[@nonnag]

I'm not sure why the doctor responded that way. The frontal lobe is definitely not the worst part of the brain to damage.

[@SammyP038]

@@nonnag Id say the Dr is pretty correct in saying it’s one of the most important parts. Impulse control, emotional regulation, social interaction, problem solving, and many more important cognitive functions are all functions of the frontal lobes. Other parts of the brain such as the temporal lobes will only impact things such as language. The frontal lobe is in charge of so many important functions that are crucial for day to day living like education, socializing, and employment.

[@TheVeganVixenBlog]

I feel such empathy for him especially living with a terminal illness where you can tell people what you’re going through but they just can’t understand and it’s not that you expect people to understand because if you don’t go through it yourself you never will. But, when you are sick you tend to understand a lot more of the emotional side effects, ramifications and pain that others go through. I wish I could just talk with him because I am under quarantine because of this pandemic until next year. All I want to do is let him know that he’s so lucky to be alive and he will have such an ability to make an impact on so many people even though it’s a tragedy we are so adaptable that he will always find a way to turn it into something positive (once he heals). Not only will it help him but his journey will help other people it will also continue to help to heal him mentally and spiritually allowing him to feel happiness again. My heart goes out to him more than I can ever put into words @jeffwittek.

Not physical things but character traits. I was in elementary school when I criticized someone for acting rude to someone then I noticed I was just as rude to someone else. I can't remember anymore specific ones but I genuinely believed that if you judge or criticize someone for being or acting a certain way, life will put those traits on yourself so you can feel what it's like and so you don't judge anymore.

The holes on the image aren't actual physical holes. They are zones of low blood flow which shows lack of brain function. My father had a stroke this last year, he lost movement on his right side and couldn't walk, speech was very impacted. Now a year later, he has blown my mind away and is fully walking without a cane or anything, speech and right arm mobility is so improved. He fully is self sustaining of himself. He literally is my biggest inspiration. He's so strong, worked so hard to recover. It just proved to me that even if you have 3 strokes (that's what the scan found) 2 little ones and then one major one that was the one that sent him to the ER when walking home that day, thank God two girls saw my dad fall over while walking his bike. They got him a ambulance. They are amazing. We had them over for gifts later on. Anyways, this has shown me just how much the brain can adapt and heal and utilize itself. It's facinating and I want to get into studying the brain as a living since my grandma (who shares a birthday with me) was diagnosed with a very rare form of dementia that took her from us with 2.5 years.... She was herself, sharp minded, and then Bam! She was effected by this brain disease and it was so hard but she was so strong and we still had her there just her brain wasn't working correctly at all... Last night we had with her, somehow like a miracle, she had an hour or so of utter clarity, she before this night had 2 moments of snapping out if it and being self aware and realizing she's got a brain disease and then she'd list off accurate memories of things that have occured and it was mind boggling and equally emotional. Those were short and abrupt. This last moment she came back to, had her amazing sarcasm, being very loving like she was, and genuinely got to relax and enjoy the night with us until we drove back from the hospice care facility. Then the next morning we got a call she was passing, March 4th last year, Luckily the remaining rest of extended family got to see and be with her. We got in the parking lot when it was official she passed. We just made it there and parked after driving from a town over but was a minute late.. In that moment we really realized just how amazing that moment of mental clarity and comfort she had with us was the best girl we never expected, and we were lucky enough to share with her... (I'm sorry, I'm rambling on about personal stuff) but it just all motivates me so much to study the human brain and human biology and physiology.

This was really sad to watch, Jeff seems like a good guy who got caught up with KZbin lifestyle. My daughter’s dad has a brain like his, he knows to not drink or smoke and chooses to anyway. You seem like a guy who genuinely cares for your health and keeps pushing forward with life, you got this dude, just be consistent with what is best for you.

