A day in the life of a Neurosugical Resident

[abmuk]

Greetings,

I didn't see a Neurosurgical Resident forum so this is the closest I think that I can get to it.

I have a long, long way to go but my passion is the human brain.

What is a day like in the life of a neurosurgical resident, neurosurgeon?

Any advice for a pre-med student soon to be Biology major/French minor?

Thanks!

If you need a car mechanic, and can't find one in a phone book, do you call a plumber?

I was once in your shoes as a pre-med with hopes to become an orthopedic surgeon.

After entering medical school and realizing that orthopods were a bunch of testosterone-overloaded jerks, I make my switch to my original love of the neurosciences.

Out of curiousity.....how much of your passion for neurosurgery is based on a romanticized view of the specialty (and a need to boost your own ego) and how much of your passion is based on pure interest?

If you really want to know the brain and the nervous system, become a neurologist.

my two cents

I think we forget that the average second year medical student, let alone a pre-med, doesn;t know what neurosurgeons and neurologists really are.

We sit around in giant comfy leather chairs while beautiful women gawk at our nametags and feed us grapes. Occassionally, I open up a skull or two for nostalgia's sake.
