"As I got into medicine, I initially thought I wanted to be a trauma surgeon. I did a rotation where we did spine, and that really spoke to me." "I said, 'you know, I really want to pursue this because it's interesting to me and it seems like something I can make a difference in.'" Kurtus Dafford, MD is a neurosurgeon with Brigham and Women's Neurosurgery at South Shore Health. His clinical interests include degenerative disc disease, spinal deformities, and more.

"Teaching is so integral to #neurosurgery because that's how we change the world," said Barrow President and CEO Michael T. Lawton, MD. "I can operate on 15,000 patients in my career ... but that's finite. If I teach 2,000 people how to think about neurosurgery and do the craft, then that's limitless." In today's episode of #BarrowNeurosurgeryBaseCamp, Dr. Lawton and the Barrow neurosurgery trainees discuss the importance of training the next generation of #neurosurgeons and lessons learned from a PCoA #aneurysm case. Watch the full episode at BarrowNeuro.org/BaseCamp.

MD 2022 • Research Scholar • Illustrator • Transforming Complex Medical Concepts into Powerful Visual Narratives
Alhamdulillah! Glad to share our recent publication in World Neurosurgery! Our study delves into the growing importance of palliative care for older glioblastoma (GBM) patients. We highlighted the challenges these patients face and the critical role of palliative care in enhancing quality of life, managing symptoms, and supporting end-of-life decision-making. This work emphasizes the need for early integration of palliative care into treatment plans to provide comprehensive support and improve outcomes for elderly GBM patients. It's a step toward redefining how we approach care for this vulnerable population. https://lnkd.in/d6gsm-N5. Inibehe Okon, MD #PalliativeCare #Neurosurgery #Glioblastoma #MedicalResearch #ElderlyCare
