By: Katrina Firlik  
Katrina Firlik is a neurosurgeon, one of only two hundred or so women among the alpha males who dominate this high-pressure, high-prestige medical specialty. She is also a superbly gifted writer–witty, insightful, at once deeply humane and refreshingly wry. In Another Day in the Frontal Lobe, Dr. Firlik draws on this rare combination to create a neurosurgeon’s Kitchen Confidential–a unique insider’s memoir of a fascinating profession.

Neurosurgeons are renowned for their big egos and aggressive self-confidence, and Dr. Firlik confirms that timidity is indeed rare in the field. “They’re the kids who never lost at musical chairs,” she writes. A brain surgeon is not only a highly trained scientist and clinician but also a mechanic who of necessity develops an intimate, hands-on familiarity with the gray matter inside our skulls. It’s the balance between cutting-edge medical technology and manual dexterity, between instinct and expertise, that Firlik finds so appealing–and so difficult to master.

Firlik recounts how her background as a surgeon’s daughter with a strong stomach and a keen interest in the brain led her to this rarefied specialty, and she describes her challenging, atypical trek from medical student to fully qualified surgeon. Among Firlik’s more memorable cases: a young roofer who walked into the hospital with a three-inch-long barbed nail driven into his forehead, the result of an accident with his partner’s nail gun, and a sweet little seven-year-old boy whose untreated earache had become a raging, potentially fatal infection of the brain lining.

From OR theatrics to thorny ethical questions, from the surprisingly primitive tools in a neurosurgeon’s kit to glimpses of future techniques like the “brain lift,” Firlik cracks open medicine’s most prestigious and secretive specialty. Candid, smart, clear-eyed, and unfailingly engaging, Another Day in the Frontal Lobe is a mesmerizing behind-the-scenes glimpse into a world of incredible competition and incalculable rewards.

All items fit the Eufy 30C perfectly.
Style: 19 Pack
We bought a Eufy 30C several months ago. After each time it is run, I clean the dust collection chamber, brush dust out of the filter and from the sponge-like pre-filter. After several uses, the filters simply were becoming clogged with tiny dust particles. This kit holds 10 filters and pre-filters, 8 brushes (or four sets) and one main roller brush. Every piece fits perfectly. They look and feel like original quality materials. This is a great set of replacement parts to keep your Eufy working like new.

Works great, easy to setup. It's my second unit for the basement level. Picks up all the fur from a large Rottweiler and a small Rat Terrier.

Not worth it
Style: L50 SES
Worked great for 5 months and then the WiFi connectivity stopped working rendering the vacuum useless. Because it’s refurbished it was past its warranty and the company refused to do anything about it other than offer a discount on a product that cost four times as much even after the discount.

Great vacuum, but it only works on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi
Style: L50 SES
I missed the last line on the description that states in only works on 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi. I have AT&T fiber and the router they installed only runs on 5.0 GHz. The vacuum still works, but without all of the fancy conveniences. Just be aware of this and if you are not familiar with what it means, check before you purchase one. This is the only reason I am giving it a 4 and not a 5. It is my fault for missing it, so just be aware.
