    Neonatology seems like it could be really rewarding but also very saddening

    • @thenicudoc
      @thenicudoc 3 роки тому +28

      Actually, 95% of what happens in the NICU is wonderful and happy news. Imagine you get a sick baby and with your skills and knowledge, you get them better and send them home with the families. You are right, it is an ICU, so sometimes you get some really sick babies that don't make it, but those are fairly rare.

      Good question. No, Neonatalogist do not perform surgeries. Pediatric surgeons do. And most people do a pediatric residency before Neonatology fellowship

      Not sure what you mean by “great!” Pretty much all Medical schools will give you good training and teach you what you need to become a doctor. I would choose medical schools based off of cost, feeling like you fit in, and support that you receive/can receive!
