By: Katrina FirlikKatrina Firlik is a neurosurgeon, one of only two hundred or so women among the alpha males who dominate this high-pressure, high-prestige medical specialty. She is also a superbly gifted writer–witty, insightful, at once deeply humane and refreshingly wry. In Another Day in the Frontal Lobe, Dr. Firlik draws on this rare combination to create a neurosurgeon’s Kitchen Confidential–a unique insider’s memoir of a fascinating profession.
Neurosurgeons are renowned for their big egos and aggressive self-confidence, and Dr. Firlik confirms that timidity is indeed rare in the field. “They’re the kids who never lost at musical chairs,” she writes. A brain surgeon is not only a highly trained scientist and clinician but also a mechanic who of necessity develops an intimate, hands-on familiarity with the gray matter inside our skulls. It’s the balance between cutting-edge medical technology and manual dexterity, between instinct and expertise, that Firlik finds so appealing–and so difficult to master.
Firlik recounts how her background as a surgeon’s daughter with a strong stomach and a keen interest in the brain led her to this rarefied specialty, and she describes her challenging, atypical trek from medical student to fully qualified surgeon. Among Firlik’s more memorable cases: a young roofer who walked into the hospital with a three-inch-long barbed nail driven into his forehead, the result of an accident with his partner’s nail gun, and a sweet little seven-year-old boy whose untreated earache had become a raging, potentially fatal infection of the brain lining.
From OR theatrics to thorny ethical questions, from the surprisingly primitive tools in a neurosurgeon’s kit to glimpses of future techniques like the “brain lift,” Firlik cracks open medicine’s most prestigious and secretive specialty. Candid, smart, clear-eyed, and unfailingly engaging, Another Day in the Frontal Lobe is a mesmerizing behind-the-scenes glimpse into a world of incredible competition and incalculable rewards.

Is a mountable power strip
Color: Black, Size: 10FT (Flat Plug), Color: Black, Size: 10FT (Flat Plug)
The power strip itself seems to work great as intended. It has been mounted under an adjustable/standing desk for over a year. My only complaint would be that the screws that came with them for mounting are very cheap. They came apart on me while screwing them in by hand, with pre-drilled holes. The screw heads came right off the screw shaft and part of it stuck in the desk. I had to slightly move the power strip and re-mount with different screws. Not a big problem as I had other screws, but kind of annoying. It has been powering everything on my desk just fine.

Great as always!
Color: Black, Size: 5FT (Flat Plug)
This is the second surge protector/strip that I've purchased from TROND - they provide a good value for the price, while packing in as many features as they can. I really enjoy the option of mounting this on a wall via outer screw holes for a better hold, and appreciate that it comes with four screws. This protector can handle somewhat larger transformers, and having two different plug orientations is absolute genius; it's really handy when you have horizontal ac adapters and don't want them blocking the other outlets. The 2 USB-A and single USB-C ports are a nice bonus, too! Overall, this is a great power strip/surge suppressor, and you get a lot for what you pay for.
P.S. - this comes with a small strip of paper that shows spacing for the two mounting screw holes on the back of the unit just in case you'd like to mount it that way. Additionally, having the offset, angled, and flat plug is very nice. THANK YOU TROND, that is very much appreciated!

Space saver and works!
Color: Black, Size: 5FT (Flat Plug)
I can't imagine why all surge protectors come with an option to screw them to a surface. I have screed this inside to one of garage cabinet sides an all my tool chargers connected to this. Such a space saver!

Nice oak corner shelf but check your measurements first
5 stars for the shelf, 3 stars for myself :-)
This is a well-made oak corner shelf that looks great where I put it. The wood is nice quality and the construction is solid.
Before you order though, do yourself a favor and check two things: 1) Make sure the size is actually big enough for what you need, and 2) Check that your corner is actually a true 90-degree angle. Turns out mine isn't perfectly square and now I'm trying to figure out how to position this thing properly.
Good product overall, just wish I'd measured more carefully before ordering.
