Brain Tumor Podcast Issue |

Many people within our Meningioma Companion community are big fans of the Netflix show Lenox Hill. Given we are on the patient side of this condition, watching brain surgery live on TV can be anxiety-inducing, however, it is really nice to see the surgeon's point of view and better understand their incredibly stressful career choice. Their commitment is to hopefully heal us and get us through our scary and challenging diagnosis. Can you imagine reporting to work daily to plan and perform brain surgery? For those who don't have the stomach to watch the show, and for those who can't get enough of Dr. Langer and Dr. Boockvar, here are some educational and inspiring podcasts to help you get inside the heads of the neurosurgeon life! Listen, learn, and let go! Wishing you a fabulous February! Angel |

In case you missed this one in my January issue, join Dr. David Langer of Lenox Hill as he does an excellent job providing insight into what a day in the life of a neurosurgeon looks like. He states "Death is in some ways easier to handle than a bad complication (like a stroke)." Lenox Hill is a great "real" show and this interview is worth giving a half-hour of your time to.
