Shawfiq must have a benign tumor removed from his brain. The surgeon tells him that only local anesthesia will be administered as she cuts through Shawfiq's scalp and that he will remain conscious the whole time. Shawfiq is really nervous about this
because the brain seems to be a very sensitive area to have surgery on, particularly while he is wide awake. Explain to him why he shouldn't be so nervous.
What will be an ideal response?
Because there are no pain receptors in the brain, Shawfiq will not experience pain as his brain is being operated on.
