Appropriate for Spooky Season, this episode focuses on brains...braaaaains...BRAAAAAAINS. Dubose, Buhavac and I talk with the one and only Deb Stein, the President of the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST), the Director of Critical Care Services for the University of Maryland Medical System, the Chair of the Certifying Committee for the Trauma, Burns, and Surgical Critical Care Boards, and my fingers are cramping up so I'm going to have to stop typing all of her titles and offices. Suffice it to say that there are very few surgeons on the planet who are as respected and authoritative as Dr. Stein, which is why it is both a compliment and a hardship that she takes it upon herself to make fun of me on a daily basis. Not even kidding. She spent fifteen minutes yesterday roasting me about my sweater. Anyway, she knows everything there is to know about traumatic brain injury. We talk to her for an hour and I double my knowledge base. Also, my cats make a spectacle of themselves.
