ASMR 🧠Awake Brain Surgery | Cranial Nerve Exam, Sensation Testing

Welcome to the Cozy Hospital! You're having surgery today due to a mass in your brain and because it's located very close to the parts of your brain that control language, sensation and cognitive function, your surgeon will need to have you awake for a portion of the surgery to run some tests with you as to avoid injuring your brain function in any way.

*** I know there will be some folks who would have wanted me to wear loupes; with the nature of this roleplay being a bit on the potentially anxiety-inducing side for some, I wanted to make sure people could clearly see my eyes to feel more comfortable and also feel more humanity from the 'surgeon'. And also... Even with the AC on, with my photography lights etc the room is still 73-75 degrees and even hotter toward the end. It gets really claustrophobic feeling when glasses fog up and I'm that hot. When the weather gets colder, I'll make another video with loupes. Promise.
