  • Informative for anyone in the field

    I like this podcast, I am currently in the field and although most of the topics discussed are not new to me, it’s a great resource for people new to the field or want to learn / understand more about neurosurgery and IONM.

    Audio quality can be improved hard to hear sometimes in my car without turning the volume up quite high.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Avoiding Burnout for Basic Science Clinician Scientists
Q: What is the best advice for a medical student or resident considering basic science?
Fehlings and Ahuja emphasize belief in one's ability to learn the necessary science, prioritizing mentorship and a supportive environment, focusing on meaningful questions rather than chasing rapid results, and remembering that pursuing science can improve clinical practice.
Avoiding Burnout for Basic Science Clinician Scientists
Q: What are the biggest obstacles for spine surgeons pursuing basic science careers?
The discussion highlights time, infrastructure, mentorship, funding stability, and institutional support as major barriers, with clinicians needing protected time and collaboration to sustain research in addition to clinical duties.
Avoiding Burnout for Basic Science Clinician Scientists
Q: What drove you to pursue basic science research?
Ahuja explains the shift began in residency, inspired by the possibility to help a broader population and the intellectual excitement of solving ambitious problems in CNS injury, while Fehlings reflects on an epiphany sparked by witnessing neurotrauma and recognizing the unsatisfactory state of treatments, which led him to pursue research during residency.
SpineLine - Preoperative and Preprocedural Risk Assessment and Mitigation Strategies
Q: How did you decide on the scope of the risk factors to include?
We started with the AAOS preoperative toolkit and expanded as a committee, ultimately focusing on preoperative and perioperative factors, while recognizing there are additional elements like sleep apnea and social determinants that we may tackle later.
What We Thought We Knew About Treating Cervical Radiculopathy
Q: What is your approach when a patient is considering surgery after a consult—does meeting with a surgeon create an obligation to operate?
No obligation exists; the goal is to ensure the patient understands all options, and if they choose not to proceed with surgery, the clinician continues to support them with the best non-surgical care.
