You know, doctors are humans too. People tend to forget that. They can only work with the latest science. We/them are still mapping the human brain and all that is attached to it. Lots of unknowns in the world of surgery. Thank you for being a doctor let alone a neurosurgeon.

Becoming a neurosurgeon by 33 is mind blowing! You were very committed and determined!

Most people won’t realize how crazy that is. Usually you’re around 40.

Honestly 15 years fly by in the blink of an eye. Even faster when you’re doing something you’re passionate about. To anyone out there with dreams of pursuing a career in medicine, don’t let time be your deterrent; years will go by wether you’re still in school or working retail.

It’s a lot, but that’s the amount of years of training I’d want someone to have to work on my brain. Mad respect.

Dedication to your specialty is no joke. 5 yrs general surgery, and then fellowship training. Amazing the journey you Drs go through.

Not really neurosurgery residency is 7 years its seperate from a general surgery residency

And than they say "only athletes are working hard to accomplish sth, they deserve to be paid millions a year". DOCTORS DESERVE WAY MORE BECAUSE THEY WILL SAVE YOU WHEN YOU ARE IN PROBLEM , NO ONE ELSE, not a single athlete, actress, singer etc.

How truly impressed and thankful I am for you and others like you ! Thank God for those who dedicate their lives to helping others . My one twin daughter is a nurse practitioner at Penn State Hershey medical center .. Hershey Pennsylvania on shock trauma /SICU unit ! What I have observed while watching her go through so much training … is the blood sweat and tears involved ! And she has given me a small glimpse at what the residents deal with … no sleep … studies etc etc … it has given me the greatest admiration for all those who give so much to help mankind ! I’m thinking my daughter would just love you !!!! I don’t think the general public realizes the cost … much more than financial … thank you for your dedication to helping others ❤

Thank you for doing 15 years of schooling to be a great neuro surgeon! You are a life saver!!

wow, just amazing focus from high school.

That's dedication.

That is complete dedication. Thank you Dr. 😊 🫂

I have the utmost respect and admiration for you Doc and other Doctors in this field. You guys are absolutely amazing. Most surgeons I’ve encountered have tbh been quite intimidating and not so friendly nor down to earth. But this Doctor has such amazing energy, so down to earth and has a lovely friendly face. ❤

That is dedication and love of what you do! RESPECT

I can't believe you're a surgeon you seem so incredibly humble. Love your videos.

and the training never ends, as it shouldn't Learning is lifelong...if passionate about learn, knowledge, and helping. THEN, after some time in convention medicine, you spend more money to actually get trained in root cause analysis and bring better care to the patients going outside the system to learn what we should have, within - like gut-brain connection, food is medicine or disease, 'etc'

I could do all that training and schooling and pass but I still wouldn't feel confident enough to go into somebody's brain and mess around. I got to hand it to any sort of doctor of any kind out there y'all are amazing and fantastic and you work so hard to Keep Us Alive and healthy. It must be so rewarding completing every surgery you do knowing that you have saved someone's life or bettered someone's life. I feel like doctors of any kind don't get enough praise as well as dentist and eye doctors and plastic surgeons even.

Confidence to cut is a huge part of it. In my third year of medical school, there were people who were already scrubbed in to surgeries and assisting with really intense procedures (brain, heart, vascular, orthopedic). You either want it or you don’t.

Thank you for sharing your story without any added fluff or bullshit*t. It's refreshing to just get the facts.

It's like getting a PhD in a field. That's some dedication

To me, no one should be able to get paid more than someone like this. What they do is at the frontier of human ability. Not athletes

Gracias doctor por su importante trabajo.

Respect. Yeah. Respect and awe

Considering the complexity of the human nervous system, fifteen years is surprisingly fast. No doubt tons of learning and practical experience. Can't imagine that effort. Your eyes SHOW IT.

Wow.. I truly admire your vocation! God bless you 🙏🏼 My daughter is in her Junior year in high school right now, and she works so hard from now, because her will is to become a trauma neurosurgeon 🙏🏼

Thank you for all that. My neurosurgeon saved my life

I appreciate all the people that are in the medical field. They save lives ❤

Bro looks kinda depressed at the end lol

I wish more people could really understand what you have to go through to become what you are. You are a different layer of human being who is here on earth to help others.🙏

Your commitment is overwhelming! I have a greater appreciation for my own neurosurgeon. I always thought highly of mine now I find him an awesome human.

And you RUN to the bank BABY! You guys are the BOMB!!!!

It takes much longer these days, most people have to take extra years doing research to get into a good residency and fellowship

Its a lot longer in most non-US countries too

That's a lot of years and education I think dedication is an understatement I have chiari 1 malformation & syringomyelia congenitial un treated I do wish society would shed more light on this horrific disorder as I get no emotional support or understanding due to looking pretty or ok. It the chiari Is shunned I feel even in the Neurological field Thank you for the video

Great respect and thanks for what you do.😊

I wanted to be a neurosurgeon but experience with patient date made me realize I was too of a soft touch. I couldn’t handle the weight of losing my patients. So instead of changing my field, I changed the branch of the field I wanted to be in. I found my perfect spot. Still get to experience direct patient care but do not have to deal with patient death.

And, those years give people more years with their loved ones. My late husband lived another 2.5 years after his massive craniotomy. His fibrolamellar cancer spread to his head. Without that neurosurgery and reconstruction, he probably would have only made it a few weeks. So, thank you for those years to the neurosurgeons out there! (And, amazing plastics surgeons doing reconstruction who figure out how to make a new brain container!)

Thank you Sir for your dedication & saving people ♥️👍🙏

That’s why I chose Rocket scientist as a profession instead.

Watching your videos is inspiring. I think if I was younger I would love to have become a neurosurgeon. A vocation that ticks all the boxes for me. Thankyou. An amazing and life changing vocation. Inspired! MK Australia
