  • @kazakhstanmkj Wait so you're gonna become a physician? Like you think it's worth it right?

  • @shriswamiramanand Not only makes a lot less BUT is also a thinking specialty and is like a beta person compared to alpha person surgeons. They are so arrogant.

  • @Mega554321 One can perform surgery and one cannot. Guess which one does? a neurosurgeon of course. They work in cohesion as the neurologist will recommend the patient to a neurosurgeon if the patient may require surgery then the neurosurgeon will recommend the patient back to the neurologist for prognosis and further treatment and later care. Hope this helped.

  • @ToodGime SAME here. I am going to do all that living life first then pursue that lifestyle. No one wants life to pass before their eyes nor sacrifice your youth BUT being a doctor physician once become you sworn your life to protect people and dedicate your whole life for another and everyone 1000% all the time so what can you do. That is the prize of being a physician or a human being i think. This is my thoughts.

  • @shriswamiramanand Do not forget psychiatrists, who treat diseases of the mind.

  • @Mega554321 it is not dump question, many people don't know...

    neurosurgeon--- does surgery of spine and brain--- from tumor removal to disc herniation etc...

    neurologist--- are physician who diagnose, manage and treat non surgical aspects of brain, like stroke, seizures, headaches, muscular dystrophies.... and also make much less!

  • @Mega554321

    The former diagnoses, treats, and refers conditions of the nervous system and the latter performs surgery on the nervous system.

  • this may be a dumb question but what is the diffrence between a neurologist and a neurosurgeon
