Another Day in the Frontal Lobe: A Brain Surgeon Exposes Life on the Inside
Talk about rhythmus here. A woman neurosurgeon is a rarity (1 in 200) in America. We learn that the cerebrum (brain) is a tofu-like textured organ being heinously transfixed/poked by tumors, blood clots, infections and in one case a rather corpulent smelly maggot---that quite successfully induced nausea in Dr. Firlik. Cases are riveting.
Sexist epithets by neurosurgical gods fly (like poisoned arrows) yet slide off Firliks' impenetrable force field. "In Another Day in the Frontal Lobe: A Brain Surgeon Exposes Life on the Inside," we ascertain how "toothpaste" delineates damaged brain tissue and what torture a neurosurgical residency is---being a person of a marginalized sex.
"And one female neurosurgery resident I knew had a brain tattoo on her hip, before tattoos were commonplace, and I wondered if she used it as proof of her dedication during interviews. (She eventually left neurosurgery to become a radiologist.) Regardless, I wasn't willing to go that far."
---Katrina Firlik, MD
Count on vivid pictures spun by neat freak Dr. Firlik. This is total brain-nerd poetry. She contrasts a "glioblastoma" to a mess of un-executed popcorn with kernels showing up in close/far places (yet far cells are hidden). Absolutely mesmeric read. What brain surgery tool is referred to as "my little nipper?" Explosive "schwarz" humor "drinnen." Read.
