Have any of you ever heard of Phineas Gage? He was a man who ran a steel rod through his head in 1848 and lived to tell about it. True story.

Wow I haven't heard of that, where can I learn more? Was this on purpose or some kind of experiment? I'd love to hear how they treated this wound, I am fascinated by early medicine.

I have never heard of him but that is nuts. Were they able to remove it or did he live with it in his head? How long after the injury did he die?
