Süžeeskeem Tekst
- In 1848, a major accident changed the understanding of the brain forever. In 1848, there was a young man named Phineas Gage. He was a 29-year-old man who lived in Cavendish, Vermont, and worked on building railroads. He is about to experience what docotrs debate as the luckiest or unluckiest day of his life.
- The tamping iron went through his head and landed 2 to 30 yards away from him. Then he was passed out for several minutes.
- Phineas Gage's workers would dig a hole, and fill it with gunpowder and sand. The gumpowder would be at the bottom and the sand would be on top. A long rope would be put into the hole with the end of it in the gunpowder so it could ignite the explosion. The tamping iron would be put into some machine to start a spark then Phineas would run.
- When he arrived at his home about half an hour later he was examined by a doctor. The doctor thought he wouldn't last much longer, because his head was busted open. He threw up enough brains to fill up a teacup.
- One day phineas Gage was working and all of a sudden he got distracted. He must have accidentally ignited the gunpowder, because it blew upand sent the tamping iron flying.
- He woke up moments later and started talking. Everyone was probably very confused. They got a carrige to take hime to his home so he could get checked out by a doctor.
