In the eleventh episode of White Coats, Real Talk, Akshara and Atharva Anand sit down with Dr. Akash J. Patel, a leading neurosurgeon and professor at Baylor College of Medicine, to explore the hidden dangers of skull base tumors. Often called “silent” tumors, these growths can go undetected for years until they affect vision, hearing, or brain function. Dr. Patel sheds light on why these tumors are so difficult to detect, what warning signs shouldn’t be ignored, and how science and compassion come together.
