Description

A thought experiment that spirals into something much deeper. In this episode of Deeply Unqualified:

• How the father of neurosurgery might’ve used TikTok, YouTube, or Instagram

• Why Cushing was already a content creator—just born a century too early

• The tension between surgical mastery and digital performance

• What we gain—and what we lose—when medicine becomes media

• A personal reckoning with legacy, attention, and the cost of silence

Would Cushing have gone viral?This isn’t just about one man.

It’s about how we tell stories in medicine—and who gets remembered.
