    So saddened to learn today that #neurosurgery lost (1 week ago) one of its pioneers in #skullbase & #cerebrovascular surgery, #TakanoriFukushima. He was the consummate innovative naturally skilled neurosurgical artist who exuded passion, perfected his craft & inspired legions😥

    What a bitter sweet feeling! After 28 years at @UMiamiHealth, I am moving to #UTHouston, TX Dec 11 as Chair of #Neurosurgery at @McGovernMed & @MemorialHermann. Very exciting years ahead. Joining a great group of neurosurgeons who like me do not recognize the sky as a limit. 😊😀

    If you want a glimpse of the essence of being a unique #neurosurgeon or just share memories of #FredGentili who passed away last month, here is the #obituary I wrote for my great friend. Just appeared online in @ActaNeuro. #glioblastoma #braintumor Link: surl.li/bhien

    If you are interested in reading what made an immigrant neurosurgeon like me fall in love with the US, and my thoughts on #racism #georgefloyd #lebanon #war and the social turmoil that is tearing the US apart, here is my essay published in JNS today. Peace doi.org/10.3171/2020.7…

    What a sad day! Juha #Hernesniemi has passed on. You were a man of few words but every word counted& meant something profound; just like your surgical moves, lightning fast yet clean and supremely in control, inimitable, unique. You were a mentor & a friend. You were authentic.😪

    So in my first 3 tweets, I summed up what I feel are the quintessential traits I admire in the world's best #neurosurgeons : relentless passion for what they do, incredible #resilience in the face of adversity, and a love of teaching and #education. Let's explore all that!

    Unquestionably the highlight moment of my career. Humbled, privileged and grateful to have led the @AANSNeuro this past year, and been able to find human commonality and seemingly touch a fiber in the heart and mind of the audience with my message. 🙏🙏🙏

    I am not sure how much more my poor country can take in this cursed year of 2020: Political corruption, economic collapse, COVID healthcare crisis, and now this. Unbelievable. #PrayForLebanon is indeed all we can do

    Delighted to be invited to the Spetzler Microsurgery Course as keynote faculty. Having a great time with @mtlawton @BarrowNeuro. Rekindled old memories from fellowship days in the 90s.

    Today a giant, Evandro, has fallen, yet risen to a much better place. His legacy is not forgotten; it is thriving in the hands of his disciples. His impact is enormous. Nobody has merged Neuroanatomy,Microsurgical Skills,Surgical Esthetics like he has. Evandro, teach the angels!
