Phineas Gage was a rail road worker before the civil war. He was severely injured when an explosion sent a metal bar through his head. Amazing he survived the horrific injury. The first doctor that arrived commented that Gage's vomiting had cause almost a cup of his brain to spill out on to the ground. Gage made a full recovery from the accident but later suffered from violent convulsions. He died 12 years after the accident.
