I'm here to tell you that the greatest motivation to be in medicine is also its greatest reward: competent and compassionate patient care. </video> <video> Why Making Brain Tumors Pink Helps Patients Live Longer Description: The use of intraoperative imaging agents such as 5-ALA can make malignant brain tumors appear a bright and fluroescent pink, an increasingly common and critical practice in brain tumor neurosurgery.
