When Janet Sutherland-Madden’s mother passed away recently, one of her final wishes was to donate a hundred of Janet’s books (“Nose Over Toes”) to the UIC Department of Neurosurgery. That wish was fulfilled over the weekend. Here is a photo of Janet with Dr. Konstantin Slavin.
Dr. Konstantin Slavin’s clinical interests are diverse applications of surgical neuromodulation and functional neurosurgery. This includes treatment of pain, movement disorders, epilepsy, and psychiatric diseases with a particular interest in the treatment of facial pain, cancer-related pain, Chiari malformation, stereotactic radiosurgery, brain tumors, and spinal problems. He has received many clinical and professional awards, including “Most Compassionate Doctor,” and for many years has been included in the prestigious “Top Surgeons” and “Best Doctors” lists in the USA. Dr. Slavin is a professor of neurosurgery and head of the Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery section at UIC.
The book will be given out to patients who are afflicted with brain aneurysms. Janet is an inspiration to those patients because of her determined and successful recovery. She shows them that anything is possible.
