Cherokee Neurosurgeon is the first ever authorized biography of famed neurosurgeon, Dr. Charlie Wilson; one of America's great neurosurgical pioneers. Of Cherokee heritage, Dr. Wilson was a founder of the field of neuro-oncology and one of the world'sleading practitioners of microneurosurgery for the treatment of brain tumors and intracranial aneurysms. Cherokee Neurosurgeon gives fascinating insight into Dr. Wilson's inspirations, achievements, and failures -- revealing how Wilson achieved international success, and how his family and colleagues suffered from his fanatical work ethic, blunt perfectionism, and driving energy.--From publisher description.
