Ernst Bloch believed upright posture symbolizes human dignity. As a neurosurgeon, I know spine health is vital to uphold that dignity and our resilience. Let’s stand tall and care for our spines! #SpineHealth #HumanDignity


I voted and so should you.

Leadership isn't about asserting dominance, especially in hospital departments. Chairs must prioritize the well-being of patients and staff above personal gain. True leadership is inspiring and empowering others to work towards a common goal. #leadership #healthcare

Moving between hospital systems as a private practice neurosurgeon is like being a tourist in different countries. New faces, different 'languages', and unexpected norms. But hey, it's the same brain everywhere. #NeurosurgeryNomad #PrivatePracticePerks 🧠


If you dislike taking call, just be glad you're not an oncallogist.
