Neurosurgeon Facts

A neurosurgeon developed a spinal implant that could trigger an orgasm at the push of a button, successfully testing it on human patients before his company ran out of funding.

Snow and ice brought Birmingham, Alabama, to a standstill in January 2014. Neurosurgeon Zenko Hrynkiw was needed for emergency brain surgery at another hospital, so with traffic stuck he set off on foot in his scrubs. He walked miles through the storm until a stranger gave him a lift the rest of the way. He reached the hospital, operated, and the patient lived.
