Prefrontal Tuberculoma (1933)

[BadGirlOfAutism]

If I remember rightly the NHS wasn't around when this footage was shot, so I wonder how much would this operation have cost (equivalent in todays money)?

[truvelocity]

He made it after that? Wow.

[FallingStar17]

How medicine has changed!  Amazing video,

[duanedragon2]

HOLY $HIT! I kept wondering what they were going to bring out next. Jack-hammer, stick of dynamite, pruning saw? I don't use this degree of barbarism working on CARS.

[saladin972]

look how brutaly damn 

[krstnlhjt]

This is 'state of the art' surgery in the 1930's.

[candilion34]

i think he has 6 fingers on his right hand ...

[12coudak000]

They dont have even gloves.

[krstnlhjt]

@12coudak000 - The surgeon has gloves on

[truvelocity]

@12coudak000 Yes, they were waring gloves. Tight fitting gloves but they had them.

[mid2k]

Man, did he just put his finger in this dudes brain?! ...and at some point he's just going to go home and have a normal meal. I sometimes simply see some people walking down the street that can make me lose my appetite!

[GoldenShiner1]

do they have anesthesia back then? or do they just used vodka or somekind of whisky?

[myez]

@GoldenShiner1

Yeah, they had ether and chloroform back then.

[TwoGiantLeftFeet]

whats the medical term for poking your finger into someones brain hole?

[rlwieneke]

@TwoGiantLeftFeet "think a hole in one".

[Rammstein8814]

good job

[ScabeaterTV]

You are not allowed to show any boobs or something like that but it's ok to show a head get cracked open. WTF YouTube, WTF? o.O

[Zeanu]

Invaluable footage!

[Decreasion]

cool i <3ed it!

[Teresa1310]

aaaaah I love it <3

[Hauntzor]

Does this give anyone else a headache from watching?

[Marmalade000000]

Wow, after watching this video I can see all the mechanical tools they used to simply break the skull open - as apposed to electric drills today. Nevertheless, awesome to see neurosurgery in action!

[ave2timeslip]

Oh my, can't believe people really think this is fake??

There's a Danish(?) motion picture titled Facing the Truth, which shows some brain surgery. Very shocking. Worse than this!

Full respect for the doctors who do this as a job!

[sethmac86]

o let me guess your just "guihpimenta" just using a different name. come on youtube is full of idiots. seriously look up CGI its all fake

[WellcomeFilm]

Soundtracks were very expensive to produce, even though of course they were available on film. With this kind of film, it would have been thought that all information could be put across by intertitles instead of by an expensive soundtrack.

[Dannyboy855]

WOW I think I have the same tool set in my fucking garage !!!

[TheStarWarsFan77]

i thought if anything touched your brain, you would die or get seriously fucked up.

[sethmac86]

FAKE

[guihpimenta]

as a neurosurgeon believe me ...ITS NOT FAKE...

[sethmac86]

yea right, people just cut open skulls and poke around at a brain... seriously if its so REAL then why isnt there any other video of it? its cause the people who made this fake vid didnt want to make a better one cause its too hard to fake to make a better looking one

dumbazz

[guihpimenta]

did you attepnpted for the year of that vid? take a look at NEUROSURGIC site, or tag neurosurgery here in you tube.....i mean it.....this is true.....i do it for living

[sethmac86]

dude, im not going to join a crappy facebook, seriously give it up. there was like only 66 people on that entire site? wtf? why dont you post a new NON-FAKE video of you cutting open some ones skull and poking around, o right you wont cause its FAKE

[guihpimenta]

ok...take a look im my videos: FACADA, ARPÃO, etc,etc,etc.....that was me, exact like i do everyday, maybe because of that i know its not fake and you dont......

[sethmac86]

o wow a 13 second video i could make right now with some hamburger meat, seriously some people on youtube are so dumb, i even asked my teacher and he said i was right, there is no way to cut open somebodys brain and poke around.

[guihpimenta]

ohhhhh so nice!!!!! he asked a dematologist about neurosurgery!!!!!! very, very smart.....

remain with your ignorance and i pray God you could never be a MD......

[sethmac86]

bla bla bla, its not like becoming a Dr/MD is even hard anyways, this shit is fake and you are just adding fuel to the fire cause you are some video guy who probabbly makes fake vids for a living and dont want people to to know which are real and not. computers these days are crazy.

[theylive23]

Could do with a bit of goregrind on the soundtrack....

[shervk808k]

dunno if i'm more excited or disgusted. lol

FIY: it's freaking awesome though

[iK4rL]

[gibanes]

[il128]

Not much different today...

[guihpimenta]

idiot......

[DBKahuna88]

no exactly gentle are they

[tonicblue1]

Fascinating, thank you for uploading these!

I didn't think I was squeamish (at least I didn't think C4's Live Autopsy was that bad) until I saw the removal of the scalp. I guess it is because I know that the patient is alive.

Thanks again!

[badblueman]

Thank god we have people like the surgeons to fix us. I can't really imagine how it would be like for me to perform any operation.

[adwkiwi]

Damn. Turns out I'm squeamish :(

Well done Wellcome, though, great resource!

[teagregositeveo]

goree !!!!!!
