This past Friday, Neil Martin, MD, UCLA Neurosurgery chairman visited Pennsylvania Hospital - the Nation's first hospital.
During his visit, Dr. Martin gained a deeper appreciation for the history of medicine while getting a glimpse of the future of neurosurgery by observing a procedure called fully endoscopic microvascular decompression performed by John Y.K. Lee, MD.
