As someone who has just been accepted into medical school and read Henry Marsh’s ‘do no harm’ book, I currently have little desire to pursue neurosurgery due to its intense lifestyle demands. At the same time I have massive respect and admiration for the skill, precision and drive required to be a neurosurgeon. I’m loving these videos.

No offense, but you probably do not know if neurosurgery is right unless you've shadowed one, and even then you would not actually get a sense of what being a neurosurgeon is like. It's extremely demanding and it's usually not the scores that weed people out, its the consistent 7+ years of minimum wage and sleep deprivation AFTER becoming an MD. So 15 years after high school. Once you go to med school, start to take more interest in it as an elective rotation and you'll get a better sense, since the physician will be more open with you and you'll actually understand what's going on.

I really enjoyed your reactions Doctor. I am not in medicine, however last fall I had my second spine surgery. I was interested in this video and your responses. I do have a couple of comments about his stereotypes. My neurosurgeon is noted as being one of the top notch neurosurgeons in our area. Nothing crude about his surgeries! Another doctor asked a friend, who is also a former patient of his, who did her previous decompression surgery. That doctor had never seen such clean nerve passages in the spine. A couple of stories about my experience. My first surgery was an ACDF on C5 to C7. I had very good outcomes, immediate reduction in pain and immediate return of strength in my left hand and arm. I found it funny about a year later, I had to have emergency Gall Bladder surgery. The general surgeon is duly telling me of all the risks and dangers of this surgery. I was just nodding and acknowledging his comments when he stopped and asked if I understood what he was saying. I pointed out that the previuos year I allowed a doctor to take a scalpel to my spine...the potential list of things that could go wrong with his surgery was much less scary. My second spine surgery was a Lumbar Laminectomy on L4 for some severe nerve pain down one leg last summer. I had a disc herniation that went to both sides of my spine (greater on my left) and up the spinal canal. My surgery took much longer than my neurosurgeon expected as the disc material in the spinal canal came out in pieces. He ended up making an incision from L5 to L2 to feel under the vertebrae to make sure he had all the disc material was out. To say this surgery was life changing is an understatement! He and his surgical team gave me my life back. Again, wonderful outcomes. I was also impressed at my last appointment with him. The clinic was upgrading their EMR system. I needed PT to relearn how to walk standing up straight, he took a long time to come back with those orders. He apologized for the delay, it took him a while to figure out how to order PT on the new systems. I thought that it was wonderful that he was intent on learning how to do it himself rather than just asking his nurse or PA to do it. He is the furthest thing from a jock type, in fact not a single neurosurgeon in that clinic is a jock type. I hope to not have to see him again, however he is a wonderful man and doctor! I greatly appreciate the miracle of neurosurgery.

At 24:00 " i can tell you that at the end, it is completely worth it" really motivates me as an aspiring neurosurgeon. Also the part at 26:00 where you went into the field not despite the less than favorable outcomes but because of them also really helps refocus my aim by reminding me that at the end of the day we truly are striving to save or positively impact lives. Thank you Dr. Rutkowski!

It seems so obvious yet hit me hard just now it's true in that position, you are someone's last ray of hope in their darkest hour and it helps keeps the tone optimistic. I genuinely adore that positive perspective on things Also 25:18 Made me laugh hard out loud , Thanks for adding a dose of reality to that Med School Insiders video, as usually learned quite a bit .Take Care Dr. Rutkowski

Neurosurgery is very romanticized. I'll be a resident next year and wanted to do neurosurgery since I started med school, so I worked my ass off and got perfect grades. But my practical year (I did 4 months in neurosurgery) opened my eyes. I really don't want to ruin my life for my job. I've talked to many neurosurgeons and the majority told me 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. And to be honest, the surgeries aren't nearly as interesting as I thought them to be anyways. Most of the time you're just more or less sucking out brain tissue with a "small vacuum cleaner", it's oftentimes not even precise or interesting work (maybe except vascular surgery). So I guess it's a nope for me, even though the brain is super fascinating. I'll start my residency in interventional Neuroradiology instead.

Neurosurgery at first glance may seem complex, detailed and nuanced, but I have heard more than one resident characterize neurosurgery and surprisingly crude. Watch videos of brain surgeries on youtube. Nearly all of them are the same thing- cutting open a Circular section of the skull, getting to the brain, and using the computer mapped path to the tumor and cutting it out. Maybe that'd be cool but doing it over and over and over for decades wouldn't be fun. On top of that all of the hours spent documenting and doing administrative work. 8 hour days don't exist and yeah you might have a 400k a year salary but the best you'll do is a few vacations a year a nice car, and nice house. None of the things that really matter. Besides helping people of course. In contrast, watching videos of open heart surgery where the cardiovascular surgeons must spend hours and hours stitching together arteries and carefully making incisions into the valves and arteries. Grafting veins and arteries into the complex plumbing of the heart is delicate and complex but seems super grueling in a different sense compared to repetitive brain tumor removals.

