In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Z, a spine surgery fellow and neurosurgeon in Los Angeles. Dr. Z discusses his journey through neurosurgery, including the grueling demands of residency, the mental and physical resilience required, and the lessons he’s learned along the way. He shares the pivotal moment that inspired him to pursue neurosurgery, his experiences delivering life-changing (and sometimes heartbreaking) news to patients and families, and the evolving role of AI, augmented reality, and robotics in neurosurgery.
Dr. Brian Hoeflinger and Dr. Z also reflect on the challenges and rewards of being a neurosurgeon, the importance of sharing medical knowledge on social media, and how technology is revolutionizing patient care. Plus, Dr. Z gives us a glimpse into his passions outside of medicine, including his love for fine dining and the parallels between high-level surgery and Michelin-starred kitchens.
Tune in for an insightful and candid conversation about medicine, perseverance, and the future of neurosurgery. Follow Dr. Z on TikTok and Instagram (@dr.zneurosurgery) to keep up with his educational content!
