Because your brain has no pain receptors, brain surgery is sometimes performed while the patient is awake (and often even talking).
It sounds like something from a horror film, but keeping the patient awake and responsive during brain surgery can actually be a much safer way to operate because the surgeons can ensure they're not causing any significant damage. Still, it's a pretty scary thought.

Brain surgery is done while the patient is semi awake, yes they are talking and doing things, but they don't remember the sedition they are giving is so they don't remember everything.
I should know I'm a surgical tech.

Melinda,
So, you're semi awake and rebelling against the government? lol I know it's just a typo and that you meant to type "sedation", but the thought of "sedition" that you don't remember was too funny to pass up! It's a shame that there's no way we can go back and change our errors. Heaven knows I'm made my share and then notice it when it's too late!

Percy, I swear that was a real error on my part and not done on purpose. I'm sure that some won't believe it, but I didn't notice that I typed "I'm" when I meant to type "I've" until it was too late. But, it does go to prove my point!
