It’s really a privilege for Igor Levy-Reis, MD, to do what he loves and have the work recognized, especially by his peers.
Doctors are eternal students—always learning, particularly from patients. As one of Dr. Levy-Reis’ mentors said, “it’s a house that’s never finished.”
The brain is the most fascinating organ and the last frontier of the body. When it stops working, life ceases to exist. Neurosciences have achieved a tremendous progress in understanding of the works of the mind in the past 20 years. From how memories are formed to how people behave. Maybe one day we can answer Freud’s—who by the way was a neurologist—question: “Where does a thought goes when is forgotten?”
The high complexity of medicine, particularly in neurology, with shorter time to spend with patients nowadays makes it challenging to practice at times, which is reflected in the increased number of doctors opting out of insurances. In spite of that, Dr. Levy-Reis tries ry to remember the lesson that Prof Osler taught more than 100 years ago: “Just listen to your patient, he is telling you the diagnosis.” And that will never change. The complexity of it though is a certainty that humans will never be replaced by any software which is unable to think and generate new hypothesis. If you want a guaranteed job in the AI era, become a neurologist. To make a diagnosis is like deciphering a complex puzzle. The greater the challenge the greater the reward.
