| My NS wrote an article against cutting NS residency hours.
Wow. Just everything about neurosurgery deserves a wow. From the length and intensity of the training to the size of the paycheck...wow. Still, my neurosurgeon works so hard and such long hours that I wonder when he has time to spend his money? Last year he took a vacation-->to present at a conference.
You have to really love it, I think, to tolerate that kind of grueling intensity for so long.
The road to being a physician is so tough. My son wants to go into pediatric infectious disease and work internationally. I am proud of him and not because he is going to be a doctor but because he is willing to work to long and so hard without much monetary reward.
Maybe I should tell him to go into neurosurgery....except that I would like to see him again someday.
