    Trepanning (a hole in the head)

    Trepanning. The procedure where you drill a small hole into your skull (not your brain) to bring back a 'normal' equilibrium to your body. It's said to increase energy and higher consciousness due to increased blood flow. It's been around since before your gods were born (that's old! )

    It's NOT to remove demons (as was the popular view of the black ages). It's been used in many cultures at various times in our history.

    What are your views on it?

      My skull already has holes in it designed to allow air intake, food and water intake, sound intake and to fit eyeballs in. Exempting a surgeon needing direct access to my brain or to relieve pressure that is an imminent threat to my health, my skull doesn't need any more holes than it already has. Weird theories have their time and place but not when they involve poking new holes in my head.
      life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.

      Yoda: Dark Rendezvous

      "But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."

      John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

      "You come from the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve", said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth; be content."

      Aslan, Prince Caspian by CS Lewis

        And for surgeons to do this, I expect a ton of testing first---MRIs, CT scans, etc.

          One of the characters in the series "Dead Like Me" died drilling a hole in his skull, but I did see a film once where somebody actually trepanned herself:

          I'd avoid unnecessary surgery. But I'm not a big fan of bod mod, anyway...

          Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

            It's still done occasionally to deal with hematoma following skull injury. Greek medical texts suggest it was also done unnecessarily in an attempt to cure things like epilepsy; luckily the mortality rate was very low. I was astonished to read about crackpots who trepan themselves - ouch!

              I suspect a number of politicians have holes in their head. Probably the result of an anal transplant...

                  I already have issues with my brain (epilepsy). Don't need a drill to add to it.
