Many doctors keep symbols or objects at home or in their office that remind them why they chose a career in medicine.
For Neurosurgeon Matthew Hunt, MD, that item is a blanket gifted to him by one of his patients. Each time he sees it, he feels re-energized and is reminded of the work that still needs to do be done to advance patient care.
We sat down with Hunt to talk about his work as a University of Minnesota Health neurosurgeon and neurosurgical oncologist, his observations on technology and its ability to drive new solutions for patients and his work training the next generation of doctors in Minnesota. Hunt is also a member of the brain tumor program at Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota.
