My second job after high school was cleaning up after surgery
in the early/mid nineties a pallidotomy was operating near the speech centres and the patient would be wheeled into the operating theatre concious, and the surgeon would be twiddling away while they kept a conversation going with the patient. The only time people got nervous was when the patient stopped talking.

I've just applied for a training role for it.

Very interesting, but I'm not sure if I could do it all the time.
I can recommend being an NHS trainee though.
