This is a very detailed video, and I expect many of you will have questions! Join me on Mar 7 at 8AM PST (I'll be manning the live chat) and I'll answer your questions! Hit "Set reminder" so you can join me at that time! Really excited to share this video with you all =)
Can you do an orthopedic surgeon?
That’s 2:00am for me so I can’t be there 😢
C. Burkley and he is doing that next
Thanks so much
@@noreceptionn.r9134 ok
I’ve seen a team of neurosurgeons once from a distance. They look tried with dark bags underneath their eyes but all of them were laughing and looking so proud.
Awesome
Sounds depressing and martyr-ish
Looks like I’m already eligible 😂😂
@@kawaiikoibito3268 it's not.. you're working to bring people back towards life, so it all feels worth it in the end! (:
This comment scares and motivates me at the same time 😅
To all aspiring Neurosurgeons:
I recommend reading Do No Harm by Henry Marsh.
Nightshock Playz yes! This is one of my favorite books.
Yeah I’m a big fan of that too ;)
@@pattysavin876 An excellent book. I feel like many forget the fact that Neurosurgery, although a cool job, is one of the more burdensome emotionally.
Yes! Absolutely phenomenal book. I also recommend “When Breath Becomes Air” by Paul Kalanithi.
@@Mfolse7 I have yet to read that one, but I know how recommended it is by my friends. I will try and get that one read soon.
A general surgeon mentioned this to me:
If you ever feel down about your work, talk to a neurosurgeon to cheer yourself up
Lol
😂😂😂
Damn
Why did he say that
I'm very curious
Is it because neurosurgeons know how to motivate people or
@@monalisantoane6424 hahaha because it’s one of the most difficult fields ever filled with a lot of challenges
Please don’t ever stop doing these. They help so much I’m looking forward to seeing you cover many more (hopefully all) specialities
Victoria O yeah this is very interesting can’t wait for next week he is doing a so you want to be a othopidic surgeon (that’s what I want to do when I finish high school)
I agree these are really helpful
I want him to do Ob/Gy which is what I want to do it’s my first option and it interests me the most.
I second that
They motivate us 😀❤️
The good news is that when you finish your neurosurgery residency, if you decide to not practice you'll be old enough to draw Medicare.
Lmfao underrated comment
I want to do neuro but I think my brain will explode during my intern year after med school so I need to re think this lol
Omg 😂😂😂😂
Hisenberrg
i..... rude.... :(
so proud that my mom is a neurosurgeon and is advancing on her field even though she's a minority in it
@Rachel Darling woman are heavily under represented in neurosurgery, only 12% are female.
How much she make a year?
@@bryanjuarez2353 If you get into medicine for the money, dont go into medicine
@@rayanhabib8 bro you’re saying I shouldn’t expect any pay for being a neurosurgeon? Mans just wants to know how much they make, imagine you go all the way and finally make it to learn you’re making as much as a McDonald’s employee
@@invert8505 Money is important but I think what they're trying to say is that you shouldn't go into medicine just for the money when you're not passionate about it at all
Ever since i was on highschool i keep telling my self i want to be a neurosurgeon, im not that productive and smart, sometimes i even have problems memorizing things but i hope i can make it and also goodluck to those aiming to be a neurosurgeon. Im currently at Seniorhighschool so i think ill study smarter starting now
Same
Good luck!
Yeah good luck, having a target is the main thing, u will fullfill ur hope, bless u☀️
Same deal with me, goodluck to us
Hey man, I'm your same age and used to be in the same situation. If you want a big change in your life, search up and learn how to use memory palace, it's an incredible tool for learning
Same except I’m in middle school
Good luck
I commented neurosurgeon everytime AND IT'S FINALLY HAPEENING
wow thanks for all the likes
Np ❤
*this video appears while thinking maybe if I want to be a neurosurgeon while in med school*
Me: Thank you CIA and FBI.
Don’t forget the NSA and TH-cam algorithm!
