many people think it was more than just for head injuries is because there's signs of this on children, or also multiple times throughout a person's life... but we just don't know. But as far as am actual battlefield procedure, I think if someone suffered a really nasty head wound and the person was unconscious, for example, they would just try it. if it worked GREAT! If it didn't, then they did what they could. And as far as knowledge of pressure in the skull and all that, they could see the evidence of the blood coming out of the skull... but realistically, I think its as simple as they found something that worked, so they just did it and passed the knowledge on. They didn't need to know the 100% correct mechanism that actually made it work. As long as more often than not, it did work. Does that make sense?
Survival was very low due to a lot of things including infections. Those who survived tended to be okay but if drilled too deeply and it was basically a light abotomy
@@Darqshadowyou'd be suprised, it actually depends. Apparently the Incans had a survival rate of 75% to 83%. This surgery has been around since prehistoric times, and obviously if you did die you'd be more likely to die from the original injury than from the operation.
@@Darqshadowit would depend on which part of the brain you were drilling over too. Some parts of the brain can take damage pretty well without much issue, and some parts are highly sensitive. Frontal lobotomies were so devastating because the frontal lobe of the brain is where all of your cognitive and social abilities are. Yet some people have survived gun shot wounds that went through their brain without lasting cognitive impairment because it missed the really important bits (though usually they are pretty disfigured). Just REALLY depends on what functions the damaged part is supposed to perform, and if other undamaged parts of the brain are able to adapt to take on that function
@@slitheen3 This is a great point, and quite a few of the trepanned skulls I've seen are on the top rear right side. (Parietal bone) I'd be curious to know how common the placement actually was. And if it was in the best areas how theyd figured it out. Maybe trial and error and knowledge passed down? (Referring to the truly ancient skulls) Interesting stuff.
As crazy as early brain surgery was (not just this, but lobotomies? 😮) they learned so so so much. I owe my life to the people who endured lobotomies. Neurologists were able to effectively rewire part of my brain.
@@kitty.x3 I have treatment resistant depression, and my doctor, a specialist in that field, had run out of things for me to try that might actually help. I had the option of trying yet another drug therapy, or having the surgery. There was nothing very promising about the drug, and she would never have suggested surgery unless she thought it had a real chance. I was at the end of my rope, and I would’t have been able to get through all the prep for the surgery (a year of interviews with various psychiatrists and neurologists, contrast CAT scan, MRI, etc.) without my parents. I couldn’t care anymore. I was such a mess that I admitted that I had no plans of suicide or other harm, but I couldn’t promise that I wouldn’t do anything stupid-impulsive. So I was taking some hardcore sedatives for almost a year. The actual surgery involves making a lateral incision about two inches above the hairline, and then, using a thermal laser, the surgeon severs a process (not quite sure what it is) on either side. This forces your brain to “rewire” itself. The patient has to be kept partially awake for the procedure so that they surgeons can talk to you and make sure they aren’t damaging nearby areas. My psychiatrist sat in on the surgery and I was evidently pretty funny with my responses 🤷♀️. They knock you out properly afterwards to give you a rest. And then you wake up… which a concussion! 😂 I was not expecting that. It takes 3 -18 months to see results. I was lucky enough for it to be 3. Things were amazing (I remembered being happy- it was so strange!) until I relapsed about a year after the surgery. But because the first one had been effective even temporarily, I was immediately penned in for the second one. If you have OCD, they do both parts at once. Recalcitrant depression, sometimes one is enough. So I had the second one done. The interesting thing is, for depression the “rewriting” gets the brain receptive to drug treatments again. It’s been about 10 years since the second surgery and I am still stable. That’s more than I could have hoped for. Unfortunately, the surgical treatment is not widely available. The hospital is less than 20 miles from my house but people come from all over the country. There has been some amazing progress in the treatment of mental illness but accessibility is still very limited. This was the MGH/Brigham Hospital in Boston Massachusetts. If you’re going to have a serious mental illness, it really helps to live in the Boston area 😬.
@@1yoan3 Boston has some of the best brain/neural/mental health specialists in the world. When I was getting the prep work done for my surgery, we (myself and one or both of my parents) would just drive in, I would do whatever the appointment involved, then we’d drive home. There were other people getting the same prep work done for the same procedure, but many were from different parts of the country so they had to coordinate mini-trips to Boston to get all the stuff done. Scheduling was easy for me, much harder if you had to get 8 different appointments done in one or two days.
Fun fact: free silver molecules can actually kill a LOT of bacteria, only copper topping it, meaning the Spanish silver covering actually helped with recovery and protected the wound from infection
#AbsoluteHistory EVERYONE with a massive headache wishes this was the solution. Once you have a small hole where your headache is, all of that pressure is released with an instant relief. SAW 3 (2006) when the female surgeon at the end of the movie had to release the pressure from John’s brain tumor, I was hooked on that idea ever since then. 😅
As a brain surgery survivor let me assure you: even with modern anesthesia you will probably still be conscious for a pressure-relieving procedure (like inserting an external drain). Even though they used scope-guided micro tools for my craniotomy, the disc of bone they removed was about the size of the bore shown in this video (thankfully for that I was under general anesthesia) and modern titanium screws meant they were able to reaffix my own bone. This video was super triggering tho! 😂 😅
It's absolutely mind-blowing that there are some descendants that have injured great-great-whatever like this. But for real, medicine or surgery back then was about trying to at least survive. Today's medicine is hoping you survive the medical bill afterward. Or dying so you don't have to pay.

