“The fact that he stops counting tells the doctor to not remove that”... I DIED😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

The team of doctors who did it should receive awards 💯

Honestly. i was expecting an inside out joke from this xDD "Do you ever look at someone and wonder what is going on inside THEIR head"

this surgery has motivated me to study harder and become a neurosurgeon

Reminds me of a similar scene I saw years ago, they asked the patient to count up to 20 as they start working, he goes "1, 2, 3, 4, 5..." then starts making unintelligible noises rather than the words... then "...13, 14, 15". He had no idea he wasn't saying the numbers.

This is crazy. The surgeon is talking to his patient during the surgery

Too interesting, I can not wait to become a Doctor

Thts crazy hopefully he lives a long life

Can’t wait to become a surgeon. Who knows what amazing technology will be available by the time I get there

God bless this doctors

This is the heart of a doctor ....they are the heroes

Mind blowing, simply mind blowing, I know every generation has probably said this but I really do think we are living in the future

Doctors are angels on earth. How incredible.

I was in hospital recovering after having a couple of operations for brain aneurysms. A bloke was brought into the next bed and they pulled his curtains closed and explained that they were going to do this exact operation on him. I was in bed nearly vomiting while listening to them explaining the procedure to him. It reminded me of silence of the lambs. When they wheeled him back after a few hours he was totally conscious and we chatted all night. I was amazed by how well he was.

We’re praying for you Ben. Hang in there mate. You’ll definitely overcome and defeat this. Best of health & blessings! Cheers from Margaret River, Western Australia!

Thank you Ben for your willingness to help and hopefully save many lives in the future. I also hope God's blessing continues and allows you and your wife many years of life and love together. You are an inspiration. 🙏🏽💪🏽

i just want to cry whenever i watch any surgeries...

Everyone's talking about how Doctors did a excellent job (which they did) but you must really have to see this.... Surgeries like these are almost near death experiences for that person & absolutely shattering to the spouse and family members. You must understand this, Intense events like this can really change that person's entire outlook on life right from the core values, it can change the entire perspective on life almost like a rebirth. I applaud that person and his wife and whoever out there being supportive & strong throughout these critical phases. Amen ❤🙏

Very interesting the folks at Addenbrooke’s are going to be doing the same type of surgery on me in April. 😊👍🏻

Completely Amazed by the Confidence of the patient... hope he does well post surgery and achieves in life....

When the tumor comes back in the future they have less to worry. The surgery will be easier and much more effective

Respect to the doctors and to the staff for doing an outstanding job! My dream was to become a surgeon but I gave up because my hands shake either when I’m nervous or not and I can see myself not thinking straight when doing a surgery. I’m afraid of the thought that I might kill someone because of my condition.

11 yrs ago when I underwent Open heart Awake Surgery for Aortic valve replacement at Fortis Hospital Bangalore, India (they said it was First of its kind). I was happy to hope that many more amazing surgeries would follow in Medical Science blessed by God Almighty. These 11 yrs looked a short time till date.. enjoying a healthy lifestyle

This is scary, I’m so happy I’m here in relatively good health.

That’s scary, I would never want me skull cut open

A friend of mine had a brain tumor. I told her to imagine that she's at the front of the train, and every carriage is filled with family and friends. We're traveling with you on this journey.

Doctors are heroes

I thought I was super unlucky to be having a surgery for a metal plate on my arm, of which the incision was about 4-6 centimetres. While this was happening, I was under very strong anaesthesia and I didn’t even have to get my cannula awake cause I was so scared. And here is this guy, having a brain surgery with a huge incision and he’s *awake* . I feel fairly fine...

I'm 15 and I really want to be a surgeon in the future. Save lives

Fascinating - and all the best to this lovely young couple

Hat's off to you Brother Ben.. You are a fighter and enjoy your life..

I had this surgery and I can say that you cannot feel any pain at all as I was under anesthesia and you need to be awake so that you can tell the surgeon if there is any pain or a problem like you cannot see. What hurts and it hurts a lot is the recovery time that it takes for the brain swelling to go down. The brain itself does not feel pain as there are no nerves in the brain the nerves surround the brain and since the brain is swollen and pressing up against the nerves and the skull which does not give or move at all it is all nerve on bone and that is what hurts so much as there is no relief at all until the swelling goes down. I had my surgery in the early 80's and side of my skull like in the video unlike some brain surgeries today that are done by a pin point Laser surgical cutting tool.

