Our American Stories

The Story of Brain Surgery

On this episode of Our American Stories, Dr. Theodore Schwartz is an attending neurological surgeon and professor of neurological surgery at Weill Cornell Medicine in NYC, one of the busiest and highest ranked neurosurgery centers in the world. His book, "Gray Matters: A Biography of Brain Surgery" is part memoir and part medical history and tells a compelling story of the life of a neurosurgeon, alongside a compelling history of brain surgery itself.

Our American Stories tells stories that aren’t being told. Positive stories about generosity and courage, resilience and redemption, faith and love. Stories about the past and present. And stories about ordinary Americans who do extraordinary things each and every day. Stories from our listeners about their lives. And their history. In that pursuit, we hope we’ll be a place where listeners can refresh their spirit, and be inspired by our stories.
