He has not been all there for years. With the latest removal, there is even less. Time for him to drop out.

What were the symptoms that led to the surgery ?

[neverevergiveup]

“Despite the cheery description, “minimally invasive craniotomy”, this was brain surgery, opening the skull and removing something from the Senator’s brain. Nothing simple or minimal about this. Otherwise neurosurgeons wouldn’t need many years of training to perform such delicate surgery.”

There are plenty of neurosurgical procedures that are delicate. This is not one of them. Nonetheless, the author is right that this is an intracranial procedure, and the clot itself was not something minor. If this clot was causing significant frontal lobe compression, it could affect behavior. Frontal lobe injuries can cause disinhibition. James Brady's gunshot injury involved his right frontal lobe, and it made it difficult for him to control his emotions.
