fun fact, the brain itself doesn't actually feel pain. pain in the head is usually caused by pressure in the skull (hemorrhaging, hydrocephaly, etc), but the organ itself doesn't have pain receptors. operating on the brain while the patient is awake isn't even that uncommon and can actually be a benefit because you can check how lucid the patient is (and know instantly when something's going wrong because they'll show symptoms likes slurred speech, disorientation etc.)

80+*

[@rosekranz5120]

I have the same thing. Most of us hide it because nobody believes us. I have learned to use mind to judge my symptoms. It always has worked. Still alive and doing well. Curse and blessing on your perspective.

[@darkloot]

she doesnt feel any pain but when i saw the little needle go in the foot i flinched

[@AnimeFridays]

Definitely the best episode of the series for me

[@natalieweiner8471]

1:56 I never seen a doctor on tv do this to their patient before

[@chinookh4713]

they do this when people are over heating

[@Fun-guy9859]

well its neccesary since the patient cant sweat

[@realthursty4953]

I have a cousin who has this condition. He chewed off half of his lower lip when he was a baby and his teeth first came in. He says it is a miracle that he managed to survive to adulthood.

[@cbsteffen]

What if anybody never even took any physical damage (as in no bruises, no swellings, no scrapes, no cuts, and no fractures)? I easily imagine that someone couldn’t get injured on the outside and therefore would do all the damage instead!

[@Fun-guy9859]

those were words. i guess

[@Leo-im9oz]

”Damn it! The world record is over 60…”

[@bhargavasitiraju7257]

Saw the video and understood the respective symptoms.......

[@Behinddarkness86]

I remember many years ago seeing an I’m No Fool Jiminy Cricket cartoon. He was talking about the five senses. He explained the sense of touch and especially pain was vital to our survival. Without pain, we could walk into a fire and not even know it. No one likes being hurt but it does keep us alive.

[@beth_m234]

I love how he didn’t care and was only caring about how long it was❤😂 This is a very cool thing to have unless you are not careful because you should realise the consequences that come from this if u act badly.

[@EtherealSunset]

It's not even acting badly. There are so many accidents that can happen in life, even if you're careful. Bad stuff can be going on internally, that most people would know about because it would cause pain, they have no idea it's going on until it makes them really sick. Even if someone is sensible and careful, it can still cause issues. Pain exists for a reason, to warn that something isn't right. Sometimes pain can be felt too much, then that's also bad, but if it's regular pain, it usually serves a purpose.

[@lukusblack6442]

This is the coolest episode. The idea of someone who simply can't feel pain, and the illusion of immortality is interesting on its own, but add requiring x-rays to know you've damaged something... Any diagnosis is likely to start similar to "where does it hurt", and "can you describe the pain".

[@torduc22]

Okay I know she can’t feel pain but goddamn letting patients do surgery while awake just feels crazy

[@DarthFedora]

They do it for certain types of brain surgeries, the brain doesn’t have any pain receptors

[@DonkeyHotey-l2e]

Every episode is almost killing the patient by medical malpractice 3 times, then finding the cure that was previously overlooked.

[@uniwolfgamer1094]

I didn't even realise it was a worm. I thought it was just a string of the b12 they were talking about and questioned how she managed to put that much in her-

[@pretty6487]

😂😂

[@Crosshair587]

Foreman: So what’s the condition? House: *Hannah is blessed with invulnerability to all threats, physical or medical*

[@cunningsmile4166]

Swan dive with a half gainer. Nice form. But a rough entry. Might have to settle for the bronze

[@chikitabowow]

House: She's not fine Everyone else: She's fine Patient: Almost dies House: See? She's not fine Everyone else: You don't know that

[@aristired6252]

Lmao idk if she was having a paranoid delusion, acting out, and didn’t feel pain. Id still be pretty terrified if some rude guy took be to an OR and in a rush job opened up my intestines without telling me or his fellow staff members what he was doing

[@Aven579]

House: This is Excellent

[@manighimire6584]

"World record is 60" is crazy 😂

[@JJScene]

Half of this show is Wilson saying something that makes House solve the case.

[@afamoroti]

IT WAS A FUCKING TAPEWORM!!!!!! *faints

[@Fun-guy9859]

thanks random person

[@okashiromi5541]

"What's number 7?" "The best diagnostician in this hospital thinks so" - probably house in his head lol

[@Anton57514]

Anyone here find it weird that when Doc House was pulling the tape worm and could just be me here, but felt it being pulled out 🤔

[@invictafilms2690]

3:30 that was chilling and she literally watched a house pulled out her guts cut it open and pulled out a tapeworm.

[@MA-mh1vs]

That is not how they get rid of a tapeworm LOL. No doctor is cutting into someones intestines when a simple antiparasitic can be given.

[@144heartx]

tbh if it was that long, idk what the protocol is 💀

[@MA-mh1vs]

@@144heartx That is not an unusual length, they can be much larger. It is nice that they have medicine for them now, my grandfather had one and back then they starved them out! He was only allowed a few crackers and water each day for more than a week until he passed it.

[@144heartx]

@@MA-mh1vs If that's not considered long, i'm scared 😭. And wow, I didn't know you could even starve them without you dying first, the more you know 💀

[@MA-mh1vs]

@@144heartx Yeah so far the largest removed was 82 ft long.

[@aeris2001]

This is a TV show bro, it's not real...

[@KentPetersonmoney]

I heard about this condition. I didn't know they couldn't feel cold and hot temperatures either. Thought it was just pain they couldn't feel. So someone with this condition wouldn't know they were freezing and would be at risk for forstbite?

[@king-gv3bk]

Kinda wish I had that disorder. Would have been nice feeling fine while getting screws in my knee 😅

[@jax422]

It’s literally a curse. Most people with that disorder don’t even survive into adulthood because they die of things like easily treatable infections. They don’t know when they are hurt or sick. A simple paper cut can turn into a deadly blood infection. Whatever caused you to need those screws in your knee probably would’ve killed you before you knew you needed to see a doctor.

[@marauderdz]

Thank goodness I didn't see the twist ending in the video description before watching it.

[@Queue3612]

What i find worse then House just barging into an OR thats being used is House performing surgery without a mask.

[@Fun-guy9859]

with an open cavity while the girl in question cant even tell if shes infected. agreed

[@aeris2001]

It's a TV show done for dramatic effect

[@dacaba]

9:24 I love how she took a picture 😂😂😂