God Bless these doctors.

Oh wow!!! My master’s degree was about functional MRI and connectivity)) so proud

The doctors with emotions,science...technology advance equip.....all them making hero....god bless all doctor...

insane, respect to doctors and patient!

Oh my goodness I love smart people. I wonder if a neuroscientist feels like an alien.

When I had a brain surgery I wasn’t awake. But trust me, waking up after a 5 hour surgery is the worst feeling you can have. Waking up in the middle of the surgery and having to perform some tasks while the surgery is going on must be the icing on the biggest shit dump you can’t even imagine.

Great work

How skillful it is!

Glad this was reccomended to me

Wow.....just wow!

In 1977 they cut me ear to ear then cut a part of my left front scull to release the pressure and then work to get rid of the blood clot I wonder how they would do it now I thank the Western general in Edinburgh and mr JF SHAW and his team

God bless him 🙏.

everyone saying this makes them excited to ecome a doctor but all i see is enourmous responsibility and psychological pressure? imagine the guilt if something goes wrong, i could never

That’s bloody nerve racking

God bless him❤

this is unthinkable to me

This is just so interesting! Aah

This is absolutely amazing the surgeon literally turned his calculation part off for a second !!

Amazing

When the operation is a success the surgeon is a hero when it fails the surgeon is a villian

Impressed

Imagine already dealing with a brain tumor and then scientists show up and use you for experiments while you can’t really decline or go away…

That looks terrifying!! 😳

Poor guy but wish I could be a surgeon know wonder what in will use when I get there

Well done seriously

oooh God this is interesting and high level

I have had three brain surgeries and one of them I was awake for.

Awesome , that A1 B2 c3 that is difficult for not patient also good work there

Love and good luck

When I was 7 I had a brain tumour and I was operated on by Thomas Santarius. (The surgeon in the video). I wouldn't be typing this if it wasn't for him, he's a much bigger superhero than any DC or Marvel "superhero"

Brilliant

I wish i can watch a live surgery ... 🙏

One of my friends who just turned 13 found out he had on brain tumour

I would like to be a doctor but I just can’t handle the thought of messing up.

Bro was just too smart frfr

hope he gets better ben rush

My friend Lily was 21 when she had an brain injury because she choked on a small piece of pizza dough but she didn’t have seizures and she doesn’t have epilepsy. My best friend Weslyn has epilepsy

I am a medical student and want to become heart surgeon. But I really got scared by this kind surgery...

How does it not HURTTTT? Ouchhhh

Damn i would have a crazy panic attack

I had a craniotomy where I was half-awake. I don't remember it, but the surgeon said I was singing.

4:48 The guy in the middle, i remember him he was dissecting brains in a video..

Hoping to have a best prognosis for those who suffer glioblastoma. More technology and best way to get rid of this recurrence.

When your parents say you should be a doctor:

this has got me scared for my brain surgery I might need to get

Which place is this?

was it painful tho?

Whats the name of the tool that was shown by the Cambridge Neuroscientists

Wow.

My God Man

This is cool cuz now i know the brain has no pain receptors :D

Bro do they feel the intense amount of pain in the surgery because his brain is literally showing

Good

I was born in the Cambridge hospital!!!!

When i was 4 there was a video spreading on youtube and it was animated in the first 2 minutes and it was animated on the thumbnail and i was curious because i liked medical stuff and once it got to 2 minutes into the video it showed a clip of brain tumor surgery worst day of my life they showed the doctors opening and working on the head the worst part is 2 years later i played it as a game with my freind *sigh* the video was later removed from youtube but ii will never forget the day that came on my screen

Gosh at least I had this sleeping. Too many complications though it was a mess

Where place this doctor

can't wait to become an neurosurgeon im 13 years old

I can't understand why awake brain surgery is suddenly headline news - Wilder Penfield was doing it back in the 1930s.

Imagine the amount this would have cost

Fantastic (Manuel - Neuropsychologist)

is like checking voltage and bad components on a live ecu lol crazy

Brain talk about brain

Why can't I see surgery marks anywhere on his skull?

Awesome just intelligence can save lives

Is Cambridge university makes scientist.

How is this guy all right with the brain surgery being awake surely the surgery is really painful right? I would never let anyone do it awake

how is he not feeling pain
