Wiki:
Phineas P. Gage (July 9?, 1823 – May 21?, 1860) was a railroad worker remembered for his incredible survival of a traumatic brain injury which destroyed one or both of his frontal lobes, and for the injury’s reported effects on his personality and social functioning—effects said to be so profound that friends said he was “no longer Gage.” His case played a role in the development of the understanding of the localization of brain function, and was among the first to suggest that damage to the frontal lobes can affect personality and behavior.
Street Anatomy reports on a modern day equivalent:
According to a case report in the European Journal of Neurosurgery, a 49 year-old Native American male presented to the emergency room complaining of soreness in the left cheek and eye area after being hit in the face 6 hours earlier by an assailant.
A physical examination only showed a 5m cut below his left eye with some periorbital edema, but a CT scan showed a cylindrical foreign body coursing from the left orbit to the right thalamus.
Under general anesthesia an incision was made near the man’s eyelid. The surgeon searched around and then carefully pulled out the proximal end of what appeared to be a wooden object.
The wooden object turned out to be a 10.5cm–long paintbrush, shoved in bristles first!
Amazingly the patient was discharged neurologically and ophthamologically intact.
The pictures are even more impressive:
Our body’s resilience never ceases to amaze.

This can help you only look for vacuums that meet this price criterion
and you will not be tempted to look at a vacuum that is out of your price range.
As can be seen from the above applications, cleaners of this type have a wide variety of uses.
The only weight setting on your carper at the roller brush is the weight of the
nozzle itself.
08Ct, the VG cutting technique would ensure crafts concentration.
These simple styles can still include the needed medical information
without being gaudy or noticeable. Men’s necklaces also come in many shapes and styles.
Thank you, I have just been looking for info about this topic for a while and yours is the greatest I have came upon till
