About
THE TEAM

John read Eric Topol MD’s book, The Creative Destruction of Medicine, and it changed the course of his life. He then set to help curate advances in digital tech as it impacts medicine, at the Mother ship, www.InternetMedicine.com.
Then he met the “Hangout King”, Ronnie Bincer, and he immediately saw the potential of this platform to form communities, like Neurosurgery, to promote education in this field, and therefore created www.Neurosurgical.TV.
Now that we have become acquainted with the video platform, Zoom, we have migrated to that platform, and are hightly encouraged by their specialization of webinars, ease of use of the platform, and overall future. We are, however, keeping our ears to the ground, and man, does that get uncomfortable!
