A Day in the Life of a Neurosurgery Resident 

same with all fields in India

@@flaminmongrel6955prolly not lol

Bucha

I know some husbands that don't go home for several days either. Only it's for different reasons. LOL

You can see from bags under his eyes that he doesn't have much free time...

BRUHHHHH, LITERALLY. IN MY HEAD I WAS LIKE THIS DUDE SEEMS SO FRIENDLY, LIKE FOR REAL, HE DOESNT GIVE OFF EGO VIBES

We want more of this guy!!

​@@weeeeeoow He's just a resident doing small cases, you get the big ego inflation once you're the attending neurosurgeon

That’s the thing, you’ll never see him outside the hospital because they never leave.

Usually, they look fit but older than their years around the eyes...

neilpatel you are a legend

IMO it's a stress reliever too.

That’s what probably takes the edge off

I think Id collapse. Mad respect

Thats bc he actually chose what he wanted to do for work forever and you probably dont actually like your job 😂 thats the difference find your purpose and youll finish the day w more energy each time 💪🏽

I mean...... He wasted like 20-25 years of his life in school with hundreds of thousands in debt. So I'd have that to lmao.

@@realtespa8956 Wasted…right. Ask the stroke patient if those years were wasted

didnt waste it but sure he spent that many years of his life studying@@realtespa8956

@@realtespa8956 ''wasted' ? dude lmao you need to go back to school to learn difference b/w wasted and learned

Wasted?! if he saves your mom then you also say that?​@@realtespa8956

@@user-mo2sg8mf5k There's not much sunshine in Rochester during the winters.

A good point that "pain management" practices for long periods of time when better therapy is available is inappropriate.

That's great. You are a major reason that he is the man he is.

Yup. But awakening sick pts. at ungodly hours, often without really good reasons, is not conducive to healing.

That's not a reflection of Strong Memorial in general. It's a beautiful place.

They are perfect

Prestige or to make sure salaries stay high? That is the reason medical slots are limited and capped. To make sure demand is always more than supply.

@@YG-kk4ey You don't think it might have something to do with clinical placement and residency logistics? No? All medical schools (globally) conspiring to fix the prices of healthcare (even in countries with "free" healthcare!)?

@@rypere1788 Absolutely not. The government can fund this in a heartbeat. They can open up many slots for hospitals with funding. This isn't a conspiracy that I'm saying. This is voted for by the American Medical Association. Just Google it. Common knowledge (or anyone with an economic degree). As for other countries? Yes many have free medical school entry. This isn't a global issue. They have other problems such as low salaries.

@@rypere1788 I should say they collectively lobbied Congress.

@@YG-kk4ey They could take a million additional students on this year, that doesn't create additional residency spots. They tried this in the UK - the result was a massive bottleneck, ergo nobody can complete their training in a reasonable timeframe and their junior (resident/new graduate) doctors simply leave the country, dumping their enormous student debt in the process. The doctor shortage is global phenomenon, not because of some bizarre conspiracy among medics, but simply because it takes at least a decade to train one, with some specialties taking 15 years. There are simply not enough people in the general population who can perform neurosurgery.

Work hard and make it happen.

“So I’m here getting ready for -“ 🎶DOO DOO DA DOO DAA 🎶

superior motor functions? lol

yea man its crazy how little residents make..it rlly is a struggle

⁠@@impresssed1213 I am studying in Russia and I hope to enter urology residency in 2 years. So, in our country residents have not a salary, but the residents themselves pay for their training. And the work schedule is similar to the one in the video.

But they don't have time to enjoy it. Their greatest pleasure in life is found in the work.

It’s easier than you think - the key is to get out at midday for a bit

In Rochester they call it "graylight" and some use light boxes to ward off depression.

I muted the music and turned on the captioining.

@@413smr thanks, that's a good idea. Will try it!

They all do. The work is very stimulating.

Use google, not the ppl in youtube comments

It’s surgical residency, it definitely is. I’m a junior in undergrad now and got to shadow a surgical resident for a full day. I was so tired after just one day that I went home and went straight to bed at 7:30pm

It is definitely the norm

Wait until you find out about 24 hour shifts

Its not the norm, 24hr shifts usually are. Residency got its name because physicians during this phase in their training resided in the hospital, lol.

@@imthrillz5255 Ok. Lets stay grounded in reality. 24 hour shift are not the norm in any residency. Every now and then, sure. I read that residency averages out to 40-80 hours a week.

I don’t think so😂 and it’s pretty much the same for all other residencies, medic or vet……

This is what he WANTS to do...what he LIVES for!

lol take the mcat first

Residents typically make between 50k to 95k depending on what year they're in. He's probably making like $90,000 a year

@@dannybarna4444 I thought they would make at least a half million. Some RU-vidrs get paid more than these doctors.

in a few years once he completes residency he'll make 500 - 700k a year and if he stays at the hospital and gets promotions wtv could make 1m or more a year@@r.s2636

​@@r.s2636hes prob only making 90k now because he is still in training, but he will make more like 900k as an attending. Neurosurgery is the highest paid specialty

@@r.s2636yeah but this is resident salary. They’re extremely underpaid, but once he’s an attending he’ll easily be pulling in $600K+

Sounds like you got a touch of the Munchausen's lol. Maybe go see a psych.

No you dont want that!

If it is your passion, don’t let anyone tell you no. People that don’t have a passion will never understand.
