Host: Mark Nolan Hill, MD

Guest: David Greer, MD

Dr. David Greer, assistant professor of neurology at Harvard Medical School, directed a national survey of neurology and neurosurgery programs to analyze policies for making brain death declarations. Though American medical institutions are not required to follow parameters for determining brain death, as published by the American Academy of Neurology, more explicit recommendations may help guide brain death protocol at hospitals across the country. Dr. Greer details his research with host Dr. Mark Nolan Hill.