I think work-life balance is an important consideration, depending on the student. Of course I want to do the best for my patients, but I do have other priorities in my life that are also important to me. A surgeon with a highly specialized or unique skill set must always be there for their patients because nobody else can take their place, whereas (for example) an emergency medicine doc can essentially leave their work at work knowing another doctor will be available to take care of patients. Some specialties are more or less conducive to a good work-life balance, and that can be an important consideration to someone who doesn't absolutely fall in love with one field or another. And even if I were to fall in love with neurosurgery, I couldn't see myself applying because I have other responsibilities that would make even getting through residency very difficult. Thank you Dr. Rutkowski for this video! I enjoyed watching and learned a lot.

4:46 - yes I think functional neurosurgery is so cool! I wonder what aspect of the field is more innovative now - functional MRIs uncovering circuitry or the robotic interface? 11:46 -this "scope creep" is what Dr. Jubbal talks a lot about relative to professions like PAs, NPs, and CRNAs. Since neurosurgical procedures like open aneurysm clippings aren't so commonplace anymore, what do you see happening with this surgical subspecialty as more access to this field opens up? Would it be similar to your discussion of the dynamic between neurosurgical spine surgeons vs. orthopedic ones? Also, since neurosurgeons generally are paid more, it may become more cost-effective for hospitals to employ interventional neuroradiologists if the procedures are similar.

2:00 He meant the P.N.S part... now try it, and you'll get it, lol! I'm silly.. I know, but I had to comment on that.. Edit: Just finished the video, this was a very informative and honest perspective.... In regards to some issues, I think these are even better than a neurosurgeon covering these topics from his own point of view and experience alone, because you get the chance to bust some myths that you might not consider being an insider who already learned about them early on... and some of these are really off-putting to aspiring med students and even graduates thinking about this choice of residency! 26:04 I find your perspective on the matter of responsibility as a doctor as really great and sets an example! Not a lot of doctors weigh in when it comes to this aspect, or even give it a thought! A lot of them tend to make it look like a field where the "job market" details and offerings are "only" what matters... they do matter, but also, being a doctor, you should have in mind that the motor of the motivation / drive you should operate with is to actively, at heart, have "the purpose" of improving the health of all and overall! It might sound like preaching, but medicine loses purpose when all the deciding factors are reduced to : what can I get, how to only get that and what's the easiest option. You shouldn't only look forward to treating easy patients because in every single specialty that's not always the case, and it shouldn't be.. because those with end-stage disease and poor outcome conditions also need someone who cares! If not, and it's ONLY about how to do medicine only when it's easy and fairly manageable.. then it becomes more of exploiting... speedrunning, in my opinion, and that's definitely not how the healthcare system and practice advances! It's like maximizing the - already established and easy to get - benefits but not looking forward to minimize the - poorly addressed / explored or dealt with - harms... medicine is both.

Hello Professor, great video as always. I have one question : before starting neurosurgery residency which fields of medicine you suggest to revive (basics and clincal) for sure? Of course anatomy, neurology - but any others comes to your mind?

What is usually the first sign/symptom someone experiences with an uncal herniation?
@martinrutkowskimd3709
@martinrutkowskimd3709 2 жыл бұрын
These patients are extremely sick, and uncal herniation is the end result of a very serious increase in pressure inside the head. Someone with uncal herniation is always severely obtunded.

Doctor ! I am so grateful of this yt channel! It'd be amazing if you opened up an Instagram account, a lot of us would love to see you and chat with you more frequently! I aspire to become a neurosurgeon in the future; I'm an IMG from Mexico I will be starting a position as a Neurosurgery research fellow at the methodist next month. This kind of videos really help students like me to keep going. God Bless you doctor !

Great video! How old were you when you finally finished you residency? I am a neuroscience PhD student (doing research in TBI and neurological degeneration) and though I still have many years left in my program, have been wondering if I should consider going to med school, and try to land a neurosurgery residency. I will be about 29 when I finish my PhD which would put me in my early 40s by the time I actually finish residency… Curious to hear your thoughts.

i agree so much with what you say here @29:25. its actually very potentially dangerous of what the guy in the video is saying about neurosurgeons stereotypes.... his channel has over 1 million followers... these stereotypes things can actually make people think wrongly about neurosurgeons.
