Married to a neurosurgeon 

Are you married to a doctor or a surgeon? What's life like for you?

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.

Your wife is such a wonderful woman.. you both are wonderful! I cannot imagine how stressful sometimes being a neurosurgeon can be.. so much respect for you and your wife for doing what you guys are doing!☺️

She's sooo beautiful

Imagine where both their lives would be at if the lovely wife didn’t step out of her comfort zone and show small act of kindness by reaching out to a stressful guy. This was amazingly sweet and it just goes to show that a simple act of kindness can go along way

Your husband is a hero in my eyes, it wasn't him who fixed me but someone just like him I had a ruptured aneurysm back in March this year I'm now fully recovered thanks to people like your husband it was a neuro surgeon in northern ireland that helped me but it could have been any neuro surgeon you truly are blessed to have him

Your wife is drop dead gorgeous and I love how you talk to each other. Keep investing in your family especially your marriage.

What a lovely talented family. You guys deserve a lot of respect juggling all the things life brings you but also handling challenging careers that save lives

Wives like this are so rare. Blessed man.

Your wife is very supportive and loving...hope one day every men will get such a supportive women in his life ...

Dang, a double doctor family. Props for making it work 💪

You guys gave me hope! I want to study medicine, paediatric neurology to be specific and I always think about how am I going to have a family. You guys are so inspirational 🙌🏻

As a female wanting to go into Medicine and have a family I find your's and Sahar's journey so inspiring! Thank you for sharing a part of your life on the internet ~ this is one of my favourite videos ever!! Please do more videos together sometime. I would love to know more about Sahar's journey to becoming a GP and having children :)

I enjoyed this video. The love and understanding you have for each other is beautiful. I wish you guys the best of luck in everything you guys do !

Much respect for the both of you, thank you for all that you do in the healthcare world! This was a super interesting video

greetings from Venezuela, love all your videos, im finishing medical school to then become a neurosurgeon ! you have a very beautiful family ! keep posting NS videos please !

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.

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!!!

Hi both, just a note to wish you both well. People forget the pressures on medical professionals and it's lovely to see you both so happy. Take care and all the best.

I saw a thumbnail for one of your videos a few days ago and subscribed just because it looked like something I would want to watch later...I'm so glad I did! Beautiful couple & family. Long life to you all!

Great support system coming from the both of you. It's nice to have someone to look up to here.

not only do you save lives but you save me from my boredom .. also your wife is one of the most beautiful people i've ever seen ! congratulations sir !

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!

Just stumbled across your channel and as a 2nd year George's medic, you both are an inspiration.

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. 😊

Just found your channel yesterday and absolutely loving your content. May god continue to bless your family🙏❤. You have a beautiful wife with beautiful children ❤💓

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 :)

Thank you so much to the RU-vid algorithm for recommending the video to me! Love ❤️ it

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. Thank you guys so much for making this video and having this channel talk about my questions and fears with being with him. Love you guys and good luck with future challenges.

I'm sorry for asking u such a difficult question 😂😂 Thanks for answering Your wife has such a charming personality God bless you both !!!

My partner is a medical student who wants to become a neurosurgeon and we are in a big distance relationship for 2 years now .It is very challanging and it will always be ,i can also get an idea from videos like this even every relationship is different . Its hard but as long as you love and respect each other there's no reason to give up . I am very proud of him .

Wow! Both doing what you love and supporting one another! That's marriage at it's best! ❤️ Continued sucess to you both.

Very insightful video specially for a prospective medical student like myself, who's recently started feeling excited about Neurosurgery after reading Do No Harm😂. It's beautiful how you two have been so steadfast and patient throughout your marriages. Wish you two the best and also looking forward to a video where you finally announce you're a Consultant!! 😊👍👍

You two are amazing. Two children are hard, we found four was "where did the 90s go?" I hope you are all keeping safe. Alex needs to be a neurosurgeon as he understands how the brain works. There is no doubt about that.

She's great man. Creating a space where your spouse is free to develop it self and be happy, that's real love. I hope you learn to love hear in her love language and show it with actions everyday. Good luck to both!

Beautiful family and candid conversation.

Sahar is an Iranian name. Iranian women are lovely. Wish you all the best in life dear Dr. Alex.

I got this video in my recommendation, which is really nice , I’m a medical student. So I’m gonna subscribe to the channel . And you guys are so adorable together

I love your bonding . May it grow stronger ! Even I want to be a neurosurgeon in India

You are a gorgeous couple!! Thanks a lot for the insight! Waiting for the video about how you were unsure if you wanted to do medicine, and how you made the decision. Keep creating these awesome videos!

One good thing about you is you reply the viewers ✌🏻🙌❤️💝😍

I just recently got interested in your channel! I think it’s very interesting and amazing even thou I’m not a doctor but a psychologist. Congrats!!! Hi from Colombia.

Thank you for posting this awesome video!!! I love that you both explained how to cope with patient deaths and being supportive of each other career goals!!! It would be awesome if in a future video Dr. Sahar showed a day in the life of an GP in London and a mother! Great content :)

You guys are so so lovely :) Thank you for saving lives x

You guys are amazing! Im also obsessed with medicine, i am on my way to interventional cardiology. Btw, alex you’re wife is gorgeous. Beautiful family 🙏🏻

Aww you guys are so cuttee mashallah!!! Couple and Dr goals right here!! 😍❤️

What a lovely couple. Thank you for all you do :)

God bless you both and kids will all the happiness and success; lovely channel; keep up the inspiration 🌸

Heads off to you sir for working hard all day long for the people tremendous respect and appreciation to you ❤️

I like the bright and confident appearance of the doctor. As if patients undergoing surgery would comfortably relieve their fear of surgery😊. And you and your wife is so beautiful. 👍🤩

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

You both are inspiration to young residents like us

just discovered your channel and i love it... ❤️

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.

