Neurosurgical Case Discussions Introduction
Welcome! Thank you for visiting us.
Who is this discussion page for?
This section is designed for neurosurgical and
other neuroscience health professionals and learners. We are especially
interested in providing a learning environment for neurosurgical residents where
neurosurgeons, neurologists, researchers, nurses, and allied health professionals
can contribute
from their knowledge and experience in discussions of neurosurgical cases. The strength of an
environment such as this is that many voices of experience can be heard.

Since written discussions of this kind do not include
facial expressions and the nuances of subtle meaning often demonstrated by body
language (i.e. jokes that have layers of meaning dependant on delivery),
misunderstandings are bound to happen where you might misinterpret the
intensions of another author. Please remember to be kind to each other in your
contributions assuming that the other authors are as well-meaning, as dignified
and as professional as you are.