As a neurosurgeon in the US, I would say this a great and very informative video. The only criticism I have is that you keep mentioning the surgeries are crude and less precise. I also did plastic surgery rotations as well as rotations in various other surgical subspecialties as a med student and I chose neurosurgery for the technical nuances of the surgeries. Micro vascular decompressions, skull base surgeries as you mentioned, surgical ligation of aneurysms, av fistulas, endoscopic surgeries, intramedullary spinal cord lesions, endovascular procedures (pipeline stents, selective embolizations, thrombectomies,)duroplastys, cerebral bypasses(ever see 10-mm prolene sutures used to anastamose vessels 2mm in size)? Even XLIF approaches for the spine with small working corridors are much more nuanced than most surgical procedures. DBS, stereoEEG placement (2-3mm off target can make a huge clinical difference in outcomes). Corpus callosotimes, selective amygdalohippocampectomies, functional hemispherectomties... the list goes on and on. The big difference in neurosurgery is that if you make a mistake, the stakes are much higher: you can cause a stroke leading to aphasia, plegia, blindness, coma and death. Hit the spinal cord during surgery and your patient will never walk again. The stakes are much higher. I’m not sure where you did your neurosurgery rotation but your exposure must have been very limited. to say it’s crude or imprecise in any way is an injustice to the field. Nonetheless I think your video is very informative and insightful. You guys did a great job. I will definitely recommend it to any medical student who is considering the field.
I admittedly do not have more than a few weeks of exposure to NSGY. When I was rotating a NSGY resident and attending I was working with mentioned it was more crude than people expected, and not as precise and meticulous (depending on what type of case you’re doing).
I’m all for differing opinions though, as long as my viewers get both sides to it. I like to think I also highlighted some of the more precise aspects in the video
Med School Insiders - you did a fantastic job highlighting the field. I am 100% recommending any medical student interested in neurosurgery to your video. That was the only critique I had. You pretty much nailed everything else to the tee and I commend you guys for that. You did a great job highlighting the subspecialties as well, I just feel that there are many procedures that are very nuanced and technically difficult. Perhaps I see them more then most general neurosurgeons being at the institution I’m currently at, but I do feel that our field is very technical and a lot of it has to do with the delicate “real estate” of the anatomy that we’re dealing with. Nonetheless I did not mean to come off as critical when my intentions were constructive at heart. Most people do not understand our hours, call schedule etc and as I said before, you nailed it with flying colors and you also described it from a layman’s perspective which I feel is extremely helpful for anyone who is or may be interested in the field in the future. You did a great job and I commend you for it!
I’m a junior in high school and when I was a freshman I’ve always wanted to be a neurosurgeon, however I now want to be an anesthesiologist now 😅. To those who are pursuing neurosurgery good luck, don’t give up, and god speed you are one of the smartest and dedicated people ever
Thanks, since the age of 7 I’ve wanted to be one, now I’ve just started my job in the hospital -as a neurosurgeon.
What made you change your mind
@@gamer-friendlycustoms5091 congrats!!
@@pameladeasis8178 Thank you
Why anesthesiologist?
If I became a neurosurgeon, I’ll act like a depressed sociopath with a god complex in hospitals on purpose lol
Chipotle?
House?
I don’t get it
You don't act but do it naturally by then. Maybe u don't even know yourself lol
Amir lmao I remember seeing your comment on the Brainbook’s video, you must really want to be a neurosurgeon
Thought about Derek Shepherd during the whole video
🎶♥️😂
Lonely Pluto :(
Lonely Pluto no need to go off on her you know. yes he isn’t a real neurosurgeon obviously and yes you’re right people on that show very very badly portray the rigorous life and experiences of surgeons. but it’s okay for her to think of him during this video, he isnt a real neurosurgeon obviously but if she watches the show and thought about him it’s okay, as long as there’s an understanding between a show and real life.
Lonely Pluto bro you’re being a gatekeeping, elitist jerk. Just in case you needed someone to tell you. I don’t care how right you are (even though you’re not), you’re just being unnecessarily mean, and you sound insufferable.
Me too
"The stakes are high and there's a consistently high SPHINCTER TONE and level of vigilance"
I think that joke went over too many people's heads xD
High sphincter tone?
Means no easing yourself all day.
😂 Just got the joke
funny thing is, he was talking about it as soon as I read this.
@@oloruntobaettu5756 Besides the fact that some cases can be gruesome enough to make you wanna shit your pants
"...went over too many people's *heads* xD."
