Collaboration isn’t chemistry—it’s practice. After a tough case our chiefs (Dr. Alam and Saccomano) share a handshake: teamwork doesn't happen overnight, it's built overtime with deliberate practice. Habits > titles. What’s a small ritual your team would share? #MedTwitter #MedEd

I wanted to share an incredible story of perseverance in the face of immeasurable odds by an amazing woman named Christy. I am grateful to Christy and @people for the article. Give it a read! #healthcare #GoodNews

DSPN Executive Committee meeting at the AANS Annual Meeting - discussing spine advocacy for our patients, planning the 2025 Spine Summit, and education for our members! @thejuansuribe @CheeragU @eapotts @AANSNeuro
Great time discussing the value of neuronavigation in modern spine surgery with the titans of the field. My opinion is that it will never replace, but only augment a well-trained operator. Freehand/navigation "free-vigation" hybrid approach is the key @AliBaajMD
@JakeGodzikMD will be co-moderating a debate on the value of neuro-navigation in spine surgery today, alongside @thejuansuribe, @LLenkeMD and other #spinesurgeons at the 3rd Annual Sonntag Spine Symposium, hosted by his alma mater, @BarrowNeuro 🔩
Really an unbelievable story by internal decapitation survivor @Christy19435205. Christy is a real inspiration, now patient advocate, educator, and role model. Listen to her full story: youtube.com/@littletraumamam…
