Phineas Gage. An unusually fit man, with an iron build brimming with fortitude. A man with the smarts to find a problem, and the strength to solve it. Yet he was the embarrassment of the family, the man who never held his tongue. The man who could not hold a job anywhere, and did not care for anyone besides himself. No one, especially Phineas Gage, could foresee the change that he would be struck with one faithful day in 1848. They stood on the grey-brown, dirt and gravel path. Shards of rock…
