The Clarinet BBoard

Re: in the news- playing clarinet while undergoing brain surgery

Author: SecondTry  Date:   2025-10-27 02:25 My daughter is studying to be a neurologist. Apparently there are anesthesiologists who specialize in nervous system surgeries she tells me, where it is common for patients to be given agents such that they are pain free, conscience during surgery so they can be interrogated as to the effect someone working in their brain is having, and yet for some brain surgeries, depending by design on the agents administered, have limited recall of the procedure so as to ease the emotional trauma of it. For all the brain registers pain in other parts the body, I am to understand that once the obstacles to reaching the brain are overcome--which could be quite painful without anesthetizing agents, the organ itself is void of neuroreceptors to pain.
