Medical Careers : How to Become a Neurologist

[Aerof15]

This guy.... XD

[martinthepimp09]

@ALEXCHASE750 the brain and the nerves that have to do with it

[billionsofmoney298]

@blitzel3 thank you

[billionsofmoney298]

can you be a brain surgeon after you get a g.e.d

[Maxiesaxxy]

@billionsofmoney298

yes you can.

[dmanagua]

@billionsofmoney298 No. LOL

[ALEXCHASE750]

Neurologists dont specialize in the brain, they specialize in the nervouse system

[tak783]

@ALEXCHASE750 The brain is part of nervous system.

[BladePenguin]

@tak783 he meant the brain is not the nervous system

[tak783]

@BladePenguin just a big misunderstanding xD

[salchaw]

all that just to tell people we don't know what causes m.s and we have no cure for it and we can't even stop the progression and yet it;s the most common cns disease .

ha ha ha ha ha ha !

[123swingnf]

how much math do i need to take in highschool to become a neurologist ?

[dosh225]

Then once qulified, your an over paid drug dealer, you pump your paitient's full of drugs they walk round like zombies having fits after fits, and u make them come back on a monthly to a 6 mothly basis you chop & change there medication then claim you dunno whats wrong (Cause really u don't) and make up every excuss under the sun, then you palm them off to another docter who does the same thing, PROVE ME WRONG I'M LIVING THIS NIGHTMARE....

[MilwaukeeFtw]

@dosh225 Sure that isn't psychiatry you're thinking of?

Neurology deals with strokes, alzheimers, parkinsons disease, the nervous system etc. Psychiatry deals with mental health (schizophrenia, depression etc).

[dosh228]

@MilwaukeeFtw No my friend it's definetly not psychiatry i'm thinking of, I'm 100% of sure that. I lived up untill i was 28 years of age unharmed and had 1 turn, all of a sudden i'm epilleptic, hang on the weeknd prior i was dehydrated to the point of spewing on the cricket field lol due to a big 1 the night prior and the day after the seizure i was in hospital with a virus for two weeks on a drip in intense care, yet all the doc wanted to do was give me meds before seeing any reports WTF.

[SmileyFace131213]

Specializes in the brain? More like the entire nervous system.

[YurChuck23]

Dam I need help, should I be Neurologist a Psychiatrist or a Psychologist?

I'm taking tough decisions.

[dmanagua]

@YurChuck23 I never met a psychologist who was normal to hang out with; i have met many psychiatrists who are cool to hang out with, but do have some odd quirks. never knew if it was due to the people who gravitate toward this or the profession makes them that way. food for thought.

[therach1025]

It's one year (not two) of biology with labs, 2 years of chemistry (General and Organic, both with labs), and 1 year of physics (with labs).

[SoulMan1861]

nice. just dont know about fellowship in further specialty like neruoimmunology. But definitely neruology

[SamiBebe2]

don't forget the part about having abnormally high arrogance levels and your soul surgically removed. i have yet to have one "treat" me, because they no longer learn after getting the degree. Heartless and cold, I have paid far too much for no helpa t all.

[peekickmamafush]

there educated in being a doctor, not your friend. you want someone to talk to go see a shrink

[Matrixman12345]

@peekickmamafush doctors are there to save your lives i think you should be very grateful no matter what kind of doctor they are 

[IRANisPERSIA1]

@peekickmamafush maybe you should see a spelling teacher.

[peekickmamafush]

@IRANisPERSIA1 Maybe your country should stop hanging innocent people and stop their upcoming nuclear program.

[IRANisPERSIA1]

@peekickmamafush Djibouti?? are you serious? lol.

