Hey juice,

It's not really about him being african american. the reason I added him to my list it's because he's a neurosurgeon (and id like to be a neurologist). Yes he's black, and this is pretty cool becuz there arent a lot of black people in that field. And also you mentionned about other black physicians being famous, but the thread isnt about posting every single famous physicians, just a few i would really like to meet.

With that being said,

sorry if my post offended you.

 

What? How do you know how many black people are in neurosurgery and neurology?

 

However, what you wrote is quite common and you had no negative intention at all. I overreacted. Sorry about that.

i have his book. i couldn't get through it.

 

felt very preachy. it could have been how i was reading it, but it just felt like he was being fake about his attitude. had a pretty interesting upbringing though.

 

he does mention in the book about there being very few neurologists/neurosurgeons relative to the rest of the physician population and national population in general... then he goes on to say that there are even fewer that are involved with just head/brain issues... specifically, the surgical removal of tumors. i think that was the point where i stopped reading because it felt like he was saying- i'm the best, i do this and i do it all the time... the other guys just focus on other junk... therefore, they are not as good as me.

 

however, the guy is still a genius... just hard to read the book.

 

i can't remember if he goes on to say how many african american neurosurgeons there are, but the field itself is pretty exclusive (less than 1000 in the us) so it would stand to reason that there aren't that many in the us.
