Reminds me of a similar scene I saw years ago, they asked the patient to count up to 20 as they start working, he goes "1, 2, 3, 4, 5..." then starts making unintelligible noises rather than the words... then "...13, 14, 15". He had no idea he wasn't saying the numbers.
@@tomfoolish5202 Hey, buddy! Did you finally finish your weekly quota of flaming anything God-related in the comments here in youtube? Gotta have that daily dose of flame war you can't live without.
I know its amazing that is even possible, or that the surgeon can even keep it together while doing this. still this is probably the coolest thing I have seen yet.
@@klgang2083 No you are not you choose a good age to be interested in medicine, Which I am very happy about since I hope it works out for you. A good place to start would be to watch videos like this, read medical and science books and if you do find surgery interesting see if your school offers any courses on anatomy and look into pre-med programs.
When I was 7 I had a brain tumour and I was operated on by Thomas Santarius. (The surgeon in the video). I wouldn't be typing this if it wasn't for him, he's a much bigger superhero than any DC or Marvel "superhero"
I was in hospital recovering after having a couple of operations for brain aneurysms. A bloke was brought into the next bed and they pulled his curtains closed and explained that they were going to do this exact operation on him.

Everyone's talking about how Doctors did a excellent job (which they did) but you must really have to see this.... Surgeries like these are almost near death experiences for that person & absolutely shattering to the spouse and family members. You must understand this, Intense events like this can really change that person's entire outlook on life right from the core values, it can change the entire perspective on life almost like a rebirth. I applaud that person and his wife and whoever out there being supportive & strong throughout these critical phases. Amen ❤🙏
Thank you Ben for your willingness to help and hopefully save many lives in the future. I also hope God's blessing continues and allows you and your wife many years of life and love together. You are an inspiration. 🙏🏽💪🏽
11 yrs ago when I underwent Open heart Awake Surgery for Aortic valve replacement at Fortis Hospital Bangalore, India (they said it was First of its kind). I was happy to hope that many more amazing surgeries would follow in Medical Science blessed by God Almighty. These 11 yrs looked a short time till date.. enjoying a healthy lifestyle
Respect to the doctors and to the staff for doing an outstanding job! My dream was to become a surgeon but I gave up because my hands shake either when I’m nervous or not and I can see myself not thinking straight when doing a surgery. I’m afraid of the thought that I might kill someone because of my condition.
I thought I was super unlucky to be having a surgery for a metal plate on my arm, of which the incision was about 4-6 centimetres. While this was happening, I was under very strong anaesthesia and I didn’t even have to get my cannula awake cause I was so scared. And here is this guy, having a brain surgery with a huge incision and he’s *awake* . I feel fairly fine...
Thanks for those who asked how it went, they got pretty much all of the cancer out and after two surgeries I can hear ok from my left ear and I’m healing pretty well. Sadly, I’m a grade four cancer ‘club member’ so I’ll never be ‘free’ as it were and I will only go on for so long, but the wonderful folks at Addenbrooke’s have given me a bit longer so its good news. Some of the folks in the film shown here looked after me, the surgeon did my second operation. I cannot thank all of them enough for what the did for me.
Its a bit of a cheek, but this is my blog I’ve been writing ever since all of my ‘adventure’ started last October, feel free to have a read if you wish. facebook.com/Cyril-the-Arsehole-493871191123112/

A friend of mine had a brain tumor. I told her to imagine that she's at the front of the train, and every carriage is filled with family and friends. We're traveling with you on this journey.
I had this surgery and I can say that you cannot feel any pain at all as I was under anesthesia and you need to be awake so that you can tell the surgeon if there is any pain or a problem like you cannot see. What hurts and it hurts a lot is the recovery time that it takes for the brain swelling to go down. The brain itself does not feel pain as there are no nerves in the brain the nerves surround the brain and since the brain is swollen and pressing up against the nerves and the skull which does not give or move at all it is all nerve on bone and that is what hurts so much as there is no relief at all until the swelling goes down. I had my surgery in the early 80's and side of my skull like in the video unlike some brain surgeries today that are done by a pin point Laser surgical cutting tool.
When I stated that the recovery part if the surgery was the worst part of it that my not be the in today's surgery. My surgery was done in 1982 and I was one of the research patients in the study. i am sure that there is a lot done today that my be different then it was back then. In my recovery we did a lot of things like I never took any pain reliever to help in the recovery because at that time the thinking was if the doctors gave me pills to help with the swelling of the brain the brain the swelling would take longer to go down do to the brain thinking that all was Ok. From the doctors that I talk to today the surgery is a lot different then it was back then and it is much simpler and easy on the patient today.
When I had a brain surgery I wasn’t awake. But trust me, waking up after a 5 hour surgery is the worst feeling you can have. Waking up in the middle of the surgery and having to perform some tasks while the surgery is going on must be the icing on the biggest shit dump you can’t even imagine.
In 1977 they cut me ear to ear then cut a part of my left front scull to release the pressure and then work to get rid of the blood clot I wonder how they would do it now I thank the Western general in Edinburgh and mr JF SHAW and his team
everyone saying this makes them excited to ecome a doctor but all i see is enourmous responsibility and psychological pressure? imagine the guilt if something goes wrong, i could never
You have to keep this thought out of your mind and ensure yourself we that you can do this and believe me it will work, Good luck. You can an will do it.
My friend Lily was 21 when she had an brain injury because she choked on a small piece of pizza dough but she didn’t have seizures and she doesn’t have epilepsy. My best friend Weslyn has epilepsy
yes! it's a very fascinating subject - the factors that impact the development, size, landmarks, and wiring of the brains are as unique to individuals as their fingerprints. these factors involve things such as environment, medications, recreational drugs history, genetic dispositions, and even what your mother ate and drank when you were in the womb. as we grow up and carve our own paths, our neurons form connections in ways others don't, and vice versa. this means that even though humans share most of the same general connection pathways and general neurological anatomy, the specifics of them are vastly varied from person to person. additionally, physiological abnormalities such as cell hyperplasia - an excessive, abnormal growth of cells - can make the brain's landmarks appear differently. this is why tissue removal in the brain benefits so much from the step-by-step, inch-by-inch method of an awake craniotomy to prevent the significant loss of any vital tissue.
Doesn't the patient feels pain from bein awake while his head from behind is open and doctors are operating on it ? If anyone has ever gone through awake brain surgery, pls tell me the experience by replying !
i'm very late, but brain tissue lacks nociceptors, aka pain receptors, meaning he can't actually feel anything as they poke and prod at his brain. the scalp, on the other hand, is anaesthetized throughout the duration of the surgery to prevent him from experiencing the pain of having his skin cut open. when he comes out of surgery, he will feel pain around the incisions of his scalp, and may experience symptoms such as headaches as the brain swells and heals.
“The fact that he stops counting tells the doctor to not remove that”... I DIED😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
