    I was born and live in Mexicali, and I knew about Dr. Q. only a few weeks ago. The only thing I have to say is this man gives me inspiration and hope, it seems this region can have talented people, too.

    Wonderful story (I am currently reading his book). As a 1st generation American-Mexican myself, his perspectives and experiences move me to reconsider many of my own perceptions. Thank you Dr. Q. - Luis, RN ICU

    I'm a huge fan of Dr. Alfredo. Everyone should not only watch his interviews and Netflix episode on "The surgeon's cut" but also read every material he publishes. Despiste he was born in Mexico he's a Citizen of the world. A great inspiration!!!!

    inspiring story to tell, true mind power that breaks stereotypes, converts negativity into fuel that propels the rocket 🚀 to success, there really no words to describe how much a good mind can afford to society,

    Luck does not exist ... Hard work and advance to be better is the key. I am Mexican, cross illegally to the US 19 years ago, today I am a citizen finish 2 associates in a community college and start my business!
    Everything is possible if you put your main on your goal and of course, believe in yourself. To all people who think someone will handle everything to get what you want ... keep waiting, you will never reach whatever you "whish." People blame the government, their parents, the bad "luck", etc ... it is easy to blame others. You and only you are the master of your life.

    See now, if we didn't have immigration we would not have had a lot of our famous great thinkers or have been a great of a country as we are today, (or, used to be anyway) had all these amazing hard working people not came to america, and then go on to be great educated men & woman in our society, performing great feats of hard-work & good with a passion to help people. I have a feeling immigration wouldn't be perceived as near as bad as it is today if we had enough work/jobs to sustain everyone.

      Old school style of reporting. Low key, keep opinion and self out of the interview, let the person being interviewed be the star

    I was so happy I had found him. He turned out to be a liar. Untouchable. Under the umbrella of Johns Hopkins. Let God handle this. That is all I have to say.

    • @ettats

      Liar? he's considered one of the top 5 neurosurgeons in the nation. Not sure what bs your spewing.

  • @opioid01
    @opioid01 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    One minute into the video i saw it in his eyes. Its same look all neurosurgeons have, gloating with self-importance as if they've found a cure for cancer, verging on the hypo-maniacal. There's only been a handful of truly great neurosurgeons and most of them were the humblest people i've ever seen.

    • @soundsiffy
      @soundsiffy 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +opioid01 imagine that, a studied man (or woman) of 15+ years in one of most difficult and demanding industries who has the audacity to "gloat" or feel "self-important". This man, just like any other, deserves all the credit he can get and if he wants to use his confidence and success to spread the word of his story than who is anyone to stop him? I hope his story helps persuade people from less fortunate backgrounds or those who think they are not "good enough" for a professional career to take a swing at it and believe that they CAN do what we has a society tell our kids and "be whatever they want to be".

    • @mariazieve3712
      @mariazieve3712 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This doctor has ALL the rights to be self important! I had my neurosurgeon which is brilliant too, but he never took time to speak with me, never! I asked him personally to have an appointment as I wanted to know what was going wrong, he was afraid or too busy or who knows what! So, this Doc. Q is a revolution! Let's put it this way. The matter of fact. I just wrote a comment asking about the opportunity of second opinion. You are not talking from a patient perspective, but I am!
      Thank you!

    • @mariazieve3712
      @mariazieve3712 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I would say more when I asked my doc about appointment I was told that I was hitting on him, Yep, it was mind boggling to me ! I know another doctor, who wouldn't reply or call back for simplest answer. My friends husband died just like a year ago. And another girl who died 11 years ago. And I'm attending a brain tumor support group so I know how surgeons are from other people.

  • @fragelicious
    @fragelicious 11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    He's a great doctor who's family cheated to get here. but that does not mean at all, that Americans do not have a right to expect the enforcement of their immigration laws. he is blind to the other side of the argument. that is unfair and he knows it. it wouldn't make a differance if all the Indian doctors snuck in. wrong is wrong, no matter wether he got away with it or not. look I'm a brain surgon leave my people alone, just doesn't cut it. and he knows that too.
