I especially like the part about artists, musicians and scientific workers as having "excitable mentalities." I'll remember that when I pre-op!

yah i thought that was funny as hell!

OMG! Hillarious. The spinal tap thing for the headache...and the thick black hair indicating a tendency toward hysterical behavior...

Is this your book Mike? Please share more. And way to go getting the pages to show up so clear and cool like that.

Haha. Probably written by a Doctor for Doctors. Spinal headaches can usually be relieved by doing another spinal tap and removing 10-15cc of CSF. really? I wonder how many times they actually got this one to work.

Doesn't it make you wonder though, those things that are now state of the science/art.... what will people think about them in fifty years? Will our practices today seem totally goofy then? That really was an amusing read Mike. Good find!

Probably every single time. Not a single patient had a h/a 7-10 days after their LP! :pound:
