WOW, humans can get inside other humans for "repairing" them.

This is a miracle, think about it .

@MichaelYaremchuk they cut out a hole in the skull kind of like a round skylight/puzzle piece roughly the size/shape of my temple and then placed it back and used titanium microscrews and plates to hold it in place, the titanium screws stay on the skull forever there is really no need to take them off but my Dr. said one patient requested it ;) (afraid of aliens i believe)

I had surgery to correct a birth defect ~ innominate foramen meningoencephalocele
