Are you calling me a liar? I will never forget the image of a boy with an eraser shaped head on the Oprah Winfrey show. The show was about miracles, and of all the stories, that is one to remember. If I remember correctly, they might have had a doctor on there to testify about the fact that it was a medical mystery. At least one half of the frontal lobe was gone, and I believe there was only part of the other half remaining. His skull was slanted inward to such a degree that there really couldn't be much there. If anyone has a link it would be greatly appreciated.

She's a showboat and this was a heart tug episode. I asked spesific question, which I would have asked any docs that showed up on the show. If they actually said what you repeated, I would have exposed them as quacks.

"If I remember correctly, they might have had a doctor on there to testify about the fact that it was a medical mystery.

A real doc would not have played along with heart string and miricle con.

At least one half of the frontal lobe was gone, and I believe there was only part of the other half remaining. His skull was slanted inward to such a degree that there really couldn't be much there.

There was a lot there. Most of the brain was still intact. There was no critical damage done and the slant was, because of the missing and destroyed bone. It sounds like a partial frontal lobotomy. A full frontal would have left the patient unable to concentrate and organize thoughts. was evidently enough of this region left to provide function.

"Are you calling me a liar? "I don't believe you're familiar with neurophysiology and the funtioning of brain regiions at all. I believe you were led on by a Hollywood showboat and inept docs playing a con.
