Brain surgery is scary, but imagine being awake for it — all while livestreaming the procedure on Facebook
Jenna Schardt, 25, is studying for her masters in occupational therapy at Brenau University in Georgia. One day, Schardt had been helping stroke patients at a rehab hospital as part of her rotations in North Texas when she began to experience symptoms similar to a stroke.A baby woke up from a coma and smiled at his dad.
Schardt was asked to describe pictures and read words off of an iPad while the surgeons worked on mapping out her brain. If she suddenly stopped speaking in the middle of a sentence after a portion of her brain was stimulated, it let the surgeons know that it's an area to avoid."It is cool they can do that and that they have this kind of technology," Schardt said in a video the hospital posted before the surgery.
