I see everyone talking about the incredible demands placed on neurosurgeons. What exactly are these demands? I realize this is a dumb question, but asking here seems to be the easiest way to find the answer. How many hours/days a week do most neurosurgeons work? I know the surgeries can be very long and grueling, but no one could be expected to perform an 8 hour procedure 7 days a week, or even 6. How about residency? Of course the first year or two is going to be filled with 80+ hour work weeks, but how about years 5-7 of the lengthy residency program? Thanks a lot in advance