And not just to alleviate pressure due to injury, they believed it released evil spirits, cured mental illness, it was done during certain rites and ritual’s ceremonies and I’ve even seen some cultures believed it made you more intelligent or gave you spiritual powers. Wild to think they were drilling into human skulls over 7000 years ago and people actually survived

The only "assuring" part was that your brain doesnt have receptors for pain so you wouldnt feel anything it if was touched
While it sounds brutal, the amazing part is it had a fairly decent survival rate, as there have been skulls found where they had undergone the procedure and the skull had been healing itself with new bone growth forming over the hole by the time the person died.
Didn't know bones could regrow like that, I just thought it was possible for fractures but not when you had a whole hole in your skull
@@blitzhill9533 It probably takes a long time and you would have to keep the hole closed and clean but the odds of surviving it were decent, because assuming they didn't accidentally hit your brain while making the hole the only thing that could kill you would be infection.

Silver is an alternative disinfectant, so that's surprisingly good work right there.
I have an ancestor who came to the American colonies around 1700. His nickname later in life was "old silver head." There are 2 stories as to why he was called this. One is simply that he had a head full of white hair as an old man (He died in his 70's). The other is that as a young man he was involved in a fight with a native tribe and took a tomahawk to the skull. A silver plate was then put over the hole left by the tomahawk. According to at least one genealogy site I looked at, the two stories are fairly equally credible. Of course, there's no way to know which it was, but the idea of anyone surviving that kind of surgery in those days is amazing.

Considering for the time period, it is pretty clever to close off the hole with a silver coin due to the antibacterial properties of silver. If the man somehow didn't die of shock, he might just survive by not getting killed by an infection.
Just imagine the pain, hearing it scrapping to your skin and then to the skull.

It's best not to injure the brain, fyi
They still do something similar to this today. My Mum had a ruptured brain aneurysm in 2013, emergency brain surgery repaired it but she had fluid build up inside her head a few days later. The surgeon took her back to the OR and drilled a hole right above her forhead with a tube so the fluid could drain out.
Yep my father had the same. Apparently its not all that rare in modern geriatric care, if all else is good.
Think it is not that hard as other surgeries but ofc a brain surgery is delicate as all surgeries or 98%

