> * Distrust of modern medicine has led to the increasing popularity
> of therapeutic self-trepanation (drilling a hole in the head to unseal
> the skull), according to a June Chicago Tribune story.  Trepanation
> activist Peter Halvorson recalled that drilling into his own skull 25
> years ago ("Smoke was coming out of the hole," he said) brought
> him "a heightened, childlike sense of awareness" and a permanent
> state of higher consciousness.  Neurosurgeons contacted used
> words like "amazed" and "stunned" at the craze, but according to
> the report, trepanists seem so confident of the procedure that
> criticism of them just wasn't sinking in.
