The Messi versus Ronaldo debate ended years ago. The problem is one side cannot accept the verdict.
Ronaldo is one of the greatest athletes ever produced. Disciplined, physical, relentless. A monument to what willpower can build.
But Messi does things that willpower cannot explain. Things that should not be possible at that speed with that many people trying to stop him. Things that make experienced footballers stop and watch with their mouths open.
You do not compare a great man to a genius. They are not the same category.
Ronaldo arrived at greatness. Messi arrived from somewhere else entirely.
Miles ahead is actually underselling it.
At long last, you can order your very own copy of Seven Cavernomas, the fourth book in the Seven Series of my textbooks. Let us know how you like it...

Happy Thanksgiving!
Watch this Seven Series video showing far lateral craniotomy, dissection in cisterna magna, clipping of posterior inferior cerebellar artery aneurysm thru infrahypoglossal section of vago-accessory triangle, on @BarrowNeuro: click… https://t.co/J7JSfScET4.

The spinal cord is a scary thing to incise. The cord has a midline fissure that makes it easier there, but paramedian cord does not. However, myelotomy along dorsal root entry zone (DREZ) is safe for dorsal spinal cord cavernous malformations, entering posteromedial to descending corticospinal tract & dancing around posterior spinal artery…
"The brain, specifically the human cortex, is the universe’s most sophisticated system of seemingly unrelated neural parcels interconnected through white matter tracts and synchronized electrically with spikes and oscillations of variable amplitudes, frequencies, and phases. This neuroelectric fugue produces a mysterious language that translates to cognition, emotion, plasticity, memory, intelligence, and consciousness. We can barely perceive this conversation, yet we must commit to deciphering it. The ability to decode and encode this language has transformative implications for neurosurgeons, the neurosurgical specialty, and humans as a species. This cortical frontier is a wide-open territory and a road map to our future. It’s time, in the words of Mark Twain in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, “…to light out into the territory ahead.”
This is why foraminal disc herniations are so painful ⚡
Note the position of the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) which lies in the intervertebral foramen (IF).
The presence of a disc protrusion in this region may lead to irritation or even direct compression on the DRG - which is extremely sensitive to mechanical and chemical stimuli.
Este sistema de drenaje linfático especial que tenemos en el cerebro, parece fundamental para poder liberarnos de las posibles sustancias tóxicas que producimos en el día día. Si fuéramos capaces de optimizarlo, mejoraríamos el sueño y la juventud cerebral.https://t.co/427MZzrzEF
These step-by-step papers with clear anatomical visuals were incredibly helpful during my sub-Is. They made the anatomy and approaches easier to understand and helped me get the most out of every case. Highly recommend for any student shadowing or rotating in #Neurosurgery.
