Dr. David M. Frim

            When most people imagine a hero, they think of someone like Superman or Spiderman. But when I think of a hero, I think of someone who makes the world a better place. My hero is Doctor David M. Frim. Every week he goes to work ready to save lives. David Frim is fighting to make the world Chiari free. His hope, courage, and moral direction give him the qualities of a hero and make him one of the best Neurosurgeons in the world.   

            Frim is my hero because he helped saved my brother's life. Dr. David Frim deals with Chiari and other neurological malformations. He performs over one hundred brain surgeries every year. Since Dr. Frim is one of the highest ranked neurosurgeons in the world, he has many patients and more chances to save lives. Without the help of David M. Frim, my brother, Dante, would not be here or be living with extreme conditions.
