Some doctors work 90-100 hours a week, but neurosurgeons work 300+ hours a week. Thanks for saving lives everyday!

You know, doctors are humans too. People tend to forget that. They can only work with the latest science. We/them are still mapping the human brain and all that is attached to it. Lots of unknowns in the world of surgery. Thank you for being a doctor let alone a neurosurgeon.

Honestly 15 years fly by in the blink of an eye. Even faster when you’re doing something you’re passionate about. To anyone out there with dreams of pursuing a career in medicine, don’t let time be your deterrent; years will go by wether you’re still in school or working retail.

And she has given me a small glimpse at what the residents deal with … no sleep … studies etc etc … it has given me the greatest admiration for all those who give so much to help mankind !

I could do all that training and schooling and pass but I still wouldn't feel confident enough to go into somebody's brain and mess around. I got to hand it to any sort of doctor of any kind out there y'all are amazing and fantastic and you work so hard to Keep Us Alive and healthy. It must be so rewarding completing every surgery you do knowing that you have saved someone's life or bettered someone's life. I feel like doctors of any kind don't get enough praise as well as dentist and eye doctors and plastic surgeons even.

Confidence to cut is a huge part of it. In my third year of medical school, there were people who were already scrubbed in to surgeries and assisting with really intense procedures (brain, heart, vascular, orthopedic). You either want it or you don’t.
