In terms of live stunt programming these days, it’s not that unusual for, say,  a man to attempt to be swallowed by a giant snake on television. But when you hear a channel is going to showcase live brain surgery on air? That raises some eyebrows.

The producers of National Geographic’s “Brain Surgery Live” may have anticipated this for Sunday night’s broadcast, as straightforward as it sounds: A team of doctors performed brain surgery on 49-year-old Greg Grindley, who suffers from Parkinson’s disease. On live TV.
