Can you feel pain if your brain has been pierced with a bayonet?

"Hunt said that after receiving a shot of morphine to kill the pain, he joked that it was "a Kodak moment" and suggested someone get a photo of his injury."

The nerves in the brain aren't capable of feeling pain. Its just the hole in your head leading to the brain that you need to worry about.

I meant more like "Aren't your brain functions probably impaired by being stabbed in the brain to the point that, in fact, being stabbed in the brain doesn't have to hurt?"

But what do I know? I'm just a simple rocket scientist.

Gotcha. I think it'd just depend on where the hole was. Different parts do different things, but I'm just a rocket surgeon.

Anyone ever heard of Phineas Gage?

http://www.epub.org.br/cm/n02/historia/phineas6.gif

Phineas Gage was a young railroad construction supervisor in the Rutland and Burland Railroad site, in Vermont. In September 1848, while preparing a powder charge for blasting a rock, he inadvertently tamped a steel rod into the hole. The ensuing explosion projected the tamping rod, with 2.5 cm of diameter and more than one meter of lenght against his skull, at a high speed. (editorial comment: D'Oh!) The rod entered his head trhough his left cheek, destroyed his eye, traversed the frontal part of the brain, and left the top of the skull at the other side. Gage lost consciousness immediately and started to have convulsions. However, he recovered conscience moments later, and was taken to a local doctor, Jonh Harlow, who took care of him. Amazingly, he was talking and could walk. He lost a lot of blood, but after a bout with infection, he not only survived to the ghastly lesion, but recovered well, too.

After the accident, however, Gage began to have startling changes in personality in mood. He became extravagant and anti-social, a fullmouth and a liar with bad manners, and could no longer hold a job or plan his future. _"Gage was no longer Gage", said his friends of him. He died in 1861, thirtheen years after the accident, penniless and epileptic

^ I read about him. apparently he was the first person to live through a frontal lobotomy. The rod only knocked out his left frontal lobe, which was the cause of the behavorial change.

I bet that hurt.

The eyes can feel pain, however, and the stress of knowing that you have a sawzall blade going through your eye and into your brain...priceless.

I think I dated him.
