      Like the other comments state, after 20 hours your short term memory does begin to falter. Around hour 32 things get odd.
      I just found your channel and my goal is become a neurosurgeon in the states. I look forward to your wisdom. Thanks for sharing with us!

      Dear oh dear..Nothing much has changed since the late 1960s/early 70s. This brings back memories of exhausted House Officers. The positivity and commitment of the encumbrants never fail but blow me away. I'm sitting here on a Bank Holiday Weekend remembering hating when Christmas or indeed Easter was tagged onto a weekend. It's a pretty long shift without sleep and food for some. I thought conditions had improved. I do recall a H.O. having an epileptic fit on Gloucester Ward purely from exhaustion and lack of food. A job like that was indeed a baptism of fire. Night Sisters like myself took on a lot of responsibility to try and support them. Sometimes having to go and physically drag them out of bed armed with a cold wet flannel as there was a limit to what a Sister could legally do and we had our own heavy workload to support nurses and patients with not least supervised regular turns on strikor frames medications to supervise and distraught relitaves to comfort. One moment of nostalgia was triggered on seeing the current great view. Our topmost view came from Helen Raphael Ward over the city of London. No Shard then. No Gerkin, no cheesegrater. The blinds would go up with a flourish on the arrival of the Tea Trolley coupled with a rendering of " Earth hath not anything to show more fair, dull would he be of souls who could pass by a sight so stunning in its majesty. This city now doth like a garment wear the beauty of the morning silent, bear. Ships, Towers, Domes, Theatres and Temples lay open to the fields and to the sky" from "Upon Westminster Bridge" oh the wonderful Royal London Hospital and it's people right up to today.......so proud of you.👏

    I have a soft spot for neurosurgeons. My daughter wrecked her bicycle when she was 8. A couple of hours and two separate emergency visits later she was on a MedEvac chopper with a subdural hematoma and unresponsive in flight. I watched her be unloaded from the helicopter, the surgeon assessed her in minutes and sent her to surgery immediately. After about 2 hours, a craniotomy and evacuating the blood clot he told us she was alive but didn’t know if there would brain damage or cognitive problems later. She’s now 29, married, smart and perfectly healthy. Thank you Dr. Joel Pickett of Huntsville AL.

    Neurosurgeons sure have it rough! Good thing they dont get involved in a horrific car accident, thus permanently damaging their hands forever and ending their entire career, which in turn cause them to join some kind of shady magic cult to heal their hand and accidentally become the Supreme Sorcerer with a device capable of turning back time.. right?

    2 years to go until I'm a resident. I thought about neurosurgery, but man I don't want to ruin my life for my job.
    I've talked to many neurosurgeons and the majority said that they regret doing it. No free time, no time for the kids, constant stress and work and finally health problems that come with it later on. So I guess it's a nope for me, even though it's super fascinating.
