The genius said "stigmatism":

What does stigmatism mean? stigmatism(noun) the condition of having or being marked by stigmata. stigmatism(noun) (optics) condition of an optical system (as a lens) in which light rays from a single point converge in a single focal point.

The brain surgeon meant to say "stigma" (stigma noun, stig·ma | \ ˈstig-mə \ plural stigmas or stigmata\ stig-ˈmä-tə , ˈstig-mə-tə \ Essential Meaning of stigma
1: a set of negative and often unfair beliefs that a society or group of people have about something.

And none of the the other genius' in the media called him out for using a complicated word of the wrong meaning.
