Oh my god.
They would do fundraisers for her.
So to kinda like bring it back to what we're talking about, yeah, there's people who have epilepsy that's so bad that drilling a hole in your head can seem like shit, if that's gonna stop this, I'll give it a shot.
She was having seizures constantly.
Yeah.
Yes.
really bad epilepsy where you're like, you know what?
Drill a hole in my head.

Sometimes in tribal societies, people would keep the bones as an amulet.
It was believed it could ward off evil spirits.