I got that
Wait rocket surgeon sounds badass, do a video on that
During _high_ _school,_ I was shadowing some neurosurgeons because one of the physicians there was a family friend. One surgeon was notorious for being the perfect stereotype of the arrogant, large-and-in-charge hardass who was simply better than you… and he’d make certain you knew it. So I’m standing a few feet away from him fully scrubbed in the OR, and he starts rattling off some polite questions, ignoring most of what I said in response. Clearly he missed the part when I told him I was a _high_ _school_ student lol. So eventually, once he reached whatever part of the spine he was operating on, he suddenly starts launching questions at me about god-only-knows what branch of whatever T3 nerve etc etc… and after like the fifth “I don’t know,” he literally says “Jesus, the fuck do you know?” Luckily I have a thick skin and was mostly laughing at the ridiculousness in my head lol, but at that point, all the scrub nurses immediately launched at him like a pack of hyenas, explaining to him (again) that I was just a junior in HS, not a medical student lol. As per usual, the scrub nurses saved the day.
i would quite enjoy “so you want to be a trauma surgeon”
Galactic Axolatl yes
Galactic Axolotl YESSSSS. I feel like they are so overlooked on since they need to be quick thinking in ANY circumstance. I want to to be one :)
Celebrity Memes EVERY doctor needs to think quickly in every situation. NOT just the trauma department
melina ugh while that’s true to a degree, trauma surgeons have to think faster than a lot of specialities, especially ones who almost always have scheduled cases. with trauma, you go from not knowing what you’re working with to operating in minutes. that’s usually very different than specialities such as general or peds. while those specialities are very difficult in their own respects, they aren’t all about quick, high-stake thinking, most of the time.
You should definitely make a video
on, “So do you want to be an Oncologist?” I think this is a field many people don’t talk about however many are interested on it. I would greatly appreciate it.
Ps: Great and really informative video, thank you!!!
Please include surgical oncologist/ oncological surgeon and radiation oncologist routes.
I highly stand by this always wanted to be an oncologist (currently going through it)
Yes!
I would love to watch one on that. Many of my friends want to become Oncologists.
Its one of the fields I like very much. Oncology or oncosurgeon . Its very good if you become one 💜💜
The rewards of a neurosurgeon having success with patients is just amazing. I'd love to be a Neurosurgeon but I really want to start a family after Med School. Life is short and I'm trying to make the most of it. :(
I will graduate from medical school in two months and I will run for neurosurgery residency
*I wish to get back to this comment as a specialist in 7 years*
Wish me luck
Edit:
Under some circumstances I did one year in *Radiology* and gained some experience in it and now I am doing *Gynecology* for also one year. It's just temporary until I have a stable place to live in then I will run for *neurosurgery residency*
Update?
@@Ihatethef14 It’s a surprise to be revealed. Cmon’
Replying here to see where u are in 6 yrs
gllll
Wishing you good luck bro
Imagine hearing the neuro surgeon looking this up while he is working on your brain
I remember watching this video 2 years ago when I was a MS4, now I'm a neurosurgery resident! Hope to do a cerebrovascular fellowship afterwards.
Here some tips to whoever is interested:
1) If you're a high schooler, go to the best possible college you can. This will help you get into an elite medical school
2) A lot of neurosurgeons come from top 20 medical schools, work hard in college and get into a great med School. Becoming a neurosurgeon will be significantly harder if you go DO or lower tier MD.
3) You need to do well in medical school, but by that point the pressure isn't as high. You don't need to be 1st in your class, but ace the Step 1/Step 2. Get involved with neurosurgical research.
4) Don't force a circular peg into a square hole, surgery isn't for most and you'll realize that by the time you're doing rotations as a MS3.
Feel free to reply with any questions about the field!
Can you become a neurosurgeon if you got very bad grades in freshman year of high school but very good grades in every other year of high school?
@@bobbygob292 Absolutely. Medical schools, let alone neurosurgery residencies, are never going to look at your high school grades.
You just need to focus on doing well in college.
@@mcdavid4606 Is it possible to get into a good college if you did badly in freshman year of high school but did well in every other year of high school?
@@bobbygob292 Yes. You're only 14/15 years old when you're a freshman hopefully schools should so some leniency.
For college obviously do what makes sense for you location/money wise but what worked for me was going to the best college I got into (Columbia). I have 0 doubt that was a major factor in connecting me into a top 20 medical school.
@@mcdavid4606 I just wanted to ask how unlucky is it for someone going to a local university to be able to get into a top tier medical school if they are top of their class, say a school like University of Houston or University of Dallas?
Woah, I didn’t expect the field to be so male-dominated (lol I should’ve known). I got to be in the OR during a neurosurgery in undergrad and the surgeon was a female! Which was super awesome! She was so chill and of course super smart!
Mine was female too, she was terrible.
