...left to the orthopedists and neurosurgeons who are designated as "spine surgeons," and who restrict their practices solely to this procedure. Spinal stenosis operations are among the most common, the most expensive and the most feared, with lots of complications - paralysis, blood clots, infection, leaking of spinal fluid, intractable pain...
...when not traveling, said that he will be coming to Boston every month starting September to immerse himself in the community at the School of Public Health and familiarize himself with the issues facing faculty and students.Additionally, Frenk said that he hopes to establish a “very fluid communication” with Harvard's other graduate schools and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, emphasizing Harvard's recent push toward more cross-school collaborations in the sciences. Though he has never held a full-time position at Harvard, Frenk does have ties to the University. In addition...
...weight we're made mostly of it. We get formed in a sack of it. We get sick - quite often - just from the lack of it.

It's what allows the operation to be "minimally invasive" - its transparency lets us see what we're doing.

A kid in Bangalore can come up with a program that could make Microsoft obsolete in two years. This is scary. This makes for great uncertainty. So what we're really worried about is the success of our kids. That's why we push them to achieve. And that's why we're focused on the Harvard, Yale, Princeton brand-name education...
