Happy #nationalnursesweek ! Nurses are so important for the care of patients in the ED, clinic and OR. Thanks for all you do!

A few months ago,took some time from my practice to teach a few surgeons,such as Dr. Ben Burch how to do cerivcal endoscopic surgery.
By the Grace of God I was able to indirectly help 2 patients that live far away is what makes the sacrifice of time and effort so worth it.

Hard to believe that I’m finishing my 7th year at Duke Neurosurgery as faculty.Happy to see the growth of great residents such as Dr. Kelly Ryan Wackerle, MD  into an amazing physician, surgeon and soon to be mom:).  The people of Charlotte are lucky to have her!
