Bizarre Brain Surgery Mishaps

Video Transcript

Welcome ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, to Expert Village and the intriguing realm of bizarre medicine. I'm your host doctor Franklin Rhuel. While I'm a P.H.D. in theoretical nuclear physics, I've always been intrigued by bizarre medicine. Let's see what's in the little black bag today. Well we have a note. A surgical glove, another one. Monks cowl and a scalpel. And this pertains actually to three cases of brain surgery. The first took place in Copeland Germany, where a patient was wheeled in for brain surgery and his scalp removed for the surgery and placed in the hospital refrigerator. But the refrigerator went on the fritz and his scalp dried up and could not be replaced. So he's walking around without a scalp. He sued for forty-one hundred dollars, but I think he'd rather have his scalp. Now the real solution to that is simply this, he could do very well with an all purpose monk's cowl. Now this covers his head that doesn't have a scalp and I assure you that he would be noticed walking down the street. Now we have another case from the hospital at Dora Salome in Tanzania. Where one person who needed brain surgery is wheeled in and given a knee operation. And the patient who needed the knee operation was rolled in and given the brain operation. Now the guy who needed the brain operation died and the hospital said, the reason was because they both had the first name of Emmanuel. Again, the monk's cowl solves this. Anyone who needs brain surgery should be given a monk's cowl. It may sound silly, but would prevent tragic errors like this. Now we have a third case. From the Rhode Island in Providence, Rhode Island. Three times in the past year, patients getting brain surgery, had the surgery on the wrong side of the brain. One of them died. And amazingly, one of the surgeons involved was the chief resident. Inexcusable. The real solution again. The patient should be given a monk's cowl and then a not such as right side of the brain, put on the right side. Now there's no mistake can be made. So you see someone walking down the street, wearing a monk's cowl that says right, realize that they need brain surgery in their brain's right hemisphere. Present company accepted, of course.
