This #DoctorsDay, we'd like to introduce you to Ayush Batra, MD, and Stephen VanHaerents, MD, two Northwestern neurologists who were on the cross-country team together and hung out with the same group of friends in high school. After finishing medical school, residency and fellowships, the two wound up on the same team once again, this time for one of the leading #neurology programs in the country, at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago. Cheers to many more years of success and #friendship!
