So I would say that that's probably insulting both ways to a neurosurgeon, a brain surgeon, and a neurologist.

I personally like to use a bipolar coagulator, which is like a little tweezers that allows you to coagulate a small little blood vessels.

All this would be as small as imagine trying to grab a small little hair.

With just little tweezers.

You know, and sometimes the only way you can see that little hair is with the microscope.

That's why you use the highest level of magnification.

On the other hand, it allows me to see life with such an enthusiasm and such a love and not take anything for granted.

The sound of the anesthesia machine beeping.

The beep, beep, beep, beep, which is a heart beating.

And you want to hear that sound all the time.

100%.

And you're attuned.

And you remember what I was telling you, because you're listening to the music.

You listen to the orchestra, the symphony, and if a note is off, you recognize it right away.

Oh, I savor music.

Every time I finish a surgery and everything goes well, as likely as most of the time, and I put families on the room and I walk.

into the room.

And the first thing that I like to tell the family, everything went well and they all stand up.

And before I even get close to them, they're rushing to hug me.

And those moments are so private and they're so beautiful.
