Yes my husband is a urology surgeon. He is kidney surgeon in particular. I really wonder how can I take care of him and be more understanding. When I feel my needs aren't met, i can be really cranky. And I am scared I am not putting myself enough in his shoes. What he sees during the day, the injuries the cancer patients, and also the inhumane amount they make him work in the country we are in. For example when they force him to work and entire long shift after he had done a 24 hour shift. So he ends working 32 hours straight without any sleep. I wonder if there are certain sacrifices I need to make as a wife of a surgeon.

[@Kreeper_kat]

Not only is your wife beautiful and intelligent, but she is so supportive and understanding. The world is a better place because of both of you.

[@Brainbook]

Very kind words. Thank you

[@gracea3213]

Greetings from the US! Much respect to the both of you. I once asked my mom's neurosurgeon what life was like. He replied with, "you work too much, and you're never home to spend time with the family. But I love what I do." I'm planning to apply for the Physican Associate program next year (in the US) and one of my goals is to work in neurosurgery. Thank you for providing us with these videos.

[@Brainbook]

Yeh it's a shame. I think the hours are even worse in the US. Good luck in becoming a neurosurgery PA. It's a relatively new role here compared to you guys but people seem to enjoy it!

[@malcolmnowlin2860]

I am in love with a neurosurgeon, so this helped me tremendously! I now understand her better. I understand the on call life much better and how I can help and support her! Thank you very much! You have enhanced my life with the things you shared today!

As a female wanting to go into Medicine and have a family I find your's and Sahar's journey so inspiring!

@@MI-gu8lqbad advice

[@thrilla72]

​@@MI-gu8lqLol that is terrible advice, very few women will be happy with that. Initially it might be nice that she is free to chase her career but her respect and admiration for her husband will dwindle. She will become frustrated having him depend on her financially. She will be around men who are more successful than her husband and will compare him negatively to those men. In my life, I've never seen a happy relationship where the woman earns significantly more than the man or works more.

[@janessamarie6310]

so my boyfriend is in college to be a neurosurgeon and i didnt know what our future would look like if we got married. This was super helpful.

I'm so happy I found your video!! Becoming a neurosurgeon is my dream job but I was afraid that with how stressful and demanding the job was I wouldn't be able to have my own family. So I'm so happy that I found this video because it gave me hope. It gave me hope that I wouldn't have to give up starting my own family just because I wanted so desperately to become a neurosurgeon. I want to become a neurosurgeon but I'm afraid that because of how challenging and difficult the work is, I wouldn't be able to spend quality time with my friends and family. So thank you guys so much for giving me hope!!!

The key to being a neurosurgeon with an awesome life is a good wife. Truly inspiring !

[@cojut]

This is such a lovely video. It reminds me of the clip that has been circulating where the guy looks down at his wife's ex partner and goes "arn't you happy that you married a CEO rather than him" and she turns back to him and says "if I had stayed with him he would have been the CEO". Support is so important! And Sahar is such a lovely supporting wife, but the key thing is is that you recognize that she is, listens, complies with her requests (within reason) and that you have a wonderful connection and chemistry. So really the key is that you both work together! You are both such inspiration! It makes me think back at my failed marriage and how we both expected things from each other which the other partner was not happy or willing to give (not talking beforehand about our expectations like you did) . But I am sure I will do better next time! Thank you so much for posting this, I will keep it in mind :)

[@sam.9602]

Shoutout all the way from New York! You have such a strong and beautiful family. I love all of your videos! Both you and your wife amaze me having the careers you do, having 2 children while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Stay amazing, stay happy, stay healthy. Both of you are awesome. 😊

[@pencilboy34]

I wanted to become a doctor when I was younger due to my father being a Pulmonologist, but as I got older I realized this lifestyle is not for me. I couldn't imagine myself being happy and balancing a hectic work/study life and a social life. nor did I have a true passion and desire to even become one. More power to all doctors/surgeons who find true passion for this lifestyle. I went into business instead and now I make very good money and able to enjoy myself and my passions. glad I didn't have a father who pressured me to become a doctor. But I still enjoy learning every aspect of the human body and watching these super heroes go about saving lives every day.

Even i want to be a neurosurgeon. During my rotations, mostly i used to hang up in neurosurgical OT. Nothing gives me sense of happiness other then neurosurgery. Lets hope one day i can be one. Both of your bondings really made me remember my first day at med school. I met my girl but unfortunately after my graduation she left for her country and things changed. However , the best part of her was that she knew I cannot live without being a neurosurgeon and trust me noone has supported me more then her in my life to be a neurosurgeon. Sometimes i hear she still wants me to be neurosurgeon and never leave my path. You both are pain in ass... you made me recall all our memories we spent together for whole 5 years out of 6 years of our med school.. love u both. God bless you

Thanks so much for the introduction with me and for the married life but fefore how this good life happened because of everyone has not the same life but who knows the value of this gifted life, So as per your experience and example in your video three four different types of life like different in ages, nature, intelligent, and in which areas they come from as well as society and many things related with the life we can't judge and imagine for the particular person because of everyone is different from their own nature. today's of this new age everything is possible but how much we connected with the life is most important for the future, even human being is ok we understand it but sometimes animal's can also love and prayers for the human being.but if we can understand their language, attitude, and their nature they're also like to us So relationship is like that too and thanks again for your making the good life.
