Brain Surgery Reddit Photos
Share
Sam Parr shares a story about getting photos taken during his brain surgery to share on Reddit.
"I had a ping pong ball sized thing growing on my brain and had to get surgery in 2014 to get it taken out. Right before I went under, I went to the surgeon and said 'Hey man, do you have your iPhone on you?' He said yeah, and I asked 'Can you save my number and take some pictures when I'm under so you can get some before, after, and during pics of the surgery so I could post it on r/popping?'
He did it - he texted me these beautiful photos of this growth being popped and scraped off my brain. I posted it on that subreddit and got like 80,000 views on my photo album. The surgeon also cut some fat from my stomach and puttied it into the hole. I woke up and my stomach was hurting - I asked 'I thought you were gonna take it from my leg?' He said 'No, your leg was pretty muscular so we just took some off your stomach - you had a lot there.'"
