Dr Cooper got the gift of a wine bottle opener that worked by injecting co2 into the bottle thereby pushing the cork out.
He took notice of the fact that the co2 was very cold when it came out and experimented with it by freezing parts of his hand and then observing it as it thawed.
This turned on a light bulb for him and he developed a brain surgery technique where liquid nitrogen is injected through a small tube to the brain tissue that would freeze and deaden the unhealthy tissue without harming the surrounding brain tissue.
This discovery opened up a new field of surgery, and not just for the brain, and all from a Christmas gift.
