TIL that in 1848 a railroad worker survived an accident where an iron bar pierced through his head, destroying most of his left frontal lobe. However, his personality and behavior changed considerably
Pretty insane story, and his Docter is a mayor part of it, who tried his best with the knowledge and tools that he had. They had to drain the wound at the right times to relieve some pressure, but careful as to not introduce even more inflammation. Stuff tried growing in his wound. Damn, he walked and talked for years after, but eventually, this wound did do him in. Gg wp, Phineas, you held on for as long as you could.
