I almost forgot about Multimedia Friday!
Here's some brain surgery! [edit by Sandra - the procedure in the video is removal of a Hydatid cyst. It's a tapeworm, eww!]
Hahaha.... soooo cheezy. Wilder Penfield - the greatest Canadian alive!

This video is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen on YouTube. It shows the oh-so-careful surgical removal of an egg-sized cyst (intact) from a person's brain. The cyst is a hydatid cyst, which is the result of a parasitic infection by tapeworm larvae(Echinococcus).

I edited in a link about the surgery: it's a tapeworm.

The head, yes. A brain tapeworm. *shudder*
