WHOA..is this for real

well i can understand why they kept him awake during this surgery, i think they needed to see what part of his brain fuinctioned properly, so that's why they allowed him to use the banjo...LOL...it's awesome isn't it....hang on, did you say a cat loves crack??????now that i have got to see, i will go to your profile when i am done here, this is so crazy, a man having surgery while playing a banjo, next they will have gospel choirs in there next...LMAO....

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOK now i'm with ya....LOL...that was soooooo funny, that's some crack they have there i must say, i see that you love cats too, i have 2 and they are so sweet, i have a video of Lottie trying to catch her own reflection, i must post it here fr you to see, it's so funny, thanks for the vi, it was so sweet and them little kittens are adorable...i love them....thankyou for sharing...LOL....

http://s395.photobucket.c... is my kitten Lottie trying to catch her reflection in the mirror....

AAAWWW{{Tatty}} little Lottie is just ADORABLE!!! so funny playing with
herself on the mirror...LOLOLOL!!

she reminds me of my Screamer at that young age, always into something
chewing on the mirror, "peaking" at herself LOL! How did you film
it and not die of laughter?

thank you so much for sharing that video very very cute!!!

love the name too, my black cat is named Screamer if You've not ever
seen or heard me talk about her, she is my baby and when she was born
she came out (SCREAMING BLOODY MURDER) she has a high pitched MEOW!!!
thanks again and give little lottie a big old hug from
her Aunt Jan Jan and Screamer...

that's a great name for a cat isn't it...screamer...LOL...i got my kittens name from my good mylot friend Tamarafireheart, she suggested we make her the mylot mascot and call her Lottie after mylot, makes sense, right? so that's what i did, she really suits her name and she is sooooooo cheeky, it was fun filming her that morning, she was in play mode so i didn't want to disturb her, i have lots of films of her in action, running after Max my other cat, they get on so well and are so funny when they get started...thanks also for sharing your lovely vid of them 2 kittens under the door, that was so much fun to watch....

oh, by the way, hugs delivered and received....LOL.....

I had to butt in here because the name 'Screamer' just jumped out at me. One of my dog's pups name was Screamer, too!

She had 4 puppies and I kind of named them, temporarily, until they went to their new homes. I had 'Big Guy' because he was HUGE, 'Lilly' whom I kept, 'Larry' whom my husband named (I have NO idea where he got THAT name from!) and 'Screamer'.

I named him Screamer because he used to literally scream when he pooped! It scared me so badly I took the little fella to the vets to have him checked out. He didn't seem constipated or anything. The vet said he was fine. He was very high-strung and it probably scared him when he pooped! Strange little dog! LOL

The gal I gave him to kept the name for awhile. She worked at the vet's and, since his papers had 'Screamer' as his name, she called him that for awhile. I forgot what she changed it to, though.

yes it is awesome isn't it? they have to keep them awake to see if they are doing the right thing, i guess one way of doing this is to allow him to play to see if they are touching the right parts of his brain, unbelieveable....

well i know that i would be too scared to even stay awake during a surgery like that, even when i was having a tooth pulled i wanted to be out cold...LOL...but playing a banjo while awake during BRAIN SURGERY is definitely another thing...LOL...

yes i have heard about people being aake during brain surgery, they need to detect the part of the brain that is obstructing, so they need to keep them awake, i think it was funny seeing this guy playing his banjo though, so original...

Hi Gem, we don't get to see the gore or anything like that thank goodness, it's just him playing a banjo while having surgery, it's amazing what these doctors can do these days isn't it?

No there's no blood at all, you can't even see what they are doing, all they are showing is him laying there playing a banjo, trust me, you can see nothing but this guy playing a happy tune....LOL...no blood or guts anywhere....

I can imagine what they were doing with the guy .... I will watch that video but I have to get a lot of courage.........

well if you are squeemish, then there's no need to worry because you cannot see anything apart from this guy talking to the doctor and playing his banjo, but i won't force you to watch it if you don't like that sort of thing...

isn't it amazing Oreo the way things are done in this day and age, i just couldn't believe it when i saw this guy plucking away on his banjo....pretty cool if you ask me...

LOL ok Mands...i get what ya mean....LOL....

I just read some of the other responses here. I've known a lot of people who can't watching things like surgeries, or even be comfortable visiting anyone in the hospital. I'm definitely NOT one of them.

I LOVE watching operations on TV! I don't like blood and guts-type movies, but give me a surgery to watch and I'm there! I find the human body fascinating and am always amazed at what doctors can do these days. Maybe it stems from me having had so many surgeries of my own and having been awake through a few of them, I don't know. My husband gets a little queasy and doesn't like to watch them so it's a good thing we have separate TVs!

Oops, I meant "can't STAND watching..." not "can't watching..." Geesh. Sorry!

oh i am the same mental, i dont do blood and guts but i do watch them shows if you cannot see anything, i was amazed to see him laying there playing away on that banjo....awesome

he had this disorder that made his hands tremor, so there was part of his brain that was making that happen, so what they were doing was touching certain parts of his brain to see what was making him shake, that's why he had his banjo...it's amaxing isn't it?
