Knowledge is never complete- Igbo Proverb

Hi, I am Miracle C Anokwute and I am a neurosurgery resident. I am originally from Nigeria and immigrated to the United States as a child. Like most people in the world, I have always wanted to help others and it took me some time to figure out the best way that I could which involves combining science with patient care and surgical skill. This was one of my major deciding factors in becoming a neurosurgeon. During my experience as a neurosurgery resident, I have been fortunate to have been taught by a phenomenal group of neurosurgeons, neurosurgery residents, and patients. During my encounters, I have received "words of wisdom" from various individuals in my field that not only apply to neurosurgery but also to life in general. This blog is my way of sharing that with you. Now bear with me as I am not a naturally gifted or prolific writer. I look forward to sharing my journey with you through these words of wisdom and hope that through this blog, you may get a glimpse into the world of neurosurgery.
