Comments on: Teen listens to iPod during brain tumor removal

Doctors had to keep Gavin Brooke, an 18-year-old from the United Kingdom, awake during a six-hour brain surgery. So he listened to his iPod.

Chris, you are one sick puppy... I love it!

[ChrisMatyszczyk]

You are very kind, jpmays.

Sickness comes in many forms. And I have been told that mine will, one day, be studied by science.

I trust your day is bringing you some kind of joy...

"I have a good and bad news for you"

"Good news first, doc!"

"Your condition will be named after you"

That's the good news? And what's the bad news?:)

the bad news is that he's got a condition.

it was funny.

The bad news doesn't need to be explained, unless you don't get the joke.

I'd have goen with Comfortable Numb for my first song...

Hmm...I guess Weird Al's parody, "Like a Surgeon", wouldn't have been as appropriate since this was the second brain op they did on him.

I might have included Jonathan Coultan's "Re: Your Brains"

Or, perhaps, I would have asked for a video screen and rewatched the scene in Heroes where Sylar inspects Claire's brains. Oh, my, if video were allowed, I could think of a ton of (in)appropriate things to play...

Read about brain tumor symptoms such as headaches, nausea or vomiting, balance and walking problems, mood and personality changes, memory problems, and numbness or tingling in the legs.
