 My name is Dr. Pinoc and Jethwa. I am the medical director of Cerebral Vascular Neurosurgery at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. When I was in medical school, I thought about all the different specialties that were out there and none of them really excited me as much as dealing with the central nervous system. And then when I started actually interacting with neurosurgical patients, seeing how tremendous impact that neurosurgeons can have, dealing with patients with brain aneurysms was the thing that probably solidified that this was the career path for me. When you go into neurosurgery, you're kind of one of those types of people who, you know, likes dealing with complexity and being able to have patients have good outcome despite very difficult problems. You don't just have to be a good surgeon and have a lot of, you know, different tools and tricks in the toolbox, but you also have to be a good doctor because a lot of what we do isn't just the surgery part of it, it's everything we do before and after the operation too. It's really, really important to take time with your patients more than anything else because it's people talking, getting to know who they are, getting to know what they want out of, you know, the next phase of their lives, what they want their quality of life to be, what risks they're willing to take. Try and be a real person and try and, you know, get to know these people at a personal level, you know, taking five minutes to do that really helps solidify that, you know, doctor-patient relationship and that's where the basis of trust comes. Going through and actually just being, you know, a doctor, being a neurosurgeon is not an easy thing to do. It's, you know, four years of college, four years of medical school, seven years of residency, a year of fellowship and then coming out and at the end of it, actually being able to do what you trained to do and seeing that you're making a positive impact on hundreds and thousands of patients' lives, I'm more proud of that than, you know, anything else, any accolade I would ever get.
