  • @ainabathula actually, neurologists lead normal lives after their training. Neurosurgeons are the busiest doctors.

  • Why does he seem so slow ?

  • @ToodGime He's thinking before and while speaking to most accurately describe why he became a Neurosurgeon. I am a Premed student with hopes of becoming a Neurosurgeon myself and I work eight hours a day with Physicians of all practices and you'd be surprised at how many of them appear "slow" or abnormal. It's really just a sign of analytical and critical thinking and/or intelligence..

  • @ToodGime He just chooses his words carefully, that's why. Instead of giving you fast talk obfuscation he's actually telling you from his soul how he came to this path..

  • @tusepagliacco Naa you know he seems a little slow.

  • @ToodGime Cause he's using....his.....brain.....?..­. and he's a foreigner lol

  • @obadets3 He is my cousin, and he does that a lot.

  • @superwiicrazy Well it seems like all those years of school hurt his brain.

  • @ToodGime why does it matter?

  • All these kids are like "OmG i like the Brain we will all get 100% scholarships to Harvard! :D". Do you have any idea of how hard the goal you set is and how few people make it?

  • I liked when he said 'uhh'
