Today, I found my green card in the mail. There is no greater wealth than the peace of mind of knowing that I will be able to fully practice my dream job in the country that opened its doors to me. I am grateful and fortunate beyond words.

It’s 4/11, my dad would be turning 76 today. My hero/role model. He showed me what passion for

means. It’s been 6y since he passed; I hope wherever he is at, he can see that I made it to Nsgy residency and that he is proud! Hits different on-call doing what he loved
I got my Employment Authorization card (EAD) via an approved National Interest Waiver (NIW) path in the mail this morning!I’m beyond happy and relieved to know that I’ll finish neurosurgery residency and practice in the US! Bonus: advance parole combo; trips abroad coming my way!
Finished! Proud of my little educational contribution!

is a humbling procedure that tests your patience and orientation to detail. As we become more senior residents, it is our role to teach how we wanted to be taught!

On my way to the Resident Teaching Conference, my coffee spilled on the donuts box in a curious neuron-like shape. I’ll take that as a good omen!

In a paper published on IMGs in Neurosurgery residency in the US , Lebanon 🇱🇧 was on top of the list ! I guess I am to blame for 4 out of the 14 residents! 😁

I couldn’t have done this without the help of selfless huge names in Neurosurgery who supported me taking the time to write me letters of recommendation without knowing me personally. I will forever be in debt with you. You changed my life.
At the ED seeing a consult. ED residents next to me start talking about some random medicine patient: “but he also has some neck pain... I’m just going to get a ct of his c-spine... and the head too since he is already getting scanned”. We are all looking at each other like:
@SamSpellicy
Get it out of the way as soon as you can if you took step 2 recently. It’s just more efficient since knowledge is still fresh (you won’t need as much dedicated time to study). However, if your program can pay for it then definitely take it during intern year.
Thank you Drs.

Strong work! There are other things that matter way more than a score! Among other things, be a genuine good person and people will be able to tell during interviews. Congrats again on passing this dreaded filter.

Lefty loosey, righty tighty. I repeat that in my head with every single screw I place: spine, burr hole cover, assembling DBS microdrive, tightening a DBS lead protector, etc. Saved my life!

Don’t push it, man. They can easily come back at us with the classic Friday night special: emergent lumbar drain on IIH patient with BMI 50.
Many alternative medicine treatments are rooted in vitalism: the belief in a magical energy force that cannot be scientifically measured and needs to be “balanced.”
Think energy healing and reiki.
Here’s one of the newest flavors: “Spinal Energetics.”

Todos los médicos, en teoría, son educados para ser científicos. Este señor es un claro ejemplo del pobre nivel académico exigido por su escuela de medicina en la época en la cual se educó/graduó. Esto solo reafirma la importancia de instituciones como la sunedu.
Join us this morning at 10:00 am CDT for SANS Live: Controversies in Vascular Neurosurgery. This live webinar will incorporate SANS questions in a debate format to help you enhance your surgical knowledge and decision-making skills.
Happy National Women Physicians (yester)day from on the ladies of SLU neurosurgery, who all somehow managed to be on call in a case together to celebrate 😅
