The Value of the Neurosurgeon
The value of the neurosurgeon to our communities across this great nation is without measure. Neurosurgeons are the protectors of the central nervous system. As the dedicated guardians of the crown jewel of evolution, we selflessly sacrifice a significant component of our lives in that service. The emergent craniotomy for an expanding epidural hematoma, the clip ligation of a ruptured aneurysm or the decompression and stabilization of an incomplete spinal cord injury. All those interventions preserve and restore neurological function. Those interventions save lives. Our country, without the neurosurgeon on call and at the ready to act, would be unimaginable.
