And it's a job I had up until last year, actually. I took the job right out of graduation at an inpatient neurology and neurosurgery ward at our hospital. So dealt with a ton of strokes, seizures, traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, brain cancer, spine cancer, anything like that. Really heavy, but got to see some pretty amazing stuff.

Regarding kind of where I'm from, we do have a really bad epidemic of gang violence here. Oh, really? Yeah, a lot of the prairies. And my hospital is the level one trauma center for our province, so we get to see it all. So you get to see some horrific, senseless acts of violence and assaults. Really sad, really awful, but medically, I got to say, you get to see some pretty cool stuff.

So I worked that job for six years. And to this day, the patient I'm going to tell you about is probably the most wild patient I've ever seen. So this man, a middle-aged guy, he was an ex-con who was beaten head with a hammer. Oh. When the swelling is really bad in the brain, the surgeons will take off a piece of their skull to let the brain swell and heal because otherwise it'll herniate.

So usually when that happens, we see it all the time, take off usually a front piece, a side piece. If the person's walking around or doing therapy, they must have this helmet on at all times, obviously, because if they are to fall and hit their head, there's nothing protecting their soft, squishy brain.

So this man in particular, just the location of his injury was the back of his head, kind of on like the nape of his neck.

because it was at the very back part of his head and because he was so wild and agitated he had to wear this helmet for 24 hours a day seven days a week in bed kind of picture like a hockey helmet that's hard foam trigger warning we have to restrain heavily a ton of our patients that might bother some people it's for their safety it's for our safety it's temporary they have tubes they can pull out they have such varied levels of awareness of what's going on they just rip everything out they

can and do hurt themselves all the time. So this man was also heavily restrained, depending on the level of their injury and kind of where they are in their recovery. You can't rationalize with them. You can't reason with them. They can't speak when they can speak. Their first and only words are always, fuck you. Uh-huh. That was the case of this man.
