FLASHBACK: Brain Surgeon Told Biden He Had Less Than 50% Chance of ‘Being Completely Normal’

(CNSNews.com) - Speaking at the White House National Conference on Mental Health on Monday, Vice President Joe Biden told a sometimes serious and sometimes jocular story about the two brain surgeries he needed in 1988 to deal with cranial aneurysms.
Biden told the White House audience “they take a saw and they cut your head off” and “they literally had to take the top of my head off.” He also recounted that as he was being wheeled into surgery he asked the neurosurgeon, “What are my chances of getting off this table completely normal?” The surgeon told Biden he had a better chance of living—and that that chance was in the 35 to 50 percent range.

“The only totally un-chartered portion of the universe is the brain,” Biden said in his White House speech. “You know, as we used to say in the Senate, excuse the point of personal privilege here: I had two cranial aneurysms, and they literally had to take the top of my head off. I mean, they take a saw and they cut your head off, and go in to find the artery that is--one was leaking, the other that hadn't, before it burst.

“Those of you who are docs know every profession has their sick jokes,” said Biden. “The joke among docs is: How do you know someone's had a cranial aneurysm? On the autopsy table. Only 20 percent of the people have it even get to the table.
“Well, one of the fascinating things is, that the second operation, after the first one, which was a bleed, and they gave me a relatively low chance of surviving,” said Biden. “I remember going down, and asking the doc, and, you know, you’re counting the ceiling tiles and you’re heading into the operating room--a lot of you’ve been there. I said, ‘Doc, what are my chances?’ I had two great neurosurgeons. And I'll never forget--I will not mention his name, but he's one of the leading neurosurgeons in the world--he said: ‘Senator, for mortality or morbidity?’
“And I'm thinking,” said Biden. “No, swear to God, I mean, you know, jeez. Well, I said, ‘Let me put it to you this way.’ It was a long road to the operating room. I said--this is absolutely a true story--I said: ‘What are my chances of getting off this table and being completely normal?’ He said: ‘Well, your chances of living are a lot better.’

“And I said, ‘OK. What are they?’ He said, ‘Well, they're in the 35 to 50 percent range.’ And I thought, well--seriously, I was a born optimist--I said, well, hell, that means 35 out of 100, 50 out of 100 make it. I might as well be the one,” said Biden.

“I said: ‘What's the most likely thing that will happen if I live?’ He said, ‘Well, the side of the brain that the first aneurysm is on controls your ability to speak.’ And I thought: ‘Why in the hell didn’t they tell me this before the '88 campaign?’ It could have saved us all a lot of trouble, you know what I mean?”

WaPo: Biden suffered from 2 near-fatal ANEURYSMS in 1988 and was almost given LAST RITES

President Joe Biden suffered two aneurysms in the late 1980s that almost ended his life, according to a report by the Washington Post (WaPo).According to the Jeff Bezos-owned news outlet, the first aneurysm happened to Biden in February 1988 when he was 45 years old. It had been misdiagnosed as a pinched nerve, with the then-U.S. senator for Delaware taking at least 10 acetaminophen tablets a day to provide at least a modicum of pain relief.
However, doctors discovered the dangerous warping of a blood vessel; had it burst, it would have likely been fatal. Biden then underwent an emergency surgery to correct the condition and address its potentially deadly consequences.
This severe February 1988 aneurysm stemmed from the initial misdiagnosis. Biden's refusal to seek immediate medical attention even as the pain in his neck became unbearable also made things worse. WaPo reported that a Catholic priest was even called in to administer the Last Rites to him.
Citing an account by the president's sister Valerie Biden Owens, WaPo recounted that Jill Biden intervened and prevented the priest from giving the U.S. senator the Viaticum.
"Jill Biden, who had been ordered to stay out of the room, burst in, yelling at [the priest] to leave. 'You're not giving him the Last Rites. He's not going to die,' she said," according to WaPo.
Doctors pushed through with the risky surgery, which ultimately saved Biden's life. But the then-senator wasn't out of the water yet, as he suffered a pulmonary embolism while in recovery. The National Pulse explains that a pulmonary embolism is "sudden blockage of arteries that brings blood to the lungs."
Biden did recover from this embolism, but the earlier aneurysm was followed by a second one found in May 1988, which again required surgery. The senator recovered from this second surgery and eventually made his way to the White House – spending eight years as vice president before being elected as chief executive in the rigged 2020 elections.
Are Biden's gaffes a consequence of his aneurysm?

"An aneurysm is a warping in a blood vessel, commonly as a bulge or bubble. Aneurysms can fill with blood and subsequently rupture. When ruptured, aneurysms are fatal in about 50 percent of cases," the Pulse continued.
"Even among those who survive, two-thirds will suffer long-term neurological damage. Aneurysms can be genetic and continue to appear in a patient over time. At 81 years old, Biden's history of aneurysms may raise additional concerns about the closely guarded state of his health."
In February, the Pulse reported how Biden refused to take a cognitive test during his annual physical examination at the time. "I'm squared away, they say I look too young," he told reporters at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Maryland where he had his physical exam. (Related: Doctors urge Biden to take MENTAL COMPETENCY test following increasing evidence of president’s cognitive decline.)
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre also confirmed that Biden didn't undergo a cognitive test during his physical exam, arguing that he "doesn't need one." Former President Donald Trump has poked fun at Biden's failing cognitive function – as evidenced by the incumbent's various verbal gaffes – in multiple instances.
She also declined to make Biden's physician available for questioning by reporters, contending that it's not the standard practice. According to the Pulse, "This deviates from the usual protocol during the Trump administration, when the former president's physician was subjected to extensive questioning."
