He first came to the U.S. as an undocumented migrant worker from Mexico. Today, DR. ALFREDO QUINONES-HINOJOSA (Dr. Q) is the head of neurosurgery at the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville. Hear how he journeyed from the fields of California, to becoming an American citizen, graduating from Harvard Medical School. He’s found joy helping cancer patients; operating on their brains — while they’re awake. The world knows Dr. Q, thanks in part to an appearance in a Netflix/BBC documentary series. There’s even a movie about his life in the works!
