The Wellcome Trust is putting its archive of medical films online which includes some fascinating footage of some 1933 neurosurgery to remove a tumour from the frontal lobe. The film says the tumour is a tuberculoma. While we typically link tumours to cancer, the name also refers to other types of abnormal growths.
In this case, it’s an abnormal growth caused when tuberculosis (TB) reaches the brain and leads to an infected mass that can have a similar effect – damaging the cortex by taking up space where the brain should be.
Even though it is in black and white – this is not for the squeamish in any way!!!

Now I am questioning why I clicked on this link and watched that at this god forsaken hour, and the only answer I can find is that Phyllis told me to. Hmmmm. i think Derren would have fun with my suggestability.
That is fascinating. Thank you so much for putting it up! I’m amazed. Didn’t even throw up the night before last’s curry watching it, I was so entranced! Ha ha.
MINDFREAK! MINDFREAK!!
Fascinating, I agree , but I couldn\’t watch it all. I don\’t know, for some strange reason watching this in b&w was worse than in colour.
Amazing to think this was as far back as 1933 though….

Halfway through this video, I realised that I was twisting my face together in both hands, whilst making strange noises. I guess that makes me squeamish too.
Hm .. a more simple one … the dentists .. (oh well .. I would not call them dentists but hey ) from back then … Undergoing those type of things … Pulling teeth out without anesthesia … Ai …
We should not focus too much on the old days surgeons … Most are way too happy that we aren’t there anymore. Good for horror movies now and then though. If you can focus the proper way that is, to see the horror of it … feel it … It’s a talent, a gift .. Some dont have that anymore inside nowadays.
I know what’s taking up space where my brain should be…
Ms G, I saw a bit of horror, as I told Philis, but SOMEONE isn’t talking to me any more. *Sighs
