You need trepanation like a hole in the head []
Although some are rather too keen on the idea ...

Mellen decided to try again. He describes his third attempt at self-trepanation:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trepanation
After some time there was an ominous sounding schlurp and the sound of bubbling.
I drew the trepan out and the gurgling continued.
It sounded like air bubbles running under the skull as they were pressed out.
I looked at the trepan and there was a bit of bone in it. At last!
Amanda Feilding also performed a self-trepanation with a drill, while her partner Joey Mellen filmed the operation, in the film titled "Heartbeat in the Brain".
