  10. Edward C. Benzel, MD • Reflectionsfrom a Spine Surgeon Past, Presente & Future CNS congressquaterly - summer 2012 I see in the trainees of today, on a routine basis, a substantial reliance on technology - at the expense of what I perceive to be a more appropriate reliance on intrinsic knowledge, common sense, and the fundamentals of spine surgery. Some sort of re-orientation may be in order. I feel privileged to have had the exposure I had. I am better because of it. I can only hope that I and my contemporaries can craft a way to provide this privilege for the next generation, the trainees of today.
