The conversation between the brain surgeon mother and her 13-year-old non-brain surgeon kid may have gone something like this. Kid, hey, mom, are you sure you want me to use a drill for the first time on a living person? Maybe I should start somewhere low stakes like the foot? Mom, nah, do the skull. Kid, hey, by the way, who is this guy? Mom, you can ask him when, I mean if, he wakes up.

Brain surgery can be a tricky thing. And that's true even if you are a brain surgeon. But it's especially true if you are the 13-year-old child of a brain surgeon and your mom hands you the drill. This was the nightmare scenario that played out during a patient's brain surgery in the Austrian city of Graz last January. Thankfully, the doctor was fired. But how was this ever allowed to happen?

The chaos began with an innocent request from Virgin Airlines' corporate office.

The multi-instrumentalist Robert McMagnus, who records under the alias McMadness, went to work producing as many demos as he could.
