{TRANSCRIPT}: - My name is Warren Selman. I'm the Chief Medical Executive of the Marcus Neuroscience Institute. I'm a neurosurgeon, and I specialize in the care of patients with brain tumors and cerebrovascular disorders. Neurological disorders are one of the things that can really rob a person of who they are. It's really getting to know a patient, understanding what's important to them, and trying to help them live the best lives they can have. I've been fortunate to be able to work with a company that's helped develop both augmented reality and virtual reality, that we're able to use the patient's own anatomy to actually construct what we plan to do, and then really have in our mind's eye at the time of surgery what we want to accomplish. I have been in Ohio all my life. I was born and raised in Toledo. When I was growing up, I was really sure that I was going to be a musician. One thing that influenced me greatly was when The Beatles came on the Ed Sullivan Show. From that moment on, I said I wanted to be a Beatle. Sadly, I did not quite have enough talent to be a Beatle. No one came knocking at my door asking me to join that band. I don't quite know how to put a finger on why music is so important to me. I know it resonates with me like nothing else does, but it isn't just listening. I've found I need to actually play the music. I've been in bands since being a teenager. The one in Cleveland is now called The Nerve. We've been together almost 20 years. If it were up to me, I would play all Rolling Stones. ♪ Ooh, see the fire is sweepin' ♪ ♪ High out on the street today ♪ We seem to have a lot of fun together, and when people come to see us, they certainly seem like they're having fun as well. Nothing gives me more pleasure than an afternoon with my band mates and trying to figure out a new song. I have a wonderful wife, Jennifer, who is a neuroscience nurse practitioner, and we share five children and two yellow labs. We love just getting together as a big family. My father was a cardiac surgeon. He taught me to be curious, to be committed, and to be compassionate. One of my father's favorite sayings was "Keep a happy mind," and I think that has sort of framed my way, not only of practicing medicine, but probably my philosophy of life as well. ♪ Johnny be good ♪
