As you have seen, we use the symbol of the Bulfinch Building as a link to the MGH Neurosurgery homepage.

Neurosurgical Grand Rounds at MGH are presented in the Ether Dome Amphitheater located in the dome of the Bulfinch Building each Thursday from 8-9 a.m.. We use Mr Hinkley's painting of the first ether operation as a link to our Neurosugery Grand Rounds.