[peekickmamafush]

@IRANisPERSIA1 Maybe, stop deflecting you little imbesile. And so what if I am from Djibouti? By the way you should see a "spelling" teacher, don't you know that after a question mark you always need to use a capital letter? Idiot

[IRANisPERSIA1]

@peekickmamafush ooo really? your going to get that in dept? lol Djibouti? LOOOOOL

o ya and by the way, you spelled imbecile wrong. LOL Djibouti? lol

[peekickmamafush]

@IRANisPERSIA1 I confess, I'm actually a criminal running away from the law, therefore I am "from" Djibouti.. Although I might have screwed up with the IP adresse. Snapalishious

[IRANisPERSIA1]

@peekickmamafush reported

[peekickmamafush]

@IRANisPERSIA1 CAPS LOCK TO EXPRESS MY ANGER TOWARDS YOU not

[IRANisPERSIA1]

@peekickmamafush fag

[peekickmamafush]

@IRANisPERSIA1 I am

[IRANisPERSIA1]

@peekickmamafush fag

[dmanagua]

@SamiBebe2 I always tell people to stay away from doctors..

[IsThisTourettes]

ouille..i got a loooonnnggg way to go..

[aznboi1398]

I am a sophmore high school who is interested in medical field. I am thinking about becoming a neurologist as a choice. Also a psychiatrist. Can someone tell me the working hours of the jobs and what they do at work.

[dmanagua]

Neurologists work less hours than most doctors unless you go into stroke neurology. hours are like 9 to 4. salary for that work is about 150k. greedy people want to work 7 to 6, earning about 350k.

[TheNextPre2010]

And what might that specialty be in the medical field if I may ask?

[TheNextPre2010]

Sorry buddy but if you can't tell what a neurologist does at work just by the name, your probably not capable of taking on 4 years of college, 4 years of med school, 1 year of internship, and 3 years of residency....... dont mean to be a douchebag

[aznboi1398]

yea that was before

never knew how hard it was to become a neurologist

i am in avid and i was suppose to research about jobs i might be interestted in the future. I know its going to be something in the medical field and im thinking of job shadowing a psychologist or a psychiatrist

[nzmarc]

sigh...No wonder neurologists are so expensive....

[torturedbyshrinks]

Shotfricking neurologists had the nerve to tell me I was "fat" after I just had grand mal seizures on high school gradution day taking their brainfricking drugs which were supposed to "help" me. Brainfrickers like to brainfrick little kids and mess them up for life so they will end up on even more drugs being more brainfricked so they will have to see a brainficker psychoshrink brainshrinker more often. They are all a bunch of condescending losers just like most of the rest of the medical profs

[greenman8181]

shut up holy shit....

[dmanagua]

He speaks fast cause he has 100 such spiels to give.

[JustAnotherX]

Whoa...slow doooown on the introduction, mate. :-) He seems really eager to get it over with.

[2014MD]

3.7 or higher...hah, i had a 3.4 and got in to many medical schools. And dude, you talk way too fast.

[mak2675]

@2014MD

he's not talking fast at all. You're just used to slow talking. I wouldn't be surprised if you are American as Americans (i am one myself) talk very slowly and to no better avail since the speech still lacks vocabulary and descriptiveness. His rate of speech is right about at the world average (probably still slow for chinese, but faster than typical american english). You also have to also consider this is a well educated person.

[nao1163]

@2014MD for real???? in canada we need like 3.8+...

[JohnnyShoulders]

@2014MD Cause you said dude, I want you to be my doctor!

[torturedbyshrinks]

You have to be an ugly loser who can only attract women by the cash in your wallet and bank account to become a neurologist. And you really have to dig torturing people.

[shogun522]

Thats ridiculous. How could you torture someone if you are a physician?

[torturedbyshrinks]

Have you ever heard of "chemotherapy"?

Ask people if it feels good.

Usually chemotherapy is used for years or months.

Psychiatric treatment is used on victims for their entire lives unless they can figure out how to runaway when the laws want them drugged for life even though they are innocent.

Anyone who disagrees should go try some of these drugs you want to force on others.

[dmanagua]

BTW, I agree with you; if a doctor isn't willing to try the same medication they give you, then maybe you shouldn't take it and run!

[torturedbyshrinks]

So then we should force all doctors to take their own medicine?

Pick which patient whose drug regimen you want to follow and adhere to...I wonder how many will pick the psychiatric drug regimen and say therapy works wonders?

