Adam Brish was born in Lodz, Poland. He escaped the concentration camps by hiding. After the war, he went to medical school in Lodz, worked at a hospital in Israel for seven years, and then immigrated to the United States. Brish moved to Marquette in 1966 to start the neurosurgery at Saint Luke's Hospital, which later became Marquette General Hospital. He worked for MGH until his retirement in 1993. He discusses why he stayed in Marquette, where his patients came from, outreach programs across the Upper Peninsula, how he trained his staff, and the changes in neurosurgery over the course of his career.