@@raghuvenkatesan6792😂
What really surprised me is that this video didn´t discourage me at all - the opposite. Neurosurgery is still one of my 3 most desirable specialties. It made me want to look more into functional neurosurgery though, because it connects the things I love: medicine and technology and innovation.
Thanks for this video. My heart is caught between choosing neurosurgery or cardio-thoracic surgery. Now, I get to know more about neurosurgery and I think I'm clinging more to it.
I’m going into CT
Can I get your number
@@azzakhalifa2487 I don't think he will put his number in the public....
Dnt knw why but for a second i read your name as cristina yang
Same! Torn between orthopedics, Neuro surgery and plastic surgery but I definitely lean more towards neuro:)
omg i really want to be a neurosurgeon when i grow up n so thank you for this vid!!! looking forward to watching this eeek
Elizabeth Tan I believe in you you can do it !!
❤️❤️Cheers hope u make it
Good Luck!
@@noreceptionn.r9134 Why are people saying goodluck? Is it hard to become one? or ???
@@bryanjuarez2353 yes very hard
Finally!! I thought he ditched it all together
This is the longest video I’ve ever made and most thorough So You Want to Be by a long shot :)
This is the longest video I’ve ever made and most thorough So You Want to Be by a long shot :)
Med School Insiders Quality content tbh. Good job indeed 👏
@@MedSchoolInsiders Can you do an orthopedic surgeon?
@@MedSchoolInsiders do obgyn
Make the next video: “So you want to be an oral maxillofacial surgeon?” I know it’s not the traditional med school route. But many of them attend med school and people aren’t aware of it. It’s a very interesting branch of surgery!
Strider 3, it’s a different path, but it is just as amazing as any other surgical specialties.
Yes!!!
BRANCH OUT TO DENTISTRY!!!
Just thinking about the fact that we went from the works of Hippocrates and Galen to this incredible stuff is fascinating and really shows how far medicine has come and how we have come to understand our bodies.
Ever since Childhood, it's my Dream to be a Doctor. later then while in the high school, i wanted to aspire higher studies and become a Surgeon when i grow up, mostly 'a Cardio-Thoracic Surgeon! but didn't found myself really enjoying the Cardio related studies as much as i did to Neuro based studies in Junior-college haha! Recently a Year ago, I found myself dwell in Neural control & it's Co-ordination, Neuro-Anatomy and all factual studies about Neurology. That's how I found my interest, now its more of a 'Passion' than 'Profession', this year itself i'll be entering Med. Journey! and i'm 100% sure that i'll aspire my further career in the field of Neurosurgery. I will Work Hard to make my Dream into Reality. God is always with me, all Glory to Lord, Amen. In Coming Years, I'll be a NEUROSURGEON and will comeback here.
Did you start med school?
If so, how do you like it?
By the way, good luck!
I'm in my last year of hs and have been passionate about neurosurgery since middle school. watching this video made me realise just how hard it is to become a neurosurgeon and to be fair I'm definitely not the smartest but tbh now I'm just even more determined and motivated to study till I drop dead so i can become a neurosurgeon. this video was very helpful thank you
Yes! I’m currently in middle school and wanna become a neurosurgeon as well! Follow this AWESOME dream!!!
Probably one of your best videos so far... It provides a clear insight and destroyed some stereotypes that, sadly, most people in te medical field have in regards to the specialty. Please keep up making inspiring, detail-rich, clarifying videos like this one!
Well…I can safely say…this is the most thorough, most illustrative video of neurosurgery guide I’ve seen in TH-cam so far!!
It really deserved every single second of the past 4 months of making it. Fantastic Job 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I love that all the information you give about a subject is summarized just on point, beautifully structured and easy to digest. I follow your channel for quite a while and, as a 2nd year med school student, you're gold (in terms of medical information as much as in productivity and mental health matters). I would absolutely love to work with the brain in a few years, but I'm trying to keep my eyes open for anything I might like. Thanks so much man, I appreciate you. Stay safe!
Oh yes! Finally I've been waiting for a video like this one for ages. I want to be a neurosurgeon when I grow up and this will undoubtedly help me. Thank you for another great video Med School Insiders.
this is my favorite episode in the series up till now, extremely informative and well researched, and looking forward to a day in the life of a neurosurgeon
I love this series. As a young med grad fresh out of med school I'm really confused as to which subject I should further pursue and this series is giving me a better insight into the life and work of so many other branches. ❤️❤️
Please make a So You Want to Be a Dermatologist !!
I've been waiting on this one since day one, of "So You Want to Be"!! Im so excited neurosurgery has been the goal for years!