[@brigon7726]

@@jowtag cannot believe people like you are so keen in defending a man that doesn’t even know you exist. This isn’t an accident. He got in that excavator, managed the controls without a license and took it a step further by bumping the speed on the machine in order to get good content. even after corinna had said that he took things too far. He gave another person brain damage, emotional distress, and on top of that medical bills that I’m sure he did not pay for. He ALMOST killed someone. This could have been a manslaughter case. Do you understand the gravity of that? You’re an idiot.

watching jeff and hearing him talk about how that was the darkest time he’s had is so heartbreaking. I legit want to give him the biggest hug and i hope he can recover so strong like he deserves the most

[@girlboss8299]

Thank you for putting this out there. I have been working on recovering from a TBI for 6 years. It’s hard to explain to other people how u can look normal, but not be okay. Mine was also a freak accident that I felt really stupid for lol. You are so lucky to have the resources to get the treatment u need

[@nstyvfx40]

I just want to give Jeff a hug. :(

I had to go through a meeting like this after three TBIs within a 15 month time frame. Developed anxiety, depression, mood swings etc. My doctor was able to make me feel stable again…in control again.

[@ThePomskysPalace]

Jeff, I knew nothing about you until the frenemies interview. I started looking into you and I can’t stop watching your vids...you’re so NY, I love it! Stop with the insecurity stuff, you’re amazing! I flipped a car a few years ago, I completely get it..it shows you who’s real and who’s just around. Take it as a blessing and keep pushing forward! ❤️🙏🏽

[@Panandabear]

I got emotional. I hope no one says negative things about Jeff's experience or how he copes and tells his story. This is real, he's human and needs support.

“I don’t know what I don’t remember cuz I don’t remember it” never related to something so much in my life

This is a life altering experience for many. I don't know Jeff, but watching the video of his injuries was intense. May he find healing in this process and I hope that this reaches people who want to push the limit for a video.

After my brain injury I felt like a stranger in my own mind. I wasn’t able to think the way I would normally think. It’s still like that but over time it gets better but I know I’m incredibly lucky.

[@johanymerejo4781]

This is so sad made me a bit teary eye when he showed the video of his accident and when he disclosed that he has depression. You can see the pain in his eyes.

[@looncroon]

I'm so happy he's going to therapy now, I was so surprised he said that before the accident he didn't think anxiety and depression were real. I wish he didn't have to face those in the first because they're torturous, but I hope he learns with therapy how to process and cope with these new emotions.

[@radry5607]

This is a very tasteful video, set up respectfully and so educational. I hope you're doing well Jeff!

Jeff, this is so good, and I hope this journey is just the next stepping stone for you to do what you said about finding purpose and making meaningful content for others. I hope you have some great support as you move forward, man. You’re probably one of my fave guys to watch, not so much much about what you do but for who you are. Freakin love your humor. This was also a really inspiring side of you to see with the vulnerability and desire to move forward and keep fighting battles. Looking forward to seeing more of your journey!

Jeff is ahead already because he came to see Dr Amen. 🙏🏼 he stays the course and heals his brain and impacts others to do better for themselves too.

[@poojagb]

Even with the brain damage Jeff was able to empathise and apologise for his mistakes with the Insider article. I don’t like cancel culture but I have not wanted anybody cancelled like I do David. He just played with this mans life and many others. Just stupid.

[@spaceface320]

In this case, it would be justified cancel culture. Cancel Culture initially started as a boycott of issues that went unaddressed in big name shows and products. It became too fine tuned that it started rooting out things that were not really troubling per se (i.e one tweet from years ago), not that said tweet or statement couldn’t be without accountability. But David, literally, through his own recklessness, nearly smashed the skull and killed his friend for a video. He needs to grow up and take accountability. Jeff’s process of forgiveness or separating fro David is his own, but David has to doubly make amends with Jeff and be more responsible with his audience

[@Sara-xk1ns]

Thank you for sharing this story. Seeing Jeff’s accident shocked a lot of people, but his docuseries really showed the physical damage and especially the emotional and mental damage caused by the accident. I think he’s doing an amazing thing by being so vulnerable and open to the public. I’m glad he’s putting in the work and went to the best of the best to get the proper help. I have no doubt he will do whatever you tell him to. He’s def a man of his word and has the motivation and desire to recover. He is a fighter and refuses to let anything hold him down. I really hope you continue to show his progress so people can see this isn’t a quick fix. A stunt like this can cause lifelong injuries and Jeff is lucky to have survived. But this will give hope to a lot of people who have injuries and didn’t know recovery was possible.

[@brookerainn]

Damage to the frontal part of the brain is the major area associated with "personality" which could also be why Jeff is feeling so different after the accident. I hope you have a great recovery!
