The mood and the way he entered walking at the beginning tells me he's a daily hero

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

Thank you for your comment. We are grateful to have Dr. Anderson with our group.

[@therealmma6712]

bro makes at least 500000 a year shit ill be in a good mood too lmao

[@ShinraTensei_TV]

You said everything

[@Angel-51423]

Videos like these motivate me to become a surgeon.

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

It's a great career path. We are grateful for all of our medical providers.

[@smellypatel5272]

I'm a medical student and I would strongly advise against it. What they don't show you in videos like these are the times of incredible stress, the length of this path, the debt, and the toxic culture surrounding medicine. You also won't have a personal life. Try holding onto a marriage or having any sort of relationship with your kids with a job like this. It's virtually impossible. Some surgery programs boast a 100% divorce rate during residency. Medicine as a whole is a long ways from having a culture revamp to make things more amenable for physicians. They genuinely don't care about their well-being and it's all profit driven for shareholders

[@medtuff]

@@smellypatel5272 feel like this is coming off a bit bias, your a med student and are prob next to other students who spread stuff like this but the truth is majority of careers give people a lot of stress and have to work long hours. though you may be right that it's a bit toxic it makes no sense to try to advise him against it without knowing him and his goals at all lol

[@smellypatel5272]

@@medtuff I'm a non traditional student and I worked in a couple of different fields prior to pursuing medicine. None of them came close to the level of toxicity you experience in medicine. I sincerely would not wish my kids or anyone else to pursue it until there are major legal reforms, unionization, and a huge shift in work culture within medicine

I want to be a neurosurgeon and I always love watching these “day in a life” -premed

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

Thank you for watching and hopefully you found it helpful. Good luck in your future.

[@RH-gz7or]

Watch Goobie & Doobie. He speaks the truth.

[@CRANJIsMcbasketbaLL-3]

@@RH-gz7orliterally just watched him last night

[@Giddygooncave]

@@RH-gz7or Goobie's thinking is existential, which doesn't mix well with neurosurgery. He should have done ortho or something "easier" where the routine is mundane and you see the progress in your patients. Replacing ACLs all day isn't hard and you see your patients improve over time in the majority of cases. He's allowed to have his opinions but neurosurgery is not one big scam.

[@eviealaya]

I'm going back to school and I'm going to be a pre-med as well. I want to be a general surgeon. I also really enjoy the "day in the life" videos. Gives a glimpse into what the life is like and what this career can look like!

This was really informative for a prospective neurosurgeon. Thank you! I was also just curious, what was your track in terms of undergrad, med school, residency, and fellowship?

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

Thank you for watching. Please refer the Dr. Andersons bio for more information about his training. www.summitbrainandspine.com/brian-anderson-bio-new

[@Coconinga]

3-4 years UG, 4 years med school, 6 year residency for nsgy, typically fellowship is combined with residency

[@jeffreydecory5095]

I work in healthcare, in a management-level Finance role. Spend a lot of time in the hospitals, and they all function similar to this OR. It’s continually amazing to me how everyone has to come together to make a case like this work. Everyone really has to be on their A-game, from the surgeon to the scrub tech who makes $28/hr. Truly amazing professionals.

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

That's a great perspective and I completely agree. Thank you for sharing.

[@smellypatel5272]

Management level finance role? So you're one of those leeches that profits off of healthcare while doctors and nurses like this work in terrible conditions

In 1954 I was 8. I heard Sister Joan of Arc say tell Mom and Dad what your location is. I went home and told my mom I want to be a neurosurgeon and help people. My mom said you are a girl. You are going to grow up and first get married and then have babies. We are not wasting our good my ney on that. I grew up got married had babies and was a nurse for 25 yrs. Had my BSN. I love medicine. It was my life.

[@pamelachan9460]

[@malikbezhanakbari935]

A quick question: what would you suggest to a patient diagnosed with a “hernia of the brain through the nose?” would you operate them? The patient is 33 years old.

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

Thank you for your question. That sounds like an interesting case. Surgical decisions are dependent on several factors and should be considered unique to each patient. I would recommend consultation with your treating provider.

I have a question i always wanted to become a neurosurgeon but i always felt uneasiness at the though of all the human parts is there anythint to make it better?

[@tmz_sharpy3138]

You would get used to it through training and stuff , though becoming a neurosurgeon is a long and hard career path

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

That's a great question. I find it fascinating to be able to see the human anatomy up close, it really is beautiful. I would recommend getting expose as much as you can through volunteering and shadowing opportunities.

[@ratnoinamaew7822]

Can anyone give us an idea of the actual out of pocket costs for one of these surgeries with insurance and without insurance?

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

That's a great question and is very difficult to generalize as there are many variables that will affect the final out of pocket cost to the patient. Hospital fees, surgeon fees, and anesthesia fees can be different and each insurance plan will have different benefits.

[@paulalegisamon9205]

I love doctors. I appreciate doctors but when you find out that a lot of it is just pain management and a lot of these situations can be prevented with proper education. It just shows that the medical industry is all about the money. It’s mostly about the money.

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

We couldn't agree more that education and prevention should be at the forefront of medicine. We will always try to provide and exhaust all conservative measures before taking someone to surgery.

[@mattszarowicz5049]

What about your sterile processing technician they are the big reason your able to do your job

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

There are so many people working behind the scenes to help us be successful in and out of the operating room. We could not do our job without them. Central processing is one of those, and plays a key role in ensuring a safe and effective procedure for our patients. We appreciate everything they do.

[@JacquelineGriggs-wv3oj]

When your left with cotton wadding fused to your sinus for years and you have re occurring sinus infections a yellow oily melted ear wax substance dripping from your nose when you brain fog is daily life and your ears pop your eyes give you trouble when there's a vice squeezing your temples the back of your head aches and Networking makes this ok and no doctor is allowed to help you when your memory is affected and lies are made up to make this ok

Is it me or did he get plastic surgery on his face + hair and beard transplants?

I am happy to confirm that Dr. Anderson has not had any plastic surgery and the beard and hair are natural.

It is most definitely just you….

[@ruchieru]

What a weird takeaway from this video.

[@ruchieru]

@@summitmedicalinstituteI bet Dr. Anderson had a good laugh at this comment. He should take it as a compliment.

[@louisdelarampe2319]

@@ruchieru To me he looked like he's balding, maybe it's the receding hairline which accentuates the forehead. Also the beard looked too "squared" almost like it was implanted follicule by follicule but it could also be his shaving style. I was wrong, I am not a hair expert. This could sound weird to you and it's okay, you're entitled to your conventional thinking. Bonus weird takeaway: From your comment and your looks, I can tell that you're an asian woman who is attracted to medium fugly white guys.

[@toy3245]

Its always the rude looking, middle heighted woman with glasses who put the surgeon's gloves on

Thank you for the feedback. We are hoping to continue a series of these videos with all of our surgeons in the practice and will try to incorporate more surgery footage. We do have several other videos dedicated to surgical procedures and video content of surgery as well.

[@anarchistonsunsetdrive7813]

Are we not going to talk about the only not qualified to be in the operating room - the "neurosurgery" NP? I was shocked because no other MD or DO's who specialized in other fields cannot get the same access. I said what I said. Patients first.

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

Thank you for watching. Patient safety is always a primary focus. Nurse practitioners and physician assistants commonly act as first assistant in the operating room and increase efficiency and patient safety. We appreciate the great work they do.
