It makes sense that this is way to relieve pressure. Let me know if it works.

Before I go clicking unknown links, can you give some short summary. Pressure inside what? Is this a webpage, a video, what?
Established Member
The pressure inside your head. (That fear -it tells me you have some.) It's a webpage. Cut a hole to relieve the pressure. What could be simpler?

I'm just guessing from the title that this is dealing with trepanation. AFAIK it's an accepted medical procedure, and has been used for millennia, literally, to relieve pressure on the brain from blood clots (like after having your skull smashed with a club). Any use beyond that should be viewed with a lot of skepticism.

I prefer tylenol, but it also starts with a "T".

I prefer to not make too many holes in my head... enough air blows through the ones already there...

I mean: has any forum member tried this yet?

I don't have a medical condition for which trepanation is a reasonable solution.

And for a lot of people, the hole could also be used for implantation purposes.

Apparently, that's not a requirement..."How much is it?"...The hypothesis here at ITAG has been that making a opening in the skull favorably alters movement of blood through the brain and improves brain functions which are more important than ever before in history to adapt to an ever more rapidly changing world.
The supposition here at ITAG has been that every advantage should be available to anyone choosing to retain and improve their mental functions through their life span and thus assure their fullest participation in this one certain life, for their own well being and for the well being of the entire world population....You really don't remember...

Surgical burr holes are an emergency department technique to relieve the pressure of haematoma on the brain following a traumatic head injury. Such operations are (when necessary) conducted by qualified personnel in emergency situations, where to take no action would be life threatening to the patient. They are closely tended afterward, especially with a view to monitoring intracranial pressures and to prevent infection of the wound.
I have heard of people who have practiced trepanning or had it done to themselves in... shall we say, less clinical conditions. The recipients of such treatment are, as a rule, uninsurable...
btw - the 'pressure' relieved by this treatment is not the sort of pressure caused by a demanding boss, your girlfriend leaving you and a late rent payment. If you think otherwise, then sadly after treatment you will still have had a tough day at work, a cold bed and a landlord threatening eviction, but now you'll have a hole in your head as well. This is not a good thing to have!

I need this like I need a hole in my h... nevermind.This is not a good thing to have!

Sounds like an ad to me. Where are the mods?

Is this a serious question? Or are you joking?

Would anyone on this forum ever resort to joking ?Is this a serious question? Or are you joking?
(Of course, I'm joking! But I don't think that website is joking.)
Moderator
I think that happened once. The mods probably moved the post. The scary things is that those sort of websites have been put forward in all seriousness. And with a new poster one cannot always tell.

Well I think this shows why we may need smilies.
Order of Kilopi
Definitely. That's one of the problems of reading the ATM and CT forums. There are quite a number of instances I've asked if a new poster was joking when they presented an absurd idea. The answer was almost always "no." (I can remember one - just one - exception.)Well I think this shows why we may need smilies.

If someone was posting directions to a hospital, it would be nice to be warned of frivolous intent by a smiley. But on the "Off Topic Babbling" forum, it hardly seems necessary. One noble motivation would be: If the person is serious and deluded then I shall do by best to set him straight. Another motivation would be: If the person is serious and deluded then I am really going to ridicule this idiot.
Trying to fix the world by internet posting isn't going to work anyway. So it doesn't disturb me if posts don't provide hints to counselors. Smileys in posts? Are you serious?

I was waiting for that... Surprised someone didn't post it sooner!
Order of Kilopi
I'm not going to try to fix the world, but if I see someone making extremely disturbing posts, I'm going to be very careful in what I say to them, if I say anything at all. In those cases, an unstated joke isn't terribly funny, and if they aren't joking, it's worse.
Yes, definitely, or something to indicate a joke.Smileys in posts? Are you serious?

Dunno. But I'm keeping an open mind.
Sorry.

No, I've never tried trepanning, on neither myself nor another.
I think modern doctors have a different word for that, than trepan.
Order of Kilopi
I was thinking of doing it, but didn't want to be a "bore".

Ouch.. ah well, such things must be posted, we all know the drill.

Yes, you hit it right on the nail. I'd try to make a counterargument, but I'm afraid it would be full of holes.
