| Nothing I like better than an unassuming badass. He even stopped and help push a few cars stuck on the way and now says…this isn't news.
Remind me to head (bad pun) up there if I ever need a good neurosurgeon.

| I saw that story a couple of times since I live in Birmingham. If he didn't come in to operate, the patient was probably going to die. | |

| Yes, Eric and one of the things I respect this guy for is that he said the patient's recovery was a miracle. When I heard that, I nearly fell out of my chair.
Seems to me it might just have had a little something to do with a surgeon and surgical team's really focused skill and talent.

| I hope he gets more publicity for going above and beyond than any of the athletes, entertainers, or politicians get for the drug, alcohol, illegal things they get publicity for.. | |
