People have hobbies, y'know.

I honestly find it fascinating how the history of surgery finds roots in neurological surgery, yet it's probably one of the least understood surgical fields with plenty of things still requiring in-depth research.

That’s WILD that one of the first surgeries was such an extreme one. Great video y’all! Stoked for more history videos

Thanks dude!

My fascination with history and medicine fits so nicely with aspirations for neurosurgery. Cannot wait for more of this series!

Very interesting stuff. Some courses in university have convinced me that dividing history into some epochs is misleading, it's more like a flowing river. Medicine is one of the best examples I guess. Very grateful that this channel exists

You're right. We've especially found it difficult with the 20th century, Roman and Greek periods. This was simply the best way to divide it for KZread.

Just opened this video to say that while I don't currently have time to be watching the history of weird medical techniques, I am glad that this sort of content exists! Thanks for making it ^_^

Great video! Its amazing how all begin and how in the present times ist a meticulous procedure. This is going to be a great journey!

Thank you for all medicine oriented videos:) I love watching them; thank you

A very interesting journey Dr. Freeman. Understanding the treatments is understanding how people in the past believe how we humans are constituted. The same reasoning can be apply to contemporaneous therapeutics practices. Let me put my Indiana Jones hat and let's begin the adventure!!

A question that came to mind: how much of studying biology/medicine is focused on its history? Like if you specialize into Neurosurgery, do you learn about the history as well and did you enjoy it? Sorry if that's too much to answer

Great! Next week is Egyptian Neurosurgery!

I'm trying to imagine what inspired the very first attempt at this procedure, what would have lead that person to believe that creating a hole in the skull would help recovery? Were they inspired by treatment of other injuries such as creating a hole in the nail of a bruised finger to release the pressure? *This* is what I find fascinating about history, trying to get into the head of the innovators. Great video, I've seen a few things about this practice but never heard of that theory on its use before.

The difference is finger can enlarge if under pressure because it's skin and flesh whereas if the brain is swelling it can't go pass the skull/bone so then pressure builds up without anywhere to go. This seems bizarre but in such case drilling a hole really helped, even today in modern medicine such practice is applied when brain swells.

quite interesting! Looking forward to the next from Japan.

LOVE IT!!

Thanks you :) Interesting, neurosurgery is one of the oldest surgery profession in the world, but still, in XX century neurosurgery, among all others surgery subspecialties, become separate surgery profession latest.

Very informative. The concussion/knockout theory seems sound to me. Great production value.

Interesting!

Thoroughly interesting. Thank you. Please remember, however, that your encouragements to explore the content of your videos in further reading would be better supported with some suggestions of what to read. Journal articles, books, etc.

Homunculus

I had to have part of my skull out for 6 months...it was very interesting

As a 6 year old child I had two head concussions which left me with two calcification on my forehead like horns as I could not handle the ice to keep swelling down.. Since this happened as a 6 year old I have felt high all my life

My theory for why they did this is head congestion. When I become sick then my congestion starts I feel like my brain what's to push its self out of my head & putting something on my skull to release the pressure seems like it would help.

Pov: you read Homunculus in 1 night

trepanation is becoming a popular hobby

Doctor please speak about al zahrawi the father of modern surgery specifically neurosurgery. I too want to become a neurosurgeon thanks for inspiring more.

mandy knew what she was thinking when she saw this video

it's pretty evident that neolithic head injuries were sustained during intertribal warfare, the murder rate in hunter gatherers was about 3% per annum, which is crazy really. That's according to Stephen Pinker. To assume they were sustained during the hunting of rabbits, birds, warthogs etc is a bit of a blind alley.

@PsychicIsaacs

They weren't just hunting rabbits. They were hunting mammoths, mastodons, giant elk, horses, aurochs, wooly rhinos etc and these are all large and dangerous animals.

the stock footage for this video must have cost a fortune

Ill give it a crack tomorrow.

👍

The trial and error of this must've been a disaster

10% of skulls in that group had holes? Wow that's crszy@

Thank you for the very interesting video, but you can't call something that is man-made primordial.

I am not convinced that the main reason why more men that women required trepanation was due to trauma sustained while hunting. Yes, there is more likelihood of trauma while hunting but I have not heard of any evidence that the trepanned skulls also showed signs of animal attacks such as tooth marks in the area requiring trepanation. Men fight each other, over territory, over food and over women. Still today fighting is a major cause of head injury.

I learnt this from reading evil archeology strangely enough

When was trepanation used for mental illness though? For the stone age at least that can only be speculation
