I did this with Year 3 at the kids' school once. Raided the bin for catering size baked bean tins, raided the garden for watering cans and sticks, helped ourselves to some lumps of metal from an old fence and did the Cave Man Stomp all round the building. 25 seven year olds taking turns to start a rhythm for everyone to copy while leaping about howling like the monsters from Where The Wild Things Are was magic. Wasn't utterly popular with the other classes - they all wanted to come and join in.
The image of Green Boots is tame compared to some I saw (do not search for Everest corpse images unless you are prepared). It's from Wikimedia Commons, so I considered posting it here for about five seconds, then decided linking it was more prudent.
I doubt it's harder than I think. However, having looked at this and seeing the pic of Green Boots and reading the accompanying bit there, I'm now nearly physically ill. I like living too much to think about doing something like this! And I have a pretty decent, happy, eventful, interesting- keep picking nice adjectives, they'll work- life without Everest. I will keep smiling and loving my life ThankYouVeryMuch!!! ;) Interesting article, by the way!
i would be interested in a study not of what the patient was still capable of doing, but of what was lost. For example, can he still smell? Can he form new memories? What about reaction times and sensitivity to stimuli?
The brain on the left is considered normal. The brain on the right is from a profoundly impaired person. The one in the middle is the guy with the math degree.
