@brenduhhize 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, and anywhere from 2-7 years of post graduate residency training. For surgery, this is usually longer than 2 years.
Surgeons are highly overrated and pathologists underrated . Surgery is not all that it seems to be (at-least to the non medical person). I am a doctor so trust me!
i dont wana be thirty when i become rich but i do get to help people and neurosurgery is interesting. my dad is one.i saw one of his surgery's on a dvd or somthing
Yeah, 14 here I'm thinking of General Surgery ( Not general surgeon that gets people mixed up ,lol) get to be the backbone of the OR ( No pun intended)
@1NoneofYourBusiness1 Very, very well paying career. After you complete your residency and fellowship, you usually start with 200k a year, sometimes around 170k. Expect it to go to around 300-400k in the future. But it is a very stressful job. Long workhours (generally 50-60 a week, sometimes 7 days a week, sometimes 80 hours a week). There is not much stability, as you're on call nearly all day. Doctors have very high suicide rates, so it's something to think about.
@o0Rishay0o Yes. I would read a lot of medical books, and watch a lot medical things, Also research your career a lot. I would recommend that you focus on sciences, and maths in HS.
one in a half years ago I went in for Neurosurgery and I was very grateful to have such an amazing team of doctors, surgeons, and nurses. Everything went exactly according to plan and I was completely recovered and well 3 months later.
@blumac81 Actually, all that really does is help the patient react to stimuli. It's to make sure that the surgeon hasn't damaged any vital areas contingent on you living a functionally normal life. The brain doesn't actually have neurons, so you wouldn't actually "feel" the surgeon probing through your brain if this were to happen.
@Michael326 ...the brain has neurons...about 100,000,000,000 of them. They may not be of the same class as the ones in the rest of the body, but they are still neurons.

Neurosurgery would be interesting, get to use electric probes directly on the brain to make patients feel things :P

@blumac81 Expect to train for about 20 years or so before doing that. Sucks.

Yeah, it's a whole ton of school and training, and for good reason, you'd be messing with someone's head!

I would say that it's worth it in the end. How many people wish that they had become brain surgeons when they're 40 or 50?

Neurosurgeons wish they didnt become that... Trust me.
