Dr. Joshua Bederson - "Brave Staten Island Cop Hopes to Return After Lifesaving Brain Operation"
NYPD Detective Todd Szebenyi was nearly paralyzed by the pain pulsing through his head while working out at a gym near his Staten Island home. But he had a rare brain condition, an arteriovenous malformation, or AVM, that was threatening to stop the marathon-running cop dead in his tracks. Szebenyi decided to go to The Mount Sinai Hospital, where he met with Joshua Bederson, MD, chairman of neurosurgery for Mount Sinai Health System. The doctor also saved police Officer Eder Loor in 2012 after the cop had a 3 1/2-inch blade jabbed into his brain by a schizophrenic in Harlem.
