Day in the Life: Neurologist

Perry Smith, MD, is medical director for the stroke program at Adventist HealthCare Shady Grove Medical Center in Rockville, Maryland. He’s led the hospital to national recognition for its fast, high-quality stroke care, including certification from The Joint Commission for mechanical thrombectomy, a breakthrough minimally invasive surgical treatment for stroke.

It's so sweet, when at the very end, as he's recalling his case, he's like "it's one I think about a lot." It really shows how much these professionals care about their patients.

[@Lucas-iv6ld]

That guy has genuine passion on what he does

[@tashreeqa_ek]

I'm in the middle of my undergrad and currently thinking of doing neurology for postgrad. Love that it showed me a glimpse of what my future might be (hopefully🥺🤞🏼)

[@papilonglegs]

Sameeeeee I’m studying the cerebellum right now

[@scarsound]

Same! I’m currently taking post-baccalaureate courses as I got my degree in a non-science field and neuroscience is, hands down, my best and most favourite unit
Good luck to you!!

[@aaaaaa-hh8cq]

Everyone wants to be a neurologist but not everyone will sacrifice the time to be on.
It's one of the hardest specialties because the study years are longer AND the working time is higher.

[@rozaa2793]

As a person who never had good experience with doctors or hospitals, those videos restore my faith in doctors and prove that there are still people who care and know what they are doing.

[@maryjulietxo]

[@joinmdhealth]

Wow ten years already?! Great video! 😃

❤my wish is to do this... but med school is becoming tough everyday in 5th year always feels like giving up... I need more hugs😢😢 just any advice on how to manage my time will be of help

[@BibliaRelevanta]

Hey there 🤗🤗 I have been through really tough times in medical school too. Take a break as many times as you need! I know it is a lot to study, but even small breaks are better than none and go tonthe window or out for a walk...do not just use your break to scroll on the phone. Give your mind and body a true relaxation. So, cherish the importance of having a pause and not studying non stop. Also, think about how you need to be fully present in the moment and find little things to enjoy in this experience, even if it is hard, because this hard time will go away, but you will remain with yourself and you need to be healthy, balanced. Prioritise your health! Nothing deserves your health. If it is TOO MUCH, better take a longer break than sacrifice your health. More hugs. You will make it through with God's help 🤗

Wish i could work with you

[@bluehundred5757]

My eye doctor recommended I see a neurologist! Anyone can give me more info!

[@user-cn4tc5tq2s]

That's what he's supposed to find out - and convey to YOU.

[@arsenixx.1174]

well man it all depends. if they told you to see a neurologist it only means that your problem isnt associated with the lens or optic nerve of your eye, its about how its connected to your brain, which pretty much means that the problemis that something in the back of your brain, or maybe your optic chiasm or other parts have an issue which is impacting your vision

[@germanshepherdmom1143]

Does a neurologist treat insomnia ?

[@goldenrose5750]

yes also a psychiatrist can as well

[@yehhshhs]

LOL ''WITH A STROKE YOU ARE LOSING 200 MILLION BRAINCELL EVERY MINUTE '' WOW

[@k-edition.10]

I have a dream of becoming a neurologist can anyone tell me what do I need to study for it?

[@jacksongiddens]

Go to medical school and then train as a neurologist

[@pandaninja6459]

​@@jacksongiddens I didn't have biology chemistry and physics class in 11th and 12th grade. But I'm studying things by myself now. Can I still become a neurologist..?

[@jacksongiddens]

@@pandaninja6459 depends what country you are in. You may be able to do a course that covers those subjects in order to get in to med school. Some countries do not require science subjects to get in. Good luck!

[@stylishmitochondria2556]

​@@pandaninja6459no you can't, you have to get into school and complete class 11 and 12 again with those subs

[@Greatness-yw7id]

Do an Undergraduate degree in Science 🧪(EG, Biology, Biochemistry, Psychology, Neuroscience) and then apply to medical school & if you're rejected then do a masters degree & reapply
