Under normal circumstances, it’s difficult for most people to recall all 50 states and recite them rapidly in alphabetical order, but under extremely unusual circumstances, a 24-year-old made it seem easy.
Recently, brain surgery was performed on Jayden Zientara, a medical partner at Nashville, Tennessee’s Vanderbilt University Hospital.
She spoke with news about her experience having brain surgery, including the unexpected route that led to her diagnosis and the fallout that followed.
“THIS IS WILD”: A PATIENT WITH BRAIN TUMOR PLAYING GUITAR DURING SURGERY
According to the 24-year-old, it all began in late November 2023 with a severe migraine.
“I never get migraines or headaches, so like any other person, I took Ibuprofen and Tylenol, hoping my headache would go away,” she explained.
Zientara made the decision to visit an urgent care facility to see if the physicians there could help her with her agony after enduring yet another wretched day.
“I was prescribed … sleep meds and headache meds … and was told that if my migraine didn’t go away in the next 24 hours, that I needed to go get a CT scan,” she said.
Zientara went to obtain a scan after reporting that the discomfort had not decreased after two days.
