Addressing the ethical issues of sports medicine, Dr. Green suggested the essential question, “How can we make sports safer without eliminating the essence of the sport?” Part of the answer is to watch and treat. An even more effective answer is to come to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of injuries and illness and somehow come between those and the players. Per Dr. Green, a physician\u2019s job is not complete until the patient returns to his or her previous level of activity.<\/p>\n
TBI is less common in baseball, but it does happen. Fifty percent of injuries happen to catchers, even though they are only one out of nine players on the field. In 2017, new rules were instituted to try to limit players\u2019 exposure to situations that cause injury. This has achieved significant reduction in injury without changing the basics of the game.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”2547″ img_size=”500×300″ alignment=”center”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”16px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1536602858167{background-color: #0c80cd !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner css=”.vc_custom_1536602920940{padding-right: 15px !important;padding-left: 15px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Dr. Bagan suggested there are limited opportunities for service in the U.S., but there is great need throughout the rest of the world, with some locations having no access to neurosurgeons. He focused on Nepal, where 23 million people were served by a single neurosurgeon.<\/p>\n
Dr. Haglund encapsulates international service into the three T\u2019s: Technology (seek donations from hospitals, purchasing agents, company representatives), Twinning (all levels raise the entire team) and Training (also known as \u2018teach them to fish\u2019).<\/p>\n

Dr. Rock, who has been working with the Foundation for International Education in Neurological Surgery (FIENS) for 15 years, accepted his award. \u201cI stand before you today humbled by this.

Dr. Lunsford, a former Van Wagenen fellow, delivered \u201cJumpstarting Your Career in Neurosurgery,\u201d focusing on the opportunities that came from his Van Wagenen Fellowship, which he spent in Sweden studying stereotactic radiosurgery. He concluded his lecture with the following advice: \u201cRide the next wave of innovation as you build your neurosurgical career.
