What the fuck how can anyone survive that ? What the hell ?

The inner workings of the mind are a mystery we've hardly scratched the surface of understanding. His basic functions remained, but his demeanor and personality dramatically shifted. Let alone his survival. His case let us know that we don't know shit, relatively speaking.

But why didn't he blead to death or something . I thought the hospitals were a joke back then

[–] explodicle@local106.com 10 points 8 months ago

Basically everything (but the fact that a bar went through his head) was in his favor. He was young and healthy. His brilliant surgeon had actually watched a similar failed surgery once before, and so allowed drainage into Gage's sinuses once the bar was removed. This controlled blood flow while allowing pus to drain out later.

If you ever see anything like this, don't pull it out - let the doctor do it!

Beats me, as the odds should have readily been against him. It's a notable case for a reason.

[–] The_wild_card@lemmy.ml 3 points 8 months ago

Yeah it is a mystery i wonder how much of the facts we have about it is correct

[–] flambonkscious@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago (3 children)

Obviously, it's because he keep kept standing, so the head was elevated above the heart, limiting the blood flow considerably.

That concludes my shitty fiction for the day...

[–] The_wild_card@lemmy.ml 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Just pitch it to disney now or somethin.

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 2 points 8 months ago

Oh...I though Inside was about feelings not actually stuff inserted inside of your.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Yes and they probably put leeches all over his wounds too.

It appears that he drove home, summoned the doctor, and they did the surgery at his house

Like how an old twisted coathangar can still work fine as a radio antenna.
