No….you want a neurosurgeon to be great at their job. You shouldn’t care how if it’s allowing them to perform exceptionally. If you disagree, just ask yourself if you’drather have a neurosurgeon who is great and doesn’t eat a nutritious breakfast lmao or a half decent neurosurgeon but hey, they ate sausage bananas and eggs for breakfast?
Not everyone has caffeine jitters so it may work. People with adhd get more relaxed with caffeine and any other stimulant. I'm not sure about other conditions but i just wanted to point out it may be helping her a different way than it helps someone else
@@mma.y thank you😁♥️ I was honestly just saying that for comedic purposes....I am a retired nurse......my son has ADHD and it's quite amazing how it affects the brain differently for one person to another.....be well!!
@@conniepfannerstill817 Because she doesn’t eat breakfast?! That could very well be fine for her and her body. The sleep is a bit less than ideal but when she’s also balancing being a doctor and having a family sometimes corners need to be cut. She’s certainly trying her best.
I also only get 6 hours of sleep and have nothing but coffee for breakfast but I’m not cutting into people’s brains. Hopefully she gets naps and good nutrition throughout the day. 😅
This woman takes care of multiple kids, on top of saving patients lives daily. That's incredible. That is an incredible woman. If she treats her patients like she'd treat her own kids, I would trust her
Just because she's a neurosurgeon doesn't mean she's saved lived; technically it just means she hasn't killed anyone yet. It certainly doesn't mean she's a good parent: raising children is about as dissimilar to performing brain surgery as you can get. She said she gets an average of 6.5 hours sleep a night and goes into work after having taken care of plural children's morning routines. That's too tired to go poking around in MY grey matter, thank you very much.
@@topkek4223 that is honestly sad that you can’t take care of your own responsibilities in life that you choose to create or have and I’m talking about your comment towards men choosing to have kids
No ladies and gentlemen, she's not only a neurosurgeon: she's a magician who gets ready and gets her kids ready in 40 mins + look at her watch. She's just a genius
Everyone saying she isn’t well rested.. I feel like most adults have her exact sleep schedule lol. And a lot of health care workers don’t eat breakfast before leaving the house… we do that shit in between patients at our computer lol
i feel like it isn't healthy just bc it's common tho? i black out when driving if i get too little sleep or stay out for too long. think of the car accidents we could avoid if we all got more sleep
If the person who's literally in your brain with a knife doesn't get the recommended amount of sleep and then has only coffee for breakfast Id be terrified.
I’m a surgical neurophys and i also only drink coffee for breakfast 😂 and also a mom and at the OR bright and early every day. Wish more of my surgeons listened to 90s hip hop!
While getting prepped for chiari mal1 decompession/laminectomy in 1996 I asked my Dr at MGH if he had his coffee he said not on days he operates. He is the nicest most skilled doc I've ever met. Shout to Dr. Borges!
I just can't say enough how proud I am of you! A neurosurgeon a woman a mother a wife ! Woman to me are like wonder woman because y'all do it all and that is so impressive! My mom did it alone raising 5 of us kids and I am not kidding I have 2 children and I don't know how she did it with 5 children and being a professional working as a missile tester. Woman just rock!❤🙏❤
I respect her. She knows what her own body needs nutrition -wise and sleep-wise in order to maintain her professional and home life duties. I wish there were more hours in the day to accommodate more rest for people in this profession.
The comments here are so ignorant. As a surgeon, we have to endure 80+ hour work weeks. All of the comments here are clearly from people who are not capable of doing this demanding work. If you did, you wouldn't comment, because you would actually know what it takes. This is a normal schedule for most surgeons. Please be kind and respectful. She may be the one to save your life.
This Dr is Simply Awesome! Actually done surgery on me and it went well 😊 The only complaint I would make is once you have the surgery, Your history and still living in Pain. But nothing else can be done?
wow, my s/o does almost the same thing. I have to make him eat, he loves his coffee. When he gets home from work he eats takes a shower and passes out around 8:30 the gets up around 1am and goes back to sleep. Then he's up for good around 5:30
Yeah unfortunately that's the case for almost everybody. The work culture around surgery and the conditions most hospital doctors work under don't allow them to stay in optimal shape with good sleeping and eating habits.
Actually, it really depends on their habits. I’m a surgical trainee and when I eat sometimes I feel nauseous and worse. I’m USED to not eating, and training ends up making you intermittent fast without trying. So 🫠
Some of these comments don't pass the sniff test. These women are phenomenal 👏 If it was a male surgeon being interviewed, the comments would be praising his dedication and sacrifice. Seriously people!
I go to bed at 9pm and i’m up by 5:45 My wife makes me a smoothie that I drink as I grab a shower and shave at the same time. It takes me 10 minutes to dress in scrubs. By 6:15 I’m in my office at the Hospital. I open my computer and check todays surgery schedule and I make sure I’m going to have my team and my chosen anesthesiologist ready and waiting. I make my rounds in SICU with some of the neurosurgery residents and Neurology attending. Occasionally a procedure will necessitate a nuclear team that will implant radioactive isotopes into areas of the brain that had or have malignancy, when it is time for that team to take over we clear out of the area and take a break until the nuclear people have successfully implanted. Sometime during the day I will meet with family and patients who are about to undergo a neurological procedure due to A tumor,trauma or cancer. We also see patients who have been recently discharged so we can gauge their progress and how they are coming along. In the evening I will meet with every patient and answer any questions or any concerns they may have in reference to their upcoming procedure in the next day. The anesthesiologist will also meet with them as well as their social worker. I am retiring in March so I am starting to spend more and more time planning for life away from my life work. I’ve been a physician for 32 years and I am beginning to realize my limitations.
This woman probably makes so much money. My friends dad in highschool was one of the few accomplished neurosurgeons in our city, and oh boy. It’s like the fresh prince of bell air.
1. 5:10am 2. 24 oz coffee and PB & J sandwich 3. 25 min out the door 4. Whatever makes the scrub tech and circulating nurse happy 5. Depends on call schedule, nap once home and back to sleep by 12-1am or pass out once home for all night
I don’t eat breakfast because my stomach is super sensitive in the morning and I don’t have much of an appetite-I’ll eat closer to 9 or 10, so I’m hoping she has snacks or brunch and isn’t running on pure coffee all the way til lunch!
I love your schedule. I do the same thing, except I’m up at 5. But like you , I work out , coffee or matcha for breakfast and then work. You look amazing and I know you feel amazing, too!!!

