Dr. Bill Lougheed was able to navigate residents through even the most complex neurosurgical procedures with complete and often heroic patience, always ensuring for the patient his usual expert technical result but still leaving intact the resident’s sense of pride and achievement, the feeling that he, the resident, “had done it”. A gifted technical surgeon, a thoughtful and inventive neurosurgeon, Dr. Lougheed was above all else one of Canada’s great teachers of operative neurosurgery. Canada’s pioneer microneurosurgeon, Dr. Lougheed brought the Toronto General Hospital to the very forefront of the emerging field of vascular neurosurgery.
