More about the book

"Tumors, injuries, natural malformations--there is almost no such thing as a non-emergency brain surgery when it comes to kids. For a pediatric neurosurgeon working in the medical minefield of the brain-- in which every millimeter in every direction governs something that makes us essentially human--every day presents the challenge, the opportunity, to give a new lease on life to a child for whom nothing is yet determined and all possibilities still exist.
