Dr. Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa is a neurosurgeon and director of the Brain Tumor Program at Johns Hopkins Hospital. This is quite an achievement in its own right. But what’s so incredible and so inspirational about the surgeon is his life journey.
Stanford Medical School has just published the following video “Medcast” of the doctor’s speech:

Quinones-Hinojosa discusses his remarkable journey and the role that hard work and passion played in fulfilling his dreams.
