What is the job of a neurosurgeon like in terms of procedures, the types of people that go into this field, the hours, salary?
Brain Tumor: Neurosurgeons at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas will perform brain tumor resection in the hospital's new, state-of-the-art BrainSUITE, one of only seven in the world.
but what types of surgery exactly? and why is it so high paid?
where do you get your statistic of 30%?

I work for a group of neurosurgeons, and while some are successful at maintaining a life outside of their practice, the work-family balance is very, very difficult.

The training is long. They drill holes in people's head.
Non-medical folks have a fascination with the heart and the brain. Anyone who has permission to drill a hole in your head or cut on your heart makes money the big bucks 'cause regular folks don't know better.
RAH, RAH DERMATOLOGY! GO ACNE!

by Katrina Firlik.
It is a great book (it just came out). It will tell you everything you need to know about the field of neurosurgery.

I work as a scrub for a bunch of surgeons, in the OR. We do neuro 3 a week and emergency cases as needed.
It is cool, but I don't think I could stand the residency.
