Day in the Life of a Neurosurgeon

[@caromarino8993]

[@summitmedicalinstitute]

[@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

[@ren96706]

@@medtuff I wanted to be a surgeon when i was 18, then a few med students my mom knew from our church talked to me about the medicine pathway. Then i looked at all the classes I needed to take _cough cough, chemistry and physics_ and went nope lol. I became a nurse instead, way more flexible and more opportunities

[@CRANJIsMcbasketbaLL-3]

@@RH-gz7orliterally just watched him last night

[@Jewshiesty6969]

@@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]

[@AlexM-jd2ro]

A neurosurgeon (in a team with an anesthesiogist) screwed me up royally in 2020 when I had an elective foot drop surgery. No bad feeling with the surgeon, but the anesthesiologist overdosed on Propofol and other sleep meds to the point I experienced MINS at the beginning of the surgery, nevertheless they continued with the surgery that lasted 4 hours. It did not help with my foot drop, the surgeon got paid heafty money from the insurance. The anesthesiologist excuse was that I told him, while already sedated on the operating table, that I was taking Percocet in the past. I don't believe he even looked at my medical history prior to the operation. In the middle of the surgery I experienced a short episode of STEMI, and after surgery - elevated troponin. It is a miracle, but they couldn't find any damage to my heart muscle, therefore they denied my lawsuit. That experience scared me so much, I would never go under the knife again, even if my life would depend on it. Please, be careful out there
