More amazingly he opened his eyes, was able to speak and walk after his accident to a nearby cart taking him to see a doctor about 45 min. away. The doctor that seen Phineas Gage on that day was Dr. John Martyn Harlow, on his assessment Phineas was still conscious he had a regular heartbeat with both of his pupils reacting normally to the light but what was crazy about it that when he got up he vomited about 1/2 of teacup of brain which fell to the floor.

At one point of time the doctor drained 8 fluid ounce of pus from an abscess under Gages scalp which would otherwise leaked into his brain.

After answering a few more of the officer’s questions I was transported to Umass Medical, A Medical University in Worcester, Massachusetts. It took doctors a total of 14 hours and 2 operations to put my hand to the way it is now. I am missing my middle finger all the way down to my wrist and the tip of my ring finger. I also have massive scaring on my hand, arm, and foot (the doctors took a vein out of my foot to replace one in my arm that was badly damaged); all from one little firecracker. The moral of this story is simple don’t play with things you don’t know anything about, and whatever you do don’t play with
However, the Pentium flaw was very different. It caused incorrect answers when preforming double-precision arithmetic and was easily detected by the users. The first time that it was noticed, was by a university researcher. He noticed that the results of some of his calculations were incorrect. They began to do test on whether or not the microprocessor was flawed.
I never knew all the different types of treatments and therapy that my friend went through before she passed way in 2005, until I read more about it for my paper. While researching all this information I really wish the newer drug Kalydeco was approved while my friend was still alive. Even with some of the common side effects I really believe my friend would be still here today and would have lived passed 37. Overall, I really enjoyed looking up this information and writing this paper I feel I know a little more about this disease and understand the different symptoms as well. References Lauren B.

On February 20, 1943, a farmer near the town of paricutin was startled by a column of column of smoke rising from the middle of his cornfield. Thinking he had somehow started a fire, he rushed to pu it out, he found out that the smoke was coming from a small hole in the ground, not from an open fire. The farmer thought about how for a moment to smother he fire, and he decided to plug the hole with a rock. Later, when he checced back, he was alarmed by the increased escape of dense, black smoke. Recalling that the ground trembled recently, and noticing that the soil felt hot under his bare feet, he hurried to town to tell the mayor and to bring some people back with him.
The cross-communication and the many reciprocal interconnections suggest that the prefrontal cortex is the central executive or supervisory attention site in the brain. Clinical observations of patients with damage to their prefrontal cortex; shows clearly unimpaired basic sensory motor task and on conventional intelligences test. The areas that were noticed to show loss of skills were indicated in higher-order cognitive functioning, planning, attention shifting and the speed of the mental process; psychological developments showed personality changes (Palk, 1998). Phineas Gage Fact and Fiction The known facts about the tragic case of Phineas Gage: Phineas was a 25 year old healthy man who worked as a foreman for a railroad construction company. Phineas was in charge of placement of the explosive charges drilled into the bed rock and at that time in history “explosive technician”, meant the smartest and bravest man on the job.
Rock dusting is the applying of pulverized stone to the walls and roofs of the passage ways, which would have killed the explosions by throwing a cloud of rock dust that is incombustible into the air with coal dust. Why weren’t any methods like that implemented if it was known for more than twenty-five years prior to the incident and it was known about the mine being
It just so happened that the person in the bathroom was a former patient of Crowe whom he treated for hallucinations. The patient by the name of Vincent was angry because he felt Crowe had led him to believe he would help him, yet he had not. Vincent kept repeating, “I want what you promised me,” “I don’t want to be afraid anymore,” which indicates to me that Crowe influenced his thoughts in some kind of way. One can come to the conclusion the Vincent is a mentally ill patient just by looking at him. Vincent’s behavior leads me to believe that he has a touch of psychosis.