[torturedbyshrinks]

Pick your "torture"

waterboarding (lasts a few minutes)

chemotherapy (lasts a few months, then it kills you)

psychiatric drugging

Let me see you try out some psychiatric drugs if you think they are so great--go turn yourself into a guinea pig and stay on them for decades...see if you can tolerate it. You can't handle it, you are all talk and NO ACTION.

[torturedbyshrinks]

Obviously you have never taken psychiatric drugs, have you? You have never been through chemotherapy either I would presume. Just be grateful for your health and happiness and shutup and go do something useful with your life besides contemplating entering the torture field of medicine.

[dmanagua]

There is never a way to rationalize with a "mental" as you say. Obstinate ranting is a trademark of delusions. Zyprexa is used for Bipolar. Together this is schizoaffective or schizophreniform, with a tendency toward jobs disparate from personnel. I leave you to your duty and wish you well. Neurologists are different doctors from psychiatrists, btw.

[torturedbyshrinks]

Ranting, as you say, is demonstrated by people being oppressed.

And people who are oppressed are given labels such as bipolar or schizo-whatnot in order to discredit their complaints, including discrediting the "mainstreams" or controlling party's political enemies.Obviously, as Tom Cruise said, YOu do not know the history of psychiatry..and the neurologists were pushing MAOIs on me because I had an oppressed life made more oppressive with each drug they experimented on me

[torturedbyshrinks]

You should listen to Michelle Malkin speak on her conservative views on cable tv. You might call her speech and zealous beliefs ranting. Perhaps some of us just have have truly been oppressed by the drugs you told us were good for us but only ended up making us blind, obese, and disabled. Since the neurologists and the psychiatrists are in power with the legal system, there is no need for you to rant.

[dmanagua]

you are an idiot, and have no damn clue of what you speak. sorry if you were done wrong by a doctor; but you obviously have reason to see one.

[torturedbyshrinks]

I graduated with honors in Computer Science, so no, I am not an idiot. You need to look up the definition of idiot before you start calling people one. Do I need to teach you how to use a dictionary?

[dmanagua]

I used the term idiot because you are making generalized statements concerning the psychiatric and neurologic profession based on your narrowly grounded viewpoint. Do you honestly think psychiatry has harmed more people than it has helped? No form of treatment is perfect. I agree some of those medications are not healthy and many I do not prescribe because of that; but to think psychiatry is a violator of the people, victimizing lifelong, is absurd and obstinate, i.e., idiocy.

[torturedbyshrinks]

I have been coerced into "trying" nearly every psyche drug on the market, so I do not have a narrow view of psychiatry, but a very broad view of what these drugs to do me, in particular, and in every other patient I have known...Why don't you walk 15 years in your patients shoes and TAKE THE DRUGS YOU ARE FORCING ON OTHERS? You are the hypocrite here. "TREATMENT" is another word for Torture here....I would much rather be "treated" with waterboarding for 5 minutes than with psyche drugs.

[torturedbyshrinks]

YOU ARE DOCTORS OF DEATH.

GO SUBJECT YOURSELF TO YOUR "TREATMENT" that you inflict on OTHERS.

[torturedbyshrinks]

Here are the people who are HELPED by psychiatry:

1. Psychiatrists (earn 200K or more per year to torture people)

2. Pharmaceutical companies, their CEOS, drug developers, and svelte pharmaceutical reps- obviously never took psychiatric obesity drug

3. Stockholders of pharma drugs

4. Corrupt Politicians and Corrupt FDA employees taking bribes from drug companies to legalize drug torture on children

5. Almost all other doctors who get psychiatric victim referrals because of psyche drug effects

[dmanagua]

Like I wrote earlier, I'm sorry you had such bad experience dealing with psych doctors. Not every doctor is the same. There are some who hurt, being ignorant and negligent, and others who truly help. If you can acknowledge that there are actually doctors out there that help, then you can be level-headed; because such an extreme view is unhealthy and maladaptive. And NO medication or psychotherapy helps that kind of person.

[torturedbyshrinks]

I acknowledge that doctors truly help others by creating high paying jobs for (themselves) and others, but NOT for any mentally labeled victims. If you were to measure patient outcomes in the level of income "mentals" could produce vs the income of their "captors" that would be an indication of HELPING THE PATIENT WORK at also high paying jobs.

