Eliza Coupe
Eliza Coupe (born April 6, 1981) raised in Plymouth, New Hampshire. American actress and comedian Eliza Coupe, probably most known for her role as the spunky intern Denise Mahoney in the medical sitcom Scrubs, has been acting ever since her days in Plymouth Regional High School in Plymouth, New Hampshire. Before she graduated from the school in 2000, Eliza gained much experience and confidence as she was actively involved in Plymouth's award-winning theatre program under the direction of Ms. Sarah Bunkley. The small town girl moved on to study with the theatre program of the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) in Valencia, California.
In 2007, Eliza appeared in her first feature film, I Think I Love My Wife, a romantic-comedy written, directed, and starred in by veteran comedian Chris Rock. She then made her television debut in an episode of MTV's short-lived satire Nick Cannon Presents: Short Circuitz. Coupe also had guest-starring stints as Bret's girl on HBO's Flight of the Conchords and as Todd's ex-girlfriend on Samantha Who?. In 2009, she joined the wacky gang of Sacred Heart Hospital in the eighth season of Bill Lawrence's Scrubs.
Walter Edward Dandy (April 6, 1886 – April 19, 1946) was an American neurosurgeon and scientist. He is considered one of the founding fathers of neurosurgery, along with Victor Horsley (1857-1916) and Harvey Cushing (1869-1939). Dandy is credited with numerous neurosurgical discoveries and innovations, including the description of the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, surgical treatment of hydrocephalus, the invention of air ventriculography and pneumoencephalography, the description of brain endoscopy, the establishment of the first intensive care unit (Fox 1984, p. 82), and the first clipping of an intracranial aneurysm, which marked the birth of cerebrovascular neurosurgery. During his 40-year medical career, Dandy published five books and more than 160 peer-reviewed articles while conducting a full-time, ground-breaking neurosurgical practice in which he performed during his peak years about 1000 operations per year (Sherman et al. 2006). He was recognized at the time as a remarkably fast and particularly dextrous surgeon. Dandy was associated with the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Johns Hopkins Hospital his entire medical career. The importance of his numerous contributions to neurosurgery in particular and to medicine in general has increased as the field of neurosurgery has evolved.