That’s a very common schedule, thus should not spark any concern.
@@AstroZombie1 damn. I sure as heck hope I don’t have this schedule forever or that it’s normal for most. I’m tired on my best days.

Exactly 💯
It’s the on call that kills sleep. And spine call can be particularly rough. Surgeon here
I bet that’s more sleep than she had during her Yeeears of residency. She probably feels like she getting too much sleep.
Btw not everyone can sleep 8 or more hours. 10:30 to 5:30 is 7 hours and after residency, that’s probably sufficient for her.
i’ve had two brain surgeries. i thank this doctor for her intelligence and her drive to save lives like how my doctors have saved mine!
Oh...so she's like a regular, normal working human. .....She's awesome. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you Dr for all the years of schooling you endured just to help others. Your sacrifice is much appreciated!❤

I wanted to be a Neurosurgeon but I had nine siblings depending on me. I had to work to provide for them. God is great.
Her lipstick is killing me !! It reminds me of my mean teacher back in middle school 🥲
Hell yeah I want Tribe Called Quest and Pharcyde BUMPING when I get my spinal fusion.

imagine a middle age white lady bumpin biggie while fixing yo brain 😂
Doctor, take care of yourself ❤. Your family needs you as well as your patients.
The whole operating room bumpin to snoop while saving your life
No way a neurosurgeon sleeps at 10.30 pm.

I would prefer my neurosurgeon has more than just coffee for breakfast that's terrifying especially for something like nerve surgeries
Yeah unfortunately that's the case for almost everybody. The work culture around surgery and the conditions most hospital doctors work under don't allow them to stay in optimal shape with good sleeping and eating habits.
She may intermittently fast…which is why the breakfast skip..which is fine.

Yep, help us out and fix the system bro
You would prefer shit . Do you have proof that she is doing a bad job . If no shut up
The glasses 🤓! Love them!
Love your glasses👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
She earned whatever she needs. Being a neurosurgeon is one of the longest in years to specialize in medicine and the highest paid.
I can't stop admiring her glasses..so cute
I think the opposite
The fact that a person who works on brains doesn't get enough rest for her own brain
Super cute!!
Awesome work!
