Our experience here shows that LITT for pediatric epilepsy is effective, even in the setting of previous open surgery history. Consider for symptomatic residual and recurrence. https://t.co/nGlL1iNr58

[Anthony DiGiorgio, DO, MHA @DrDiGiorgio]

Neurosurgeons must be mindful of the frequency of neuro checks we order.

Waking someone up every hour is not a benign intervention! Doing it to an elderly person with a TBI for days on end can perpetuate delirium. The results of this study in @NeurosurgeryCNS are not surprising.

There are some problems with the study, such as using neuro checks at admission as the exposure variable, but the authors do a good job with the data they have. It's a great reminder to think about how important that hourly neuro check really is! Be judicious in your orders and remember to do no harm!

Since having kids, I can’t really see these things without tearing up.

This is touching, incredibly moving, and what medicine should be at its core.
