Wet brain

4 scans of brains - 2 of patient with hydrocephalus on left showing large empty spaces, and 2 of a healthy brain
'A 44-year-old man seeks treatment for weakness in his left leg. When the doctors hear he had hydrocephalus as a kid (water on the brain), they do an MRI just in case it's relevant. They discover that a fluid-filled sac has filled most of his skull, "leaving little more than a thin sheet of actual brain tissue".
This guy's brain on the left, healthy brain on the right.'

Conferrin' with the flowers,
Consulting with the rain;
And my head I'd be a scratchin'
While my thoughts are busy hatchin'
If I only had a brain…
“Huh, well, I believe you. I guess we know where the problem is then!”
