You’re the ER doctor. A patient is crashing from a You’re the ER doctor. A patient is crashing from a massive brain bleed. The neurosurgeon is 30 minutes away. You have a drill… but you’ve never done this procedure to drain the bleed before. Do you risk your career trying to save him, or follow the rules and watch him die?

This driver insisted the parked bus “came out of n This driver insisted the parked bus “came out of nowhere.”

Most people assumed he was reckless. But when doctors reviewed the events leading up to the crash, they found a neurological condition affecting how his brain processed the world around him.

He repeatedly ignored objects, people, and hazards on the same side before the collision.

If a medical condition causes a crash, should the driver still be held responsible? #medicine #neurology #brain #stroke #medicaleducation

You’re completely healthy. No symptoms. No cancer. You’re completely healthy. No symptoms. No cancer.

Then doctors tell you to remove your entire stomach.

For some families with a CDH1 mutation, this is not hypothetical. They face an extraordinarily difficult choice: remove a healthy organ now, or live with a very high risk of an aggressive stomach cancer that has already affected multiple relatives across generations.

How many animals can you identify from their skull How many animals can you identify from their skulls? At first, it may look like bunch of skulls, but you will actually see the animal when you look closely. The head shape, jaw, and teeth give away more than you’d think. Here’s your hint: 3 are predators and 3 get eaten. Drop your guesses before you look at the comments.

This man told his doctor, “Every time I turn my he This man told his doctor, “Every time I turn my head, half my body goes weak and I can’t talk.”

His doctor placed a finger deep near his tonsil, which led to a surprising diagnosis: Eagle syndrome.

An 8 cm skull bone was compressing his carotid artery and causing mini-strokes.

Surgery carried about a 10% risk of complications, including nerve damage or stroke.

But without surgery, turning his head carried a 10% risk of stroke.

Would you have surgery or live with it? #medicine #stroke #doctor #neurology #medicaleducation