Becoming a neurosurgeon one day so imma stay here for the rest of my life
I have the same future career path bro it seems great minds think alike
Id like to become one but watching a video about performing a surgery makes me almost throw up lol
lp700 That’s the plan graduate HS then go straight to med school
Eldritch Void thats not how it works man. You gotta graduate high school, complete a bachelors degree, then get accepted into med school, then complete a residency, then your a practicing physician. All in all after high school 13-15 years from diploma to practicing
i also have the same plan bro @thanatos is right great minds think alike
Thank you, great video , I always wanted to be a neurosurgeon , now that I am in the middle of my medical school it’s like I was born for this , I loved how you picture neurosurgery in this video , it’s pretty much the reality here in my country Brazil, this makes me more motivated!
I have gotten more information from this video than from my entire life
Thank you to all the neurosurgeons who work day and night to fix us.😊
Thanks for watching!
I’ve literally been waiting for this forever! Thank you!
Please do so you want to be an Oncologist. Thank you.
Daamn, even after knowing the pain of being a neurosurgeon, I still wanna be one!
I’ve wanted to be a neurosurgeon for quite a few years now and all of this really interests me. I have a couple family members who have neurological issues that have required surgery which has really piqued my intrest. I’m a sophomore rn but really hope I can get into this field even as a woman.
please do a “so you want to me be a dermatologist”!!!
Been waiting for the "so you want to be a neurosurgeon " thank you so much Doc, love your videos❤ they're so enlightening. Big up👊
Having been fascinated with surgery and neuroscience since middle school and applying to mediical schools next year coming across this video really got me very excited and solidified my drive to become a neurosurgeon. Like you mentioned it has to be something you really want and i refuse to let anything stand in my way. Greta video!
YES!! Go for it. You can do it.
Can you please do a "So you want to be a Trauma Surgeon"? And thank you for all your videos, they're really helpful!
please do a “so you want to be a dermatologist” video, it would really mean a lot! thank you for all the informative videos ✨
Glad I stayed till the end, love the acknowledgement of the high sphincter tone
Finally i was waiting for this video from the start of "So you want to be" series even though i'm from Europe i definitely want to be nurosurgeon after i finish med school.
in Europe you don t have med school
@@andremelo6608 what😂
Hey Kevin! Pre-dental here yet I am loving the videos! Continue the good work and best of luck to you on whatever endeavors you pursue. If you're asking for suggestions...Cardiothoracic surgeon! I know you have cardio vid but who doesn't want to hear more about another hardcore surgical field. Have a great day Doc!
Neurosurgeons have an amazing ability to operate on hearts, I once talked to one at my local military hospital 🙏 such an amazing experience
Incredible. As always; doctors are the most highly respected members of society
I will become neurosurgeon.
These are amazing at helping future MDs guide there way through this difficult process. Please do Otolaryngology next!!!!!
Hopefully he talks about neurologist as well I was waiting for sooooo long I’m glad that you are making this video
This presentation surely does bring out the intensity of the field. Extremely motivating.
Me: thinking to become a physician like an oncologist or neurologist.
Also me (reality check): being 23 with no university degree, possibly to late, and working at wal-mart.
Not to be cliche’ or anything, but ... ANYTHING is possible with enough effort, Hard-Work, and Continuous Learning ... Also, it is NEVER too late! I wish you the best of luck!
Your never too late to go back to school, and if you have college credits than it will become much more easy.
Yo its never too late
Better late than never!
You better go chase that dream. If only I could sponsor you😭😭
Where is 'So you want to be a *PEDIATRICIAN*?????!!!!😬😬
please!!!
Yes, we really need this
YES. I'd like this!
YESSS!!
yesss!
have been waiting for this for so longgg
Thank you sm for doing this video. It makes undergrad look like a step stone than a boring obstacle to getting to med school:)
I am a top performing student and a topper in everything . People may think am overconfident, but am not. Actually this is my true self . I am gonna be a neurologist and neurosurgeon because of my interest and passion.Its ok for me to take a course of 7 years and I will be very happy although if I cant enjoy my life. The most pleasurable thing for to me after I become a doctor is that ,hearing Dr. Tanisha from everyone.😉😉 Thank you med school insiders for this detailed video.