If however, they drug the person into somnolence, obesity, and blindness, then have they helped their "patient" or have they only helped THEMSELVES?

[RyVal3000]

honestly this makes me sad, because I have to say that my sister seeing her psychiatrist probably saved her life. Why don't you not do the drugs then if you do not think they help? My sister didn't end up even going on any drugs in the end. She had the experience of seeing someone who did care and they just talked through everything. I hope things get better for you.

[MissVampireDiaries]

I don't know many psychiatrist that make more than $200,000 years.

[mojitobanana]

@MissVampireDiaries ...But they sure get to know a lot of....interesting...people! :)

[BelfastAtheist]

@torturedbyshrinks

You're a fucking psychopath, really..go back to your shrink.

[torturedbyshrinks]

Furthermore, with respect to all my other posts, if you agree that I have been wronged by doctor(s), then I ought to be able to sue them all correct? No, I cannot, because your profession has done such an excellent job of convincing the entire jury pool that mentals think of nothing else except violence unless they are drugged to death. You doctors represent our SLANDERERS, DEFAMERS, LIBELERS, and our TORTURERS.

[torturedbyshrinks]

Obviously you have not taken as many drugs as I have; all you do is tell other people to take poison torture which you do not want to take yourself.

HYPOCRITE!

[torturedbyshrinks]

You Are not SORRY for anything that happened to me, you are defending it, and it wasn't "A Doctor" it was DOZENS of "doctors" so don't attribute any kindness to your "character"....you are a HYPOCRITE. Your industry will be crushed someday, if not by the patients speaking out, your industry will be crushed by the cost of the health problems that these drugs cause to people. Psychiatric drugs are the reason for obesity, diabetes, heart attacks and all kinds of other health costs skyrocketing.

[torturedbyshrinks]

You are the one who needs to get a clue..take some zyprexa for a year and try to see if you can stop yourself from gaining 100 lbs in the first year, and realize you are supposed to take if for life; I can name every torture effect from nearly every pysche drug and believe me, I will....you cannot silence us...kill one of us with your drugs and "treatment" but there are always others being "treated" who will say the same things I am saying. HYPOCRITE.

[torturedbyshrinks]

None of your argments addresses the fact that you are A HYPOCRITE unless you try as many and as much drugs as I have tried, that you like to promote to others and recommend to others, etc.

while the neurologist assesses the brain damage that the drugs cause..you neurologists are profiting off torture drugs, the blood money trail goes to you too.

[torturedbyshrinks]

You have to have morals worse than a whore.

That is a requirement if you think chopping up people's brains in a lobotomy operation is somehow helping people.

[BelfastAtheist]

@torturedbyshrinks

Nobody will ever give a shit about anything you have to say.

[unkelroy]

1.take ur middle finger and put on ur nose.

2.say a name of someone u like.

3.that person will ask u out or say they love u tomorrow.

4. heres the thing copy and paste to 2 other vids its tru i tryed it yesterday and it worked

[sspies7]

academics and are looking for how well you can think and learn which is what the MCAT is all about and your interview. Maybe you should do alittle bit more research yourself....

[2014MD]

the MCAT as a predictor of how well one will do in medical school is such bullshit...I have "honored" and "high passed" all my first year classes and I had a 26 MCAT...so at least in my case the MCAT doesn't predict anything.

[sspies7]

you need a min year of General biology, Physics with lab General chemistry (inorganic chemistry) with lab Organic chemistry with lab Calculus and English. Medical school admissions are competitive, so you need to have a strong GPA. A GPA above 3.5 is preferable. And no you don't have to major in science, you just have to major in something you enjoy, and show them your passionate and willing to work. Don't forget your MCAT which is very important, most med schools are leaning away from

[azbagelboy]

Wow. This guy is wrong. Science undergrad is not required, and is sometimes frowned upon. You only need one yr of bio(a bit more is reccomended), and no calculus is required, but stat sometimes is. He said that you need a 3.7 gpa or higher. This is bullcrap. Very few people, incuding pre-meds, have a gpa that high. I stopped watching the video at this point. Never take anyones' word for it. Do the research yourself.
