Brain Surgery

Surgery

Yet another rabid controversy brewing here. Stand back. Take a deep breath. Move along.

If brain surgery is like art, anyone who claim they are a brain surgeon must be one.

Well, there's always rocket science to fall back on!

Not another mindless question about another mindless thing..I think Abbie is going to have her hands full shutting all these down.. geezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

if its your first surgery, you best get a mirror, shave your head, and practice on youself with a frontal lototamy. ....
like I did:)

there's only one thing to do....man up and when you get outta jail, become an artist/photographer

I know what.. all I have to do is start typing a long long long long post to reply and it will get shut down the minute I press submit.. lol.. that has happened to me several times lately but I do have to look at it this way .. at least im getting plenty of typing experience with my dragon software.. thanks Abbie.. appreciate it..

its pretty simple really. the brain is located in the head. saw open the head, and scoop parts out you don't like.

use this as a guide

@Jean, you've got to have one of the more interesting personalities going :)

Marlene - sounds good in theory - but it could mean * if * I ever get out; I've heard stories of horrible things they force artists to do in prison, like teaching, and painting huge murals of the open countryside. Not sure if that's for me...

Drew - good thinking, I hear practice makes perfect. Though I think I'd rather practice on someone else first - that's how they usually start isn't it?

Brian, rocket science would have been the preferred option, but I couldn't live with myself if I inadvertently undermined the space program!

Gregory, you may be right, possibly rabid, possibly pleasant - everyone's call :)

Ed - yes indeedy - though I was thinking maybe I should phone in with the flu or measles or something contagious ;)

Well done Mike - your creations continue to astound!

Brian, i think they practice on dead people.....well.....your first may quality

There may be a few faa members willing to be your anesthesiologist

I don't see the problem here. That's why the call it "practicing medicine".

Whatever you choose to do, make sure you are wearing clean underwear!

I have a sweet tooth. I prefer sugary. If I were a zombie, I suppose I would prefer brain surgery.

Marlene!!!!!!! You are so funny!!!!! You owe me a new computer screen. I had a mouthful of wine when I read your post.

Mark, first things first..

"Do no harm"...

Fake it until you make it

It is probably way too late for this advice but you might try practicing on yourself before actually going into the operating room. Or at least rent some of the old ER series... Good luck, write when you get out!

At least you don't have all those student loans to worry about. Pure profit!

Just settle for a bit of trepanning and tell everybody that you've solved the problem. They were able to trepan (drill holes in the skull to release pressure) back in the Stone Age, so it shouldn't be too hard and patients seem to have a reasonable survival rate.

PS: I just remembered I guy I met in a bar in Aberdeen, who claimed that the offshore oil rig manager he worked under had conned his way onto the platform and got by with the simple formula of dealing with every problem by asking the guy who brought it to him "Well, what would YOU do?" and when they told him he agreed and told them to get on with it. Since the squaddies usually know best, that seems a pretty sound course. Ask your assistant how he would operate and then give him the chance to show you.

she has an unfortunate shadow under her nose that bugged me the whole time. the only other thing that bugged me was that while she went to school faking it all the way - what does she really do?

Mark, yeah, but you'll get 3 square meals a day....which is way more than a lot of artists get on the outside.

Mike - Amy Cuddy is an American social psychologist known for her research on stereotyping. Cuddy studies the origins and outcomes of how people judge and influence each other.

Her Ted talk ranks as the 2nd most popular of all time.

The old ER runs will teach you enough definitely. Go with Mary's advice

Try not to get the ER runs while you're operating.

Do what other "surgeons" do, stream YouTube videos while operating! Geezz, so simple!

Rich

This is a recurring nightmare for me. In the dream, I'm in the middle of the surgery, doing pretty well. Then I realize I'm not wearing pants.

Just read up on it and think positive.

Funny comments, lol

blood is messy. wear something red.

Good luck to you, Mark!

If only we could find a way to do the same thing in the art world!

Just call in sick....then run....run as fast as you can!! lol

::::tossing Gary a wet rag::::::


sorry, hon

Mark, you cannot do the surgery....all of your hair will never fit in one of those little surgery hats.

This is a pretty long operation......................."

@Marlene...how can you see hair, I can barely see a face...

When I first started out as a gynecologist I had the same worries. I find making sure that you have warm hands goes a long way.

omg ...I mean really? this many replies.. come on.. I thought my life was boring but geez.. this is so ridiculous and thanks for the personality thing..i think..

And here you are with your third post.., you have posted about 8% of the total... . lol... . =>))

Shoot a little footage on your smart phone.

I think I can safely say for all of us, we'd like to know how it goes.

Post the film here after the operation is over. We wont sit in judgement if the outcome is not good.

Some of these posts make me laugh my butt off. You can always watch General Hospital they are always doing brain surgery ..it teaches you that you can get in a crash need brain surgery become I different person than die come back and need another brain surgery to remove a tumor forget who you are again and than be good as new and go home the next day. But something makes me think (not to mention any names) but you know who you are already live in a soap opera all your own one day your an artist ,,than your a brain surgeon . That's one heck of a resume . Sorry if I was being mean I will go behave now :)

If the Maya could do it so can you!

Make sure you bring your camera and a tripod and a remote trigger....

The operation was a success but the surgeon died???

April Foo maybe?
