but a highly regarded mechanic of the brain.

That's it.

That's how I see myself.

And of course, I do recognize it, that it is very complex, it's very sophisticated.

And it took many, many years to get to where I am, of course.

I've been doing this for over 25 years.

But the reality is that there's some level of simplicity that you very eloquently illustrate.

You got to roll your sleeves up and you got to get in there.

And you have to have sometimes little splashes of blood on your face.

You got to get a little bit of that bone dust that comes along when you are removing this skull or sometimes a little bit of

the smell of the muscle as it's being, you know, cauterized with electricity and the little smoke that comes out.

That's 95% of my work, but a lot of the attention is in the 5% because it is absolutely remarkable.

I got to tell you that the most remarkable thing for me is not what I do as a brain surgeon, is not the technology, but to me is the fact that a patient and their loved ones are willing to

to put their lives on the hands of a stranger.

And that, to me, speaks about the power of trust and the power of believing, which is all in the brain.

And that, to me, is remarkable.

Likely nowadays is extraordinarily high.

The chances of complication for a healthy person, you know, are probably in the one to two percent.

Really?

Wow.
