In this episode we look at a famous tale of survival. Phineas Gage was a railroad worker in the mid 1800's who, while tamping an explosive, inadvertently ignited the blasting powder sending an iron bar up through, and out the top of, his skull. Amazingly he survived. BUT there were, of course, major damage which saw him vomiting up parts of his own brain and growing a fungus on what was left.... This one isn't for the feint of heart!
