The English Surgeon
A good documentary does more to stimulate my mind than the best fictional films. The English Surgeon is above and beyond a spectacular documentary. Most scriptwriters couldn't dare compete with the sheer drama and uncomfortable tension filmmaker Geoffrey Smith captures in his real-life story of English neurosurgeon Henry Marsh, who became fed up with the inability of Ukrainian doctors to treat patients in need of brain operations and decided to do something about it. When a young Ukrainian man needs an operation to remove a tumor in his brain, Doctor Smith is his only hope for long-term survival. Unfortunately for this patient, modern luxuries are nowhere to be found in modern-day Ukraine and the only the way the operation can move forward is by using nothing but local anesthetics to reduce the pain of drilling thru the scull and scraping away the cancerous cells growing on his brain--In other words, doing the entire operation while completely awake and conscious. Beyond the unbelievable situations throughout the film, the simple message of humanitarianism shines. In today's consumerist smorgasbord of a world we live in, it can be easy to forget the simple things that make being a fellow human being a rewarding experience. This film helps remind us. -Clayton Hauck
Brain Stuff.
(itunes link, web link)
HowStuffWorks.com offers a nice variety of interesting podcasts but the first one I stumbled upon was Brain Stuff. It's a short but sweet look into, well, how stuff works. Each podcast gives a straight and to-the-point explaination on a wide variety of topics of which you are sure to find a few that interest you.
Facebook seems to enjoy fostering creepy habbits on the internet. Lately I have been recieving updates on people whom I am not friends with, but exist somewhere beyond in the relem of friends of friends of friends. ANYWAY- I saw an update that this dude, Justin Hager, added new photos to his doodle album. They made me totally forget that I was lurking on a starngers page and smile.
