Intercerebral brain hemorrhage

I remember that, Kluurs. Awful.

About that video:

Somehow it feels wrong to cut into a brain. I feel pain just by watching it.

@kluurs , I remember that as well. What a horrible experience.

On a somewhat related note, here's what it looks like in the OR:

Thanks, @George-K . Surgeon intentionally left hemostatic mesh thingie in the brain, did not see that coming.

Most of the time on an autopsy, we sliced them like meatloaf.

BTW, Ax, you scramble brains and eggs for breakfast.

Yup. Usually sagittal sections, not coronal.

Mik will cook it.

(oh, and BTW, I can't use the imojis as the panel is too low on the page, and I can't move it up. Anyone else have this issue?)

Or, Mik will smoke it, fry it, bake it. serve it raw with crackers. . .

Oh, so World Redhead Day is over and it's open season on Mik again, eh?

See how YOU are.

Nah, brains are hard to come by in my neck of the woods, too precious to be mixed up with eggs and lose its authentic taste and texture in a scramble.

I was offered beef brains (or was it goat brains) at a Pakistani restaurant once. I passed.

Thanks for the video George. I didn't realize the hematoma would be globular and gelatinous; I expected it to be more fluid-like. Interesting.

My father-in-law died of this over 20 years ago. Went to take a nap and never woke up. As far as deaths go, you couldn't get better than that. But it was horrible for the family because he was relatively young and healthy. The autopsy revealed he had a ruptured aneurysm.

When I was around 16, driving home with a friend, a car came around the corner, veered off the road, went end-over-end, and then rolled several times. We were first on the scene. One guy was thrown out of the car, and the car rolled over him. His brain was exposed and partially mushed on the ground. His brother had a broken arm plus other injuries, and kept telling us to do CPR.
Maybe that's why I find the posted video unsettling. Brings back memories. It's creepy stuff for me, but I had to watch it.

And Ax, you're a sick puppy for all the recipes. haha pretend imoji pretend imoji.
