   • Trevor Goodchild:verified::pondering_orb:
   "When The Air Hits Your Brain" (Vertosick's book of surgical anecdotes and memoirs) is a great read, BTW
   
   Fair warning: the 'Rebecca' chapter hits very hard

     @TrevorGoodchild @ColdOnesLite well, I was mostly unaware of the difficulties of pediatric neurosurgery. Seems like an absolute nightmare that you couldn't get me to sign up for.

     @sickburnbro @ColdOnesLite Few can hack it, but the good ones are worth their weight in sapphires. Their saves are legendary.

     @TrevorGoodchild @ColdOnesLite "At six weeks of age, the unmyelinated brain is thick soup which can be inadvertently vacuumed away by operative suctions." that's where I checked out

     @sickburnbro @ColdOnesLite "Neurosurgeons are not allowed to be clumsy" is a cold, cruel statement by a very skilled, cold, cruel individual (not Vertosick) that has always resonated