My great-great-great grandfather was a soldier in the American Civil War when he was 15-16 years old. The family lore is that he got hit in the forehead, and the surgeon plugged the hole with a silver dollar. He lived a normal life afterwards, getting married and having children, and passing away in his 70s. I would imagine that the procedure used on him was similar to what was demonstrated here.
They should do a "wear a helmet" commercial with how they treated brain injury in the olden days, gotta be authentic though.
This looks very gruesome and painful but intriguing and interesting at the same time.
"Are thems his brains dr?
No. Its just dried blood.
Those are his brains"- Master and Commander.
Subject to the requirements of the service... Great Movie.
Interesting fact trepidation is one of the earliest surgeries done by humans ever calls of people even from before the bronze age with signs of trepidation and healing to the skull proving they survived at least for a while, long enough for bone to start to heal
"and get back to work" 💀
"And this is how I lost my medical license"
Meet the medic
They actually still do this today.
I mean, they do it under anesthesia in a sterile operating room with better tools... 😂
But if you've had a brain injury that's caused your brain to swell, they'll remove a piece of your skill, allow time for everything to heal and go back down to normal size, then reattach that piece of skull.
We don't use silver dollars anymore though. 😂❤😊
This type of stuff makes me grateful I’m living in the modern era
Remember that line from Bones from the OG Star Trek movie?
To provide you with a little re-assurance, operations in the head are the least painful. Some surgeries even have the patient awake with their senses to make sure that they respond correctly while the procedure is going on. However, I would be worried about the tools and the skill of the physician, because they might damage the brain itself or the infection that might ensue afterwards.
I had a surgery where they bolted something to my skull (obvs full anesthesia and pain mgt), when I tell you headaches and pressure I had for months was crazy. I cannot even imagine going through that back then with no anesthesia.
Man I’d loooove to see a whole show of dude doing ancient medical techniques ❤
Seems perfectly safe. 🙂
risky, but the alternative is waiting for your brain to swell and crush itself with fluid, leaving you to die after experiencing the most excruciating pressure headache you've ever felt
Imagine today going to a surgery and they say "sorry we are fresh out of anasthesia" and then pull out a corkscrew and 20 cents

People even used to perform it with sharpened flint, obsidian, or stone knives.
Really interesting stuff!!
Keep these videos coming, I love these. 👍
You might have an answer for this then: what amazes me is, how did early humans figure out that litterally drilling a hole into someone's head would have a higher chance of survival than letting the person have a migrane ? Basically, how the hell did early humans know and understand cranial pressure built-up after a head injury and that relieving that pressure was more beneficial than the risk and excruciating pain of drilling a hole into your head and die of sepsis... ?!
@1yoan3 Okay, so as far as the "why" goes, we don't know for sure. But there are many intriguing theories. Some think that it started as a way to "let out the evil spirits" in the case of head pain, mental illness, so-called "possession," etc... basically, as a ritual.
But others think that it may have simply started after a head injury and as someone was cleaning bone chunks out of the wound, once the bone chunk was removed there was a hole that lessened the pressure on the brain and the wounded person survived, and they came to the conclusion that the hole itself is what helped helped the head wound.
Now, there are lots of skulls that show healing AFTER the procedure, which means the person survived. As well as skulls that show no healing, i.e. the person died. So the reason many people think it was more than just for head injuries is because there's signs of this on children, or also multiple times throughout a person's life... but we just don't know.
But as far as am actual battlefield procedure, I think if someone suffered a really nasty head wound and the person was unconscious, for example, they would just try it. if it worked GREAT! If it didn't, then they did what they could.
And as far as knowledge of pressure in the skull and all that, they could see the evidence of the blood coming out of the skull... but realistically, I think its as simple as they found something that worked, so they just did it and passed the knowledge on. They didn't need to know the 100% correct mechanism that actually made it work. As long as more often than not, it did work.
Does that make sense?
Obsidian knives were highly prized because they were so sharp and were comparable to modern stainless steel operating knives.
Oh my…just wondering what was the survival rate for this?!?!
And would the patients, who survived this treatment, had lasting disabilities?!
Survival was very low due to a lot of things including infections. Those who survived tended to be okay but if drilled too deeply and it was basically a light abotomy
@@Darqshadowyou'd be suprised, it actually depends. Apparently the Incans had a survival rate of 75% to 83%.
This surgery has been around since prehistoric times, and obviously if you did die you'd be more likely to die from the original injury than from the operation.
@@Darqshadowit would depend on which part of the brain you were drilling over too. Some parts of the brain can take damage pretty well without much issue, and some parts are highly sensitive. Frontal lobotomies were so devastating because the frontal lobe of the brain is where all of your cognitive and social abilities are. Yet some people have survived gun shot wounds that went through their brain without lasting cognitive impairment because it missed the really important bits (though usually they are pretty disfigured). Just REALLY depends on what functions the damaged part is supposed to perform, and if other undamaged parts of the brain are able to adapt to take on that function
@@slitheen3 This is a great point, and quite a few of the trepanned skulls I've seen are on the top rear right side. (Parietal bone)
I'd be curious to know how common the placement actually was. And if it was in the best areas how theyd figured it out. Maybe trial and error and knowledge passed down? (Referring to the truly ancient skulls) Interesting stuff.
low, but better than if it was not done at all

