Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Neurosurgery and the neurosurgeons who deliver it assumed a temporarily raised profile when the series The Brain Hospital was shown on UK television last year. An editorial in The Lancet (2006), commented on the passion and humanity of the surgeons portrayed, as well as their skill and care for their patients. Patients telling their stories following neurosurgery in the guise of entertainment may seem perverse, but the public has always been fascinated by medicine in both fact and fiction, remembering such TV series as Doctor Kildare and Your Life in Their Hands from the 1960s. This article will examine recent developments and aspects of current practice in neurosurgery and neurological investigation, through a review of recent literature.
