In this episode of Neuronotes Mission Brain, we examine a traumatic brain injury (TBI) case in a 79-year-old patient whose seemingly minor fall evolved into an acute epidural hematoma. A powerful reminder that TBI is never trivial, and when it comes to the brain, every second matters.

Aneurysms, AVMs, and Artistry - A Conversation with Dr. Michael T Lawton

In this episode of The Mission:Brain Podcast, we explore why neurovascular neurosurgery feels so intense for medical students. We discuss how tiny arteries shape speech, memory, and identity, and reflect on a real case of subarachnoid hemorrhage that showed us how quickly a life can change. From the emotional weight in the operating room to the responsibility of communicating with families, this conversation reminds us of the humility, focus, and respect the brain demands—and why these stories keep us committed to medicine.
