I'm not gonna lie. The idea of doctors steering a thin cable through my brain is one of nightmares.
But the fact that they're able to do so and save lives is a remarkable feat. I can only hope that we can eventually make most strokes much less debilitating.
- tomcam 7y agoDoctors just inserted a less-thin cable through… well, my copy of most men’s favorite organ in order to get rid of a few kidney stones. I walked out under my own power with some super-duper Ibuprofen. After 5 days I was back to normal, no pain at all. I’m not going to lie, if I have a choice between invasive brain surgery and the thin cable, I’ll take the cable.
