NO HELICOPTER WAS AVAILABLE --- in 1848 for this survivor of an iron bar through the head, as his work crew blasted rock for a railroad bed in Vermont.
The tamping iron bar was -
* 1+1⁄4 inches (3.2 cm) in diameter,
* three feet seven inches (1.1 m) long, and
* weighed 13+1⁄4 pounds (6.0 kg).
It entered the left side of his face, passed behind left eye, through left side of brain, then completely out the top of skull.
After med. treatment & 4 yr. recovery, he was employed as a stagecoach driver and in other jobs & survived 12 yrs.
It was an early case suggesting the brain's role in determining personality, and that damage to specific parts of the brain might induce specific mental changes.
"Phineas P. Gage (1823–1860) was an American railroad construction foreman remembered for his improbable... survival of an accident in which a large iron rod was driven completely through his head, destroying much of his brain's left frontal lobe, and for that injury's reported effects on his personality and behavior over the remaining 12 years of his life...."
