Growing up, Phillippe Mercier was one of my brother's best friends and one of two of his friends who were like older brothers to me. I still think of him that way to this day and I cannot put into words how proud I am of him; I cried watching this. This was such an amazing TED talk. It was little crazy watching the person who used to tease me about if I had kissed a boy yet, talk about doing brain surgery on children. Phil saves lives and this technology is incredible. Medicine is one of those fields that is ever evolving and improving and it's so fascinating and mind blowing (please excuse the pun) to see things like this and know how it's going to not just improve lives, but save them as well. Not all heroes wear capes. Phil, if you ever read this, you are definitely one of my heroes.
Mam, u should upload a video of you and him talk together, maybe about memories of Ur childhood or something like that...
So so impressive
yeah, so impressive and useful. his work is so overpriced that probably if your kid would ever need that, most probably you wouldn't be able to afford it.
@@josearg421 Get over yourself. While he's saving children's lives, you're sitting in your basement being a troll.
@@josearg421 dude He is a surgeon, a neurosurgeon!

Thank you 👨⚕ Doctor.
Thanks

I earned my PhD and should have gone to medical school instead. This is absolutely fascinating and is an example how technology should be used.
I mean you can still go to medical school, but if you have a good job with your PhD, it’s not necessary.
Dr. Q No can do my friend. I’m 45 ;) I do have a good job, but I truly believe I would enjoy medicine more and would have become quite good at it.
Samuel L. Bronkowitz, ok go ahead. It’s an arduous path but the reward is unimaginable.
I would suggest going the D.O route because they accept more “medicine as a second career” people compared to M.D.
Dr. Q I’d like to, but I’d need to take a few years of pre-med courses, then med school, then residency. That would put me in my mid-to-late 50’s when finishing residency and I can’t imagine I’d get accepted into med school (and understandably so) and the financial aspect wouldn’t make sense. But I appreciate the encouragement!
Samuel L. Bronkowitz, if you really want to, you could save up some money and go to a Caribbean M.D school.
Anything is possible. If you want to be a doctor badly, then make it happen. I’m in high school and I’m going to become a doctor. It’s my dream and I won’t stop until it happens. Same thing for you. I am glad to have my parents for financial help, but many people don’t, and they take out student loans. You can do that as well.
It may not seem probable but if you want to practice medicine, go for it. You’ve got one life buddy. Up in Heaven there is no medical school.
Its inspirational for me
It became about the journey when you reached the destination
