Adult degenerative affects different people in different ways. In this patient, it was seriously affecting her quality of life. Fortunately, my team and I were able to help Pat get back to the activities she enjoys. That makes me (almost) as happy as it makes her! https://neurosurgery.weillcornell.org/patient-story/wheelchair-not-my-thing-scoliosis-story Weill Cornell Medicine

This issue of our department newsletter is focused on what we
have to be thankful for in neurosurgery—research grants that will help us find new solutions for difficult neurosurgical conditions; fellowship programs that will allow us to train the neurosurgeons of the future; and even our newfound ability to reach patients, students, and colleagues alike via remote videoconferencing and telemedicine. (I would not have guessed back in March 2020 that I would one day be grateful for that!) Remembering the difficulties in making that swift pivot, I am truly grateful today to have the tools available that allow us to consult with patients and confer with colleagues nearly anywhere in the world.
