Katrina was told her brain AVM was “inoperable” and that she should avoid physical activity for the rest of her life.

After her AVM ruptured during a workout, she found her way to Nirav Patel, MD, neurosurgeon at the Mass General Brigham Neuroscience Institute and founder of the Brigham and Women’s Hospital AVM Program. After carefully reviewing her case, Dr. Patel was confident he could safely remove the AVM and give her the best chance at a cure.

Following weeks of intensive care and a 13-hour open microsurgery, Katrina woke up feeling like herself again. Today, she’s back to running, hiking, paddle boarding, and playing with her kids.

“I feel lucky and optimistic, like I’ve gotten a second chance at life.” 💫

A time to honor the strength of those living with epilepsy, to amplify the voices that often go unheard, and to remind the world that this condition is far more complex than what most people see from the outside.

Epilepsy can mean exhaustion, nausea, confusion, fear, recovery… and moments that happen in silence, when no one is watching.

But it also means resilience, courage, and an incredible community that continues to show up every single day.
1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy in their lifetime.
That number is real. That impact is real. And awareness is how we make a difference.

This month, let’s educate, support, and speak up, because understanding saves lives, and compassion changes them.
Let’s make epilepsy visible. 💜⚡️

MGB Neurosurgery’s HURTS Project Receives Brigham Ignite Funding to Advance AI-Powered Patient Intake
 
The neurosurgery department is proud to announce that the HURTS (Holistic Universal Rapid Triage System) project has received funding for clinical introduction from the Brigham Ignite program as part of MGB Ventures.
 
HURTS is an LLM-based system that analyzes the complete medical record of a patient (but is not dependent on EPIC) and performs a focused clinical interview by text or voice. The physician reviews this information for clinical decision making. This system is in use with select patients and physicians at MGB to improve the quality of patient intake. Preliminary results were presented at CNS 2025 by Advait Patil, MS, HMS MD ’28.
 
HURTS champions:
Kevin Huang, MD
Ben Johnston, MD, PhD
Advait Patil, MS, HMS MD ’28
Omar Arnaout, MD
Hasan Zaidi, MD
Olivia Sutton, MD
Jason Yong, MD, MBA
Jeffrey He, HBS MBA ’26
Wendy Sun, HMS MD, PHD ’28
John Zielke, PhD
Raj Patel MD, MPH, MA