@@kitty.x3 I have treatment resistant depression, and my doctor, a specialist in that field, had run out of things for me to try that might actually help. I had the option of trying yet another drug therapy, or having the surgery. There was nothing very promising about the drug, and she would never have suggested surgery unless she thought it had a real chance. I was at the end of my rope, and I would’t have been able to get through all the prep for the surgery (a year of interviews with various psychiatrists and neurologists, contrast CAT scan, MRI, etc.) without my parents. I couldn’t care anymore. I was such a mess that I admitted that I had no plans of suicide or other harm, but I couldn’t promise that I wouldn’t do anything stupid-impulsive. So I was taking some hardcore sedatives for almost a year. The actual surgery involves making a lateral incision about two inches above the hairline, and then, using a thermal laser, the surgeon severs a process (not quite sure what it is) on either side. This forces your brain to “rewire” itself. The patient has to be kept partially awake for the procedure so that they surgeons can talk to you and make sure they aren’t damaging nearby areas. My psychiatrist sat in on the surgery and I was evidently pretty funny with my responses 🤷♀️. They knock you out properly afterwards to give you a rest. And then you wake up… which a concussion! 😂 I was not expecting that.
It takes 3 -18 months to see results. I was lucky enough for it to be 3. Things were amazing (I remembered being happy- it was so strange!) until I relapsed about a year after the surgery. But because the first one had been effective even temporarily, I was immediately penned in for the second one.
If you have OCD, they do both parts at once. Recalcitrant depression, sometimes one is enough. So I had the second one done. The interesting thing is, for depression the “rewriting” gets the brain receptive to drug treatments again. It’s been about 10 years since the second surgery and I am still stable. That’s more than I could have hoped for.
Unfortunately, the surgical treatment is not widely available. The hospital is less than 20 miles from my house but people come from all over the country. There has been some amazing progress in the treatment of mental illness but accessibility is still very limited.
This was the MGH/Brigham Hospital in Boston Massachusetts. If you’re going to have a serious mental illness, it really helps to live in the Boston area 😬.
How so Sarah ?
@@1yoan3 Boston has some of the best brain/neural/mental health specialists in the world. When I was getting the prep work done for my surgery, we (myself and one or both of my parents) would just drive in, I would do whatever the appointment involved, then we’d drive home. There were other people getting the same prep work done for the same procedure, but many were from different parts of the country so they had to coordinate mini-trips to Boston to get all the stuff done. Scheduling was easy for me, much harder if you had to get 8 different appointments done in one or two days.

#AbsoluteHistory
EVERYONE with a massive headache wishes this was the solution. Once you have a small hole where your headache is, all of that pressure is released with an instant relief. SAW 3 (2006) when the female surgeon at the end of the movie had to release the pressure from John’s brain tumor, I was hooked on that idea ever since then. 😅
As a brain surgery survivor let me assure you: even with modern anesthesia you will probably still be conscious for a pressure-relieving procedure (like inserting an external drain). Even though they used scope-guided micro tools for my craniotomy, the disc of bone they removed was about the size of the bore shown in this video (thankfully for that I was under general anesthesia) and modern titanium screws meant they were able to reaffix my own bone. This video was super triggering tho! 😂 😅
How would they deal with the infection? The silver coin hammered to the head would still has a gap?
It's absolutely mind-blowing that there are some descendants that have injured great-great-whatever like this.
But for real, medicine or surgery back then was about trying to at least survive. Today's medicine is hoping you survive the medical bill afterward. Or dying so you don't have to pay.
