Brain surgery can sound terrifying — after all, the brain controls everything from movement to memory. But today’s neurosurgeons perform these procedures with incredible precision.

In this episode of Tumor Minutes, Netra explains why brain surgery is performed, how doctors plan operations using MRI and brain mapping, what happens during a craniotomy, and why some patients are awake during surgery. We also explore the technology that helps surgeons navigate the brain safely.

A concise, clinical breakdown of Tourette syndrome, common misconceptions, and how public backlash around I Swear shows the gap between storytelling and medical reality. This is the season finale, and the next season will cover surgical medicine.

In this special episode of Tumor Minutes, Netra shares a deeply personal tribute to her favourite actor of all time and reflects on how his life helped her understand her own epilepsy in a way no article, website, or medical explainer ever could. Instead of focusing on definitions or symptoms, this episode centres on the human side of epilepsy, showing how someone can live a creative, joyful, and meaningful life while quietly managing a neurological condition.

The episode explores his impact as an actor, the way people described him as someone who could light up even the heaviest rooms, and how the conversations sparked after his passing changed public awareness around epilepsy. It also looks at how his legacy lives on through advocacy, education, and youth empowerment, and why stories like his matter so much in shaping empathy, understanding, and support for people living with epilepsy today.
