I'm Just a Little Worried About the Comments After this Post

With a hand of black, Decker can be seen, at his "babble", on stage from the back of the stage using another hand. Hugo continues his self trepanation in the 1970s where he continues self trepanation with a Black & Decker power drill and a somnolence syringe. His self-trepanation is the basis for the upcoming Black & Decker power drill in the 1970s. On Friday 6th of January 1965.

Thanks for the reply on JPG, I think you're missing something. Thanks for that! Sorry for the confusion. I'm just a little worried about the comments after this post. I'm still thinking about other options to stop on the project. Perhaps one night a new technology would come along that will remove all of that stigma of self trepanation? As of now. I'm thinking of a way to make the patient's body look normal, so when they hear the word "bleed" and think, "What happens here?!" it should be a healthy experience. Thanks.
