25-year-old Dallas woman livestreams her own brain surgery to 'educate and inspire' others.
A Dallas hospital was inundated with social media praise on Tuesday after it livestreamed a surgery, showing doctors operating on a young woman's brain while she was awake and speaking.
"They are going to show me pictures and I will be describing the pictures while they map out my brain," Schardt said in a statement released by the hospital ahead of the surgery."I will be a very active participant in my own brain surgery!" The livestreamed portion of the surgery lasted for about 50 minutes, racking up more than 63,000 views, comments and reactions on Facebook in just a few hours. The doctors also walked viewers through the process and answered questions in real-time.
