Day In the Life of A Neurosurgeon - Mark McLaughlin, MD, FACS, FAANS : Episode 1

[@glenntankard2534]

I had a massive staphylococcus infection in my neck which went undiagnosed for 7 days. I was paralysed down my right hand side and couldn’t urinate. I was dying. Then a wonderful neurosurgeon operated on me at 11pm on a Sunday night and cleaned out most of the pus. 6 weeks on IV antibiotics and rehab and I learnt to walk again. I can’t describe how much of a blessing this was. Marvellous people!

[@Retiredtraveler1961]

You surgeons work your tail off to get where you are in life! I'm an RN (retired) & have seen first hand the hard hard work & long hours to get to your level, well done!

[@markmclaughlin6331]

Thank you. My grandfather was a doctor. I wanted to be a doctor from a very young age.

[@smarszalek11]

This really hits home. My 3-year-old had a brain tumor removed. I have so much respect for all surgeons but Neuro especially (for a good reason). I don't even know how to thank the surgeon that performed the procedure on my daughter. No more seizures or vomiting just a normal kid. Sooo much respect for your dedication!! Thank you!!!

[@olas16k]

I hope and pray your child recovered quickly and never ever has any more tumors again

Imagine burning consistent pain from your shoulder all the way down to the tips of your fingers all the time for over a year. Then you meet one of these Docs and the next time you see him he has just done a double disk replacement and the pain is just gone. Nothing replaced it, no goofy feelings, it’s just normal again. You guys rock, I’m 5 weeks post op and haven’t felt this good in years.🎉

Thank you Dr. McLaughlin for you years of study, your choice of study and your discipline in practice of your craft. My neurosurgeon played rock music during my surgery in 2004 (so I was told). He’s my hero and I am so grateful for his expertise as I am sure that is the way your patients feel about you.

My fiancé just had spinal surgery due to a blood clot that ruptured against her spine. A neurosurgeon performed the procedure and now she is slowly getting back to normal. Thank you for everything you do.

[@suseq949]

I’m in awe of how incredibly intelligent, tough and resilient one must be to become a neurosurgeon. My brilliant cousin opted out because of the stress and became a neurologist instead. I can only imagine the strength of the docs who specialize in neurosurgery. Amazing humans.

Thank you. I had a frontal lobe craniotomy in attempt to remove a meningioma. I appreciate you and your colleagues. I would not be here today without you.

[@1988sawa]

Dear Mark, how wonderful. I look forward to your future chapters here. I think a lot has changed and developed since my surgery by you, but your passion and dedication and desire to be always your best- what ever ways you study and prepare- are unfaltering. ( And I know both your parents would be so proud of your continuing ventures). I read a LOT, about my problems and chronic pain...probably much, much more than most lay people...and I study a lot, but what has always been a constant, is that what ever my problems now, I HAD to have- NEEDED to have- YOUR surgery. And thank God you were trustworthy. I appreciate you, and, regardless of all your clinical knowledge and techniques, you have a GIFT of patient caring and patient respect...I suppose some would call it "bedside manner"...but when you LISTEN to a patient, and look into a patient's EYES, I hope you never lose that special part of you. Best wishes... 💕

I believe it takes somewhere around a decade of training after medical school before neurosurgeons actually do the work without supervision. To hear that prayer is part of his regular pre op routine shows what a marvelous practitioner he is ❤️

[@oscara1471]

'Day in the life' = stands washing hands for 5 minutes. I was excited to see your actual day to day routine

[@CookieSlinger]

You wanted him to wake up, place a camera a few feet away, then go back to bed and record him waking up and walking to the bathroom, then seeing him brush his teeth, get ready and have breakfast? He's a neurosurgeon who has scheduled surgeries to do and doesn't have time for that, not a new generation kid youtubing his life.

Wow! I am so happy to find this channel. I have two shunts, one was done 15 years after the original. 30 years and 2 kids later, I am as normal as anybody. I am very blessed. My surgeon did not have good bedside manners when it came to adults, but he loved his kiddos. He obviously was pediatric. I work in the medical transportation field now so I pass his office within the hospital often. Hopefully one day, I can stop by and say a quick Thank You.

[@Weekend658]

People that work with me in medical devices tell me I’m a brilliant CEO. The mind of a Neurosurgeon and the technical abilities they have, is Shakespeare compared to my talent. Most go dual residency as well on top of the 12 years. Insane amount of education and it never stops. Truly a craft.

Great video. Also, I like that, around the 4 min to 4 min 22 seconds, you talk about positivity, gratitude, prayer. I'd trust you as my doctor. Checklist are also huge in medicine, very important to minimize error. Seems like you are very passionate about what you do, and thats great to know. Unfortunately, some in healthcare are not and don't put the patient first.

I’m glad he takes the time to prepare, focus, and pray. I don’t care that he washed his hands and talked to the camera. He’s supposed to start there! He didn’t take a shortcut just because we were watching. I just had a neurosurgeon fix my neck on the 20th. I pray he was this diligent. I have faith that he was. This dr can’t show all the patients or else he’d never leave. People these days are too impatient. And guess what’s next….part 2 of this day in the life.

In 1962 my Mom had a brain tumor that was benign but pressed on the optic nerve. Her neurosurgeon spent seventeen hours removing it. At the same time she had tumors on her spine that were malignant so she had radiation and chemo for that. He cured her. Her primary care Dr. Had thought her headaches were just migraines and stress related. They weren't. Do not accept headaches and dismiss them. Something is causing the pain. Treat the cause not the symptoms.