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

You are both such a super smart couple and have a beautiful family❤️

My younger sister 24 is an oncology nurse. So I understand the weird schedule and working around her. As well as letting her vent after a long day. You two are a great team!!

Lovely couple. Wishing you a blessed marriage.❤️

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.

Edit: I said something uncool out of jealousy, I’m changing my comment. You lucky bastard.

you guys are great, hope you guys stay safe are love your work !👍👍

Lucky you have an supporting wife!!!

Yes now a days all are unhappy searching happiness every where though happiness is inside them must watch your lovely video.

God bless you and your family, you guys are great.

Hi Alex. It's nice coming across your profile. My boyfriend shared your video- Day in the Life of a Neurosurgeon on call, and I then watched your other videos. I am on the path of becoming a Neurosurgeon. I come from Nigeria and currently live there but I have written IELTS and about to take my PLAB exams. Please I want to ask, what are the steps to take in my path to becoming a Neurosurgeon? Could you break down the specific details of what it entails if one wants to become a Neurosurgery resident in UK? And I sincerely would not mind being mentored by you. Finally, I must say this video is so lovely and got me smiling throughout. Your wife is so beautiful and I love how the both of you have come to understand each other and love and support one another. Thanks for sharing this video and many others that you have shared. I will be looking forward to your reply.

Have a good life😊...spot on about doctor's lives though!

I was a stay at home dad for about 5 years while my wife worked 12 hour shifts at a care home dealing mainly with dementia patients and cannot imagine having to do all that i did while also doing a job especially if it was as a gp.

......super Video Work...good inside info, how it all works....well, well done !!! ...

Best of luck to both of you with your professional and family life. By watching your video together I felt that you guys have that special bond between yourself and although it would be a pretty hard slog, you will be able to stick it together to the end. Dr. Ahmed

I am married to a surgical rep. They have the same crazy hours. Anyone in medicine can attest I’m sure

My favourite videos so far on relationship advice both side effort is required this makes me feel so good that I love my work but my past relationship she hated me spending too much time working, no support at all lol I self doubting my self but this is freaking amazing and Sarah is intelligent women, Alex is a man

Just got on your channel.. Great video!!!

Amazing family. Wish you all the best 👍🏻🌹❤️ God bless you 🌹

Not married yet... my boyfriend is a soon to be surgeon and I'm almost done with med school.... it's not always easy..... but I understand completely and love him even more for it......

The more I watch your vlogs the more you are becoming my inspiration...... ❤️ #dreaming_to_be_a_neurosurgeon

You re such a cute couple may god bless you and ur children ❤️❤️

Absolutely amazing ❤️

Thank you for posting.

It will be great if you make a film about basic skills that medical student who want to be a neurosurgeon should master :D

I like your honesty

you both are so inspiring

Beautiful wife 💜 Beautiful couple 💜 God bless your family 💜💜

7:42 My favourite quote!!! 😀

You guys are incredible :)

Nice job bro !

You guys make a gorgeous couple Masha'Allah ♥♥ You mentioned that your 7.5 mo. old daughter had a couple of problems after birth. I sincerely hope & pray that may God always keep her in optimal health. Do you mind sharing a little about it? I myself am pursuing training in Paeds & any health concerns regarding kids always peaks my curiosity. Stay blessed. Keep rocking 👍

It sounds like it is very similar to being dual active duty. Everything in our lives revolved around 24 hour duties and deployments.

Such a cute couple and such a beautiful family!

Power couple 💪🏽💪🏽

This is a fucking awesome RU-vid channel when i was younger i always wanted to be a surgeon just never knew of what lol unfortunately that never happened. But i still love that line of work

Couple goals! ❤️

Love from Sweden brother ❤❤❤❤

By the way, I have a question, what pay band are neurosurgeons on normally? I am suprised they aren't earning more than GPs! I would have thought surgeons are arguably under a lot more stress....

One of the best video ever 👌👌👌

Great family good luck on everything .

Guys...on my days off I took my kids to the lake. Swimming, fishing, boating. I brought breakfast, drinks, snacks, toys. We were on the lake by 6:30 am. Off by 11:30am. At 1030 all food was gone. Drinks were gone. When are we going to lunch dad? Denny’s. They all slept well, for the hour plus drive home. Point? It’s their day too. Might as well capitulate lol.

I have an important question. I have been struggling with clinical depression for 1 year. I am considering TMS, would you happen to know anything about Transcranial magnetic Stimulation? Also what is your take on how antidepressants affect the brain? Thank you so so much.

Such a cute couple!

hi may i just say your wife is beautiful, lucky man . along with you cute children , my love to you both liz, yes being a neurosurgical intensive care nurse i see the the stress, so fully understand, burn out . i moved out of neurosurgery after fifteen years because i too just burnt out sadly but it just hit out of the blue .. take care of each other as i am sure you do . great videos thank you .

Hey, doc. I have a quick question about your wedding band. Because I know that surgeons, because of their profession, tend not to wear rings, I was wondering how you circumvent that. I remember that my neurosurgeon, to do that, actually has his wedding band tattooed onto his ring finger.
