The Surgery

Friedman will cut an incision in Kennedy's head to expose his skull. A drill will be used to make a small hole in the skull, and a drill bit will be inserted. A high powered microscope will be used to cut the brain to find the cancer.

Once the cancer is located, Friedman can use a scissor like scalpel to remove it.
