Who was Phineas Gage? What the textbooks get wrong about his famous brain injury

[@sateIIitepilot]

Good point but, it could also be that those were his initial side effects and that it took him months to recover and after a year he had re-learned how to en-'gage' with the world around him. Pun intended.

Nice pun!🤣

I am the only live witness who saw what happened that day, and I am not telling anything about it!

[@sharonayouabian6922]

I was always wondering about that. i though he might have suffered from PTSD after the accident. Thank you for the great info.

[@AndrewB221]

He was 36 when he died, with Brain injuries in which I as well suffer? A Severe Traumatic Brain Injury? We don’t necessarily live long, our mind’s deteriorate and we develop Alzheimer’s and Dementia and Parkinson’s, it’s unfortunate and uncomfortable, I forget who I am or what I did a lot

[@AndrewB221]

I don’t worry about it or about anything as much as I should and aim for better results and improvements of my body and my health and my mind and necessarily don’t care about temporary things, I don’t work as much as I want to, dedicated myself to Fitness and Coffee and Arts and just Positivity, do I swear? Yes, and whatever

You should do a video on the urban legend of the guy who did LSD and believed he turned into an Orange. He spent the rest of his days in fear of being “peeled”.

[@Rose-950._.]

Turned into a.....WHA DA HEL-

[@kkaplinski77]

I thought he got it stabbed through the bottom of his head and it came out through the top of his head?

What the heck… I thought what happened was this guy fell off a train bed and needed medicine so his doctor prescribed him radium water. He drank so much radium water that he eventually died. Is this real life?

[@allwaizeright9705]

I'm not sure where that info came from - From everything I read he had a minor change in personality...

[@Oilcanhenry58]

Interesting, thanks.

[@offense53]

Thank you read a bunch of articles most of them described what you were saying.

[@NuWhoSucks]

He looked like Christopher Reeve!
