1. As a two time primary brain tumor survivor I can only imagine he's

referring to a laser knife.

they'll put various reference marks on the skull and get MRIs,plot the cuts on a computer and have at. My first brain surgery was a cake walk. I was up and at 'em the next day, f'real.outta the hospital in two. the second one kicked my ass, and even though i have very aggressive types of tumors w/ a pretty grim prognosis if i'd known how'd it turn out i'd have taken my chances w/o the second operation.
