I see 2,000 patients every year — and I remember a I see 2,000 patients every year — and I remember all of them. Not because I have a photographic memory… but because I focus on the human details that bring their entire story back. It’s one of the most meaningful parts of being a doctor, and it changes how I connect with every patient I meet. #learnontiktok #doctorsoftiktok #neurosurgery #doctorlife #medtok #medicalstory #memoryhack #medicine #storytime #inspiration

A tiny dot in the brain can change everything. Thi A tiny dot in the brain can change everything. This patient’s ventricles went from normal to massively enlarged — all because a small colloid cyst blocked drainage. The pressure builds fast, and treating it becomes a true neurosurgical emergency. Once the cyst is removed, the pressure drops and the brain can recover almost instantly. Wild how something so small can be so dangerous.#neurosurgery #medicaleducation #medicalreels #doctortok #medicineexplained #healthfacts #radiology #brainscience #learnwithme #medstudentlife
A case I’ll never forget. Three surgical teams wor A case I’ll never forget. Three surgical teams working at the same time… each with their own mission, inches apart, all trying to save one patient’s life. My part became a literal moving target — the anatomy shifting as the other teams worked. Somehow, through pure teamwork and focus… it worked. This is the side of medicine most people never see: coordination, trust, and organized chaos coming together in a single moment.#doctorsofinstagram #medicalstory #medlife #neurosurgery #healthcareheroes #surgeonlife #medicineexplained #instamedicine #reelseducation #learnwithme
People really think I’m impersonating a neurosurge People really think I’m impersonating a neurosurgeon… So here’s the truth: I am one. 25 years of brain bleeds, tumors, spine fractures, 3AM emergencies… all real. And somehow the internet still goes, ‘Nope… too young, too clean, too fake.’ The OR is real. The job is real. And so am I. Want to hear the wildest surgery I’ve ever done?#doctorsoftiktok #neurosurgery #doctorlife #medicineexplained #medicalvideo #surgeonlife #hospitalstories #medstudentlife #learnwithme #reelsinstagram
This skull is over 1,000% thicker than normal… and This skull is over 1,000% thicker than normal… and it was crushing the patient’s brain. None of our drills could get through it — not the perforator, not the high-speed drill, not even the diamond bit. So how do you save a brain when nothing can open the skull? As a neurosurgeon, these are the moments where every second counts.#learnontiktok #medschool #neurosurgery #medicalmystery #doctorsoftiktok #radiology #brainscience #surgeonlife #medicaleducation #weirdmedicalcases

Most people have heard of ‘Stone Man Disease’… but Most people have heard of ‘Stone Man Disease’… but almost nobody knows the new update. A genetic disorder that slowly turns muscle, ligaments, and tendons into bone — literally creating a second skeleton. For decades there was nothing. But a new Phase 3 trial just changed everything… A drug that blocks 99% of new abnormal bone growth by targeting the root cause. For the first time ever… patients finally have real hope. #learnoninstagram #medicalmystery #raredisease #medtok #doctorsoftiktok #scienceexplained #healthfacts #radiologylife #genetics #fopawareness
Surgeons once removed brain tumors using only thei Surgeons once removed brain tumors using only their fingers — and parts of that technique are still used today. This wasn’t myth or exaggeration… it was real neurosurgery. Before robotics, navigation, or ultrasonic aspirators, your fingertip was the safest way to protect arteries and gently separate a tumor from the brain. Wild history. Real surgical technique. Modern medicine has come a long way — but the fundamentals never disappeared.#neurosurgery #medicalhistory #brainsurgery #surgeonlife #medicineexplained #medschoollife #scrublife #histmed #doctorsoftiktok