We have a lot in common but I am afraid of someone discouraging me cause I'm a girl 😢
I’ve been a surgical tech for two years doing mainly neuro cases and I Love Love Love doing brain tumor resections and awake craniotomies with our tumor specialist. I’m not sure if I’m smart enough or dedicated enough to get through med school and a neurosurgical residency (and fellowship!) but I’m going to go back to school for something because I really want to expand my scope of practice and increase my interaction and involvement with patients. I don’t know. We’ll see. Really glad to watch this video it gave me a lot to think about
I also know how to preform a tumor resection!! Although, i am only in highschool, i want to be brain surgeon!!
As I watched this video, I felt joy in my heart and a big smile appeared on my face! I don't know, I feel like neurosurgery is for me! Something sparks inside of me, like it's the right thing to do! 😁
Needed it the most Thanks Man❤️
In 16 years I am going to come back here and say that I a made it, that I finally became a neurosurgeon.
My God you have to be such an outstanding and particular person do to this, my respect and admiration to all neurosurgeons and aspiring neurosurgeons
It's the right place for me
Never imagined my self being something else
I was expecting for this video soooo much! I love your great content.
How can I even become a neurosurgeon when myself alone is not mentally healthy. 😔
It's okay. All of us are going through something which challenges us emotionally or mentally. If you think you are mentally incapable of being a neurosurgeon then you are setting limitations for yourself. Do not degrade yourself. I am sure you can do it, you just need a little bit of encouragement.
@Laiba Chaudhary thank you so much for lighting me up ❤
neurosurgery has nothing to do with mental health, you’re good 👍
Half of the neurosurgeons deal with depression during residency
Wonderful. That what the most detailled video you ever made. Thanks you so much. If possible i'd love to see a video about cardiac surgery. I love your channel
This video made me fall in love with what I want to do in the future again. Thank you ☺.
I wish I could ask you to do a video on Psychology. But I know it's not possible.
Your work (video) is so amazing and explicit. This is NEEDED.
What a beast man, i swear to god i love your channel so much man! Like how do you keep up with being a surgeon, having an intense past, and still maintaining a TH-cam Channel? Can you please try to do Cardiothoracic Surgeon? It doesn’t have to be next, but i just want it to be there in the list
Thats why hes quit everything else and only doing youtube now.
He quit in 2018 I think
i really want to be a neurosurgeon , thank you for this.
This was very informative. Appreciate the quality 👌
Line at 12:12 is what has taken my heart. The zeal to touch the Brain has taken my heart. That's me in one line. Great video!
Nice covered.
I vote for "So you want to be RADIOLOGIST... hm?"
Workaway -kind-of-type of specialties.
About time bruh!! I've been waiting forever
Gastroenterologist, this is one that I would love to learn about because I’ve always considered this as one of my choices for specialty
Very well explained Kevin Sir, Thank you !👍
Please do a “so you want to be a paediatric surgeon” and “a day in the life of a paediatric surgeon” please
This was a real eye opener...Functional neurosurgery sounds amazing though
I want to be a pediatric neurosurgeon and I am so happy you uploaded this video!
Watching the video itself is very tiring..can’t imagine the neurosurgeons but they will love it..hats off to all you guys🔥💯
Awesome video! Please make a “so you want to be an ophthalmologist?” video next - keep up the amazing videos 😊
My ambition is to become a neurosurgeon someday, For all you who wants to become a neurosurgeon one day, I am genuinely rooting for you! ❤
I really hope you stick with it😄 it could take at least 11 years
@@shoryacione5175
i love the fellowship aspect of the video, plz keep doing it
I dont know why, but i hace watched this video multiple time but still get goosebumps 😊❤
i hate how my curiosity gets the best of me...but this time even if it sounds really tiring and harsh i hope that one day i'll become a neurosurgeon :)
I recommend the memoir Brain Matters: Adventures of a Brain Surgeon by Katrina Firlik for an insiders view on the field of neurosurgery.
Thank you for this recommendation ! 😃
Thank you Kevin!
Finallllly .... really many thanks that u made it
I was waiting for very long time ago
I love the brain so much, but I would be so unhappy with the unpredictable and long hours. It breaks my heart though because neurosurgery (particularly emergent and functional) is absolutely fascinating to me
Let's take a minute to appreciate this guy for taking his very precious time to make these videos for us
Thank you! I’m really intrigued to this specialty !
I'm just in a nurse who works in neurosurgery who is watching this to satisfy their curiosity of the field but this is for sure the medical field I have respected the most and feel they do the most for their patients. Where I work has quite a few female residents as well. Probably won't do as much as to actually go for it though 😅. I will keep to nursing I think.
