Alfredo Quiñones-Hinojosa, M.D. |
'Dr. Q' Movie Depicts Life Of SOM Professor
Brad Pitt and Disney Team up for Film about Hopkins Surgeon
Brad Pitt's production company Plan B has teamed up with Disney to develop a movie based on the life of Quiñones-Hinojosa, M.D., the head of brain tumor surgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital and
professor of neurosurgery and oncology at the
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.
Dr. Quiñones-Hinojosa's path to becoming a physician started in an unlikely place: a cotton field.
"These very same hands that now do brain surgery, right around that time they had scars everywhere from pulling weeds. They were bloody," he said in a 2012 CNN interview.
