      Much respect to you. You have to be under constant stress as a neurosurgeon. How do you handle stress? Please eat healthier. While the burger looked good, that will clog your arteries. How do you relax? What are your hobbies? Are you glad you became a neurosurgeon? I enjoy your videos and your humble nature.

      Was Neurologist a realistic option for you if you could not do neurosurgery? Presumably you learn the same type of biology and it sounds like interventionalist neurology has procedures similar to neurosurgery?

    "Thank you for your service" should be more commonly said to doctors and medical staff than soldiers. It is harder to save a life than take one. They do, after all, risk their life and health day in and day out, usually under conditions that should not be legal... Eg 24 hour shifts. I have nothing against the military, got family in the service. But I think the saying should apply to doctors and medical people too. They're the backbone of the UK, and incredibly humble, they deserve more.

      You don't have to do internships in anything but neurosurgery, because it is counterproductive, since you will only learn ill-fitting surgical techniques and movement in other specialties.
      At least in my country; I know the US does things differently.
      Only neuroradiology internship makes sense.

      Check the programs and tell me again there is no intern year in the US and no other surgical subspecialties.

    I really resonated with what you talked about in terms of mental health. I was in hospital from 2nd January-16th March 2020 and since discharge almost all my care was cancelled. I didn't have access to my normal support networks and coping strategies and its been pretty tough. And I have a lot more support and privileges than I know a lot of other people get. This was a really interesting video and thank you for your service.

    My dad has a thing called an Aeropress that makes espresso-type coffee using air pressure. It’s much simpler than your machine though-it just has two cup-shaped bits that fit together that you press down on to create the pressure.

    • @louisew7065
      @louisew7065 4 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      S K This isn’t doctor-specific accommodation. This is an emergency situation so they’ve literally had to repurpose the nearby university’s student accommodation (which is of course not going to be fancy) just so the doctors don’t end up being delayed commuting to the hospital due to the reduced transport. Under normal circumstances, a doctor wouldn’t need to sleep next to the hospital for multiple days before a night shift. Sure, it would be nice for 5* hotels to be booked for the doctors, but the NHS doesn’t exactly have that much money to rent rooms for the tens of thousands of staff members across the country that would need overnight accommodation

    for that. I’ve always had this doubt, is having neck pain a big issue for a Neurosurgeon or any kind of surgeon. Do people quit surgical training because of neck pain. Should people who have propensity for neck pain or back pain never consider surgery? I’ve heard a surgeon, one of my seniors, say that you can’t do anything about the pain, you’ll have to get used to it. Your thoughts ?

      Well done Ruby! Im not a neurosurgeon but im a 31 year old mom who dropped out of school before my final exams and now trying to become a Nurse. The advice i can give you is always follow what interests you, that tends to be what people have a talent for. Work hard in school and dont be like me who was really smart but didnt finish school and it is much harder to follow my dreams now while looking after my children too :).

    • @pookie_sliceandboba249
      @pookie_sliceandboba249 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Depending on where u r ,in my country medical school is 6 years followed by a 6 to seven year residency program which would mean u would be a neurosurgeon at 39-40
      However if you in a country like the US and you need a Bachelors of Science degree (i think ) it would be 4 years as a premed unless u already have the degree and go into medical school at 26 and spend 4 years in medical school ,then 6 to seven years in residency you would be 37 years old otherwise without your premed degree you would be in your early 40s since u would be having to do your premed
      But just do your research based onthe country you in and correct me if I'm wrong have a good day
