[@incognito595]

Oh, doctor, you have had more than your share of heartbreak. I'm sorry. Even with all that, you have dedicated yourself to caring for others. You are extraordinary.

[@nancynelosn5830]

You folks are really lovely and compassionate.

Great Neurosurgeon Dr Brian Hoeflinger ❤❤

[@karicr1]

I absolutely love your You Tube channel. I think you are the most humble and down to earth man. Thank you for the work you are doing. I am in awe of neurosurgeons and the hours and workload they have. I honestly don’t know how you do it, but God! God bless you and keep educating all of us! PS Loved your story and your handsome, smart son. Can’t wait to hear your wife too, and see a lot more of your podcasts.

[@doctorhoeflinger]

I appreciate that!

[@Internal.Inferno]

I'm very impressed by your 2 man team! If I wasn't already consuming your videos as soon as they drop. I would think there was some kind of PR team behind this...but I know better. 1 of my favourites being when Dr Hoeflinger domenstrates the effects of alcohol and cannabis combined together on the body and brain. With visual representations! Love your content!

[@doctorhoeflinger]

Thanks for watching and the kind words! Just my son and I doing it 🙂

[@krutiprasanna489]

wow this was an amazing podcast!! just a few ideas of what you can talk about.. 1.med school journey and residency journey 2. a case or a patient who had a great impact on your life 3.neurosurgery procedures and cases that are rare that you faced btw huge respects for you! i'm a pre med aspiring to get into med school!! and i would love to hear your journey

[@doctorhoeflinger]

Thanks for watching! These are some great suggestions and we will definitely discuss them in an episode(s)

[@jolinbarilla2229]

Great information, I look forward to future podcasts.

[@doctorhoeflinger]

Glad to hear it!

[@dakotawinters5062]

It’s good to see a humble doctor. I’ve seen a lot of very rude and entitled doctors. Like a god complex. Very refreshing to see.

[@alexandermgarcia8569]

It was a pleasure seeing this first episode, and I really hope that we are able to see more in the future. I am going to start college in September, and going to take a neuroscience course for my very first time. I hope that one day I could become a good neurosurgeon as you Doctor Hoeflinger! Thank you for sharing your experiences.

[@doctorhoeflinger]

Wishing you luck as you start the next step of your journey!

Thanks for your work!

[@RahulKumar-gy2iy]

This is an amazing podcast and I’m very grateful there are so many great doctors out there

[@doctorhoeflinger]

Thank you!

[@57highland]

Dr. Brian: The following is part of a "Foreword" that was written for an account of the assassination of President Kennedy: "There is implicit in all human tragedy a waste, a pointlessness. Tragedy unobserved is even more pointless. But tragedy unremembered surely must rank with profound sin." So, it is good that we remember and learn from your family's tragedy through hearing you speak about it.

[@doctorhoeflinger]

Thanks for showing me that

[@beverlyquinn9036]

I work as an Occupational Therapust and have seen the after effects of drunk driving. Bryn Mawr Rehab used to have a wonderful program to try and prevent this. It is such a tragedy and the people who do this have no understanding of the ramifications.

[@ssdegol]

I just bought your book. I can’t wait until it arrives. ❤ Thank you!

[@OfficalEmilyP]

Definitely bring Cindy on! I’m a forensic science major but now work in a clinical laboratory in a trauma 1 hospital. Would love to hear her stories! I also personally have Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy and love learning about anything neurology related! I’m 8 years seizure free! :)

[@Daevon1008]

I’d really love to see your surgeries!!! Amazing video !!!!

[@sharonevans1257]

Thank you for sharing your life with us! 💕

[@loothogs1273]

[@Ruhi-bi3fw]

Respected Doctor, Im a student studying in India Im currently in 12th grade but i want to pursue medicine in U.S. Im aiming to go into general surgery. Im preparing for the Mcat exam and I dream to go to the Harvard University for further education. Could you please share some advice on how should i enter into a prestigious university in US It would be really helpful on your part.

[@danielleohare3364]

Your Appreciated. ❤

[@doctorhoeflinger]

Thank you!

[@chuckmcdonald8849]

I swear Dr. Hoeflinger removed a drain from my back in 2012 at St. Anne's Dr. Zakeri did the surgery but I believe Dr. Hoeflinger fell on the weekend duty

[@missmiss975]

Also, I lost my husband and can't recover.. I won't let him go, ever.

[@diarysawan]

I'm so sorry 😢

[@chuckmcdonald8849]

Do the hospitals in Toledo have Scoliosis xray machine's?

[@missmiss975]

Difficult question. In 2016 my son had a job site injury. He is now 30 and denies residuals. He is a welder and a heavy weight came down from the ceiling and hit his left frontal. He now has a similar Harry Potter scar. He was a trauma pt at presby in Pittsburgh, PA. Had a successful craniotomy/plasty. When I first saw him , I watched as his csf dripped down his hair. But he had no pain or loc. I've cared for pts with excruciating ha from spinals. Some require a blood patch for recovery? I know that this fluid is replaced quickly, but why did my son not have head pain. How could his brain remain buoyant with such a large loss of csf? Something I've always wondered but didn't ask. Thank you

[@missmiss975]

His hard hat was not on

[@57highland]

Dr. Brian: Do you remember (or do your residency under or with) Dr. Paul Maurer in Rochester? He was or still is one of the top neurosurgeons in Rochester, I think.

[@doctorhoeflinger]

Yes. Paul Maurer was there my whole residency. He is an awesome person and surgeon. Do you know him?

[@57highland]

@@doctorhoeflinger No, I don't know Dr. M. But he came to general attention in Rochester in 2009 when he did surgery on a police officer who had been shot in the head and, amazingly, survived.

[@danielleohare3364]

I would like a book for my Daughter. How Do I get a Book ?

[@doctorhoeflinger]

If you go to our website: BrianMatters.com you can order one and we will ship it to you. Thanks

[@danielleohare3364]

How do I send you a private message, I have a question for you. I have health issues. I am in NY. I have a situation. Please help me. Thank you.

[@hibbahmalik3473]

Can you please have women in your podcasts? I feel like women have a different view to offer and I would love to see that on your channel. You can also bring Cindy along for nutritional/parenthood advice tailored to Americans. I feel that Americans are in an unique situation. Please and thank you 💜❤️.

[@doctorhoeflinger]

Yes definitely! We will be having Cindy and also my daughter, Christie on at times (when they want to) 🙂
