Wake Up With Jim, December 29, 2021

Good morning, everyone! This morning’s inspirational story about Phineas Gage is so amazing that it was featured in Ripley’s Believe It or Not. But just as with many tales of inspiration, the story of Phineas Gage is also a tale of tragedy.

In 1852, 29-year-old Phineas Gage was working in Chile as a stagecoach driver. Four years earlier he had been employed as a powder man for a railroad construction project when an accident transformed his life and made medical history.
