    If a person wants money they'll go into finance NOT medical school. It's way too long and brutal to simply do for money. 4 years of college+ 4 years of med school+ 7 years of residency+ 2 years of fellowship= 17 YEARS of training. There are faster ways to make money so DO NOT go into medicine if your goal is to "make money." You have to LOVE the field of medicine and helping people or else you'll be angry and bitter. - This is coming from a medical student 7 years in.

    Big respect to this guy. I am insanely envious of anyone who always knew what they wanted to do right from the get go...
    Not the first surgeon i have seen take a hard nope out of pediatrics....for good reason, you have to spend so long dealing with facebook physicians it makes you doubt your reality...and u have to do it with a smile, all whilst suddenly realising the kids were never scared of the drs but scared of their reactive and utterly irrational parents being out in public.

    its mind blowing how similar I am with him and how much different we are at the same time and that is in how we both wanted to become a neurosurgeon but I wasn't strong enough to push furrowed when life got in the way.
    For some time now I was petty about it and maybe still.. but for some reason this video was really comforting!
    I study optometry now in an OD program and I hope I find passion in it as much as I have in neurosurgery since med school is long gone now.
    Great video thanks!

    There's not a lot neurosurgeons, cardiothoracic surgeon, and other specialists out there. It takes a lot work, time, and effort to get to where you want to be Then there's the constant education because as a doctor the education is never ending. There's always a new discovery, medicine, etc out there you have to keep yourself updated with.

    Neurosurgery is very romanticized. I'll be a resident next year and wanted to do neurosurgery since I started med school. 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 said that 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. So I guess it's a nope for me, even though the brain is super fascinating.

    • @Q-Bits8

      @@tayz7850 To educate. People are delusional about this. I just want people to think twice. Neurosurgeons don't save as many lives (brain tumors in adults are mostly uncurable and the surgery just gives them half a year or a year more. And spinal surgery is mostly not life-threatening) as other specialties like trauma-surgery, interventional neuroradiology or cardiology. Man even internal medicine.
