The Neurosurgeon Goes to Therapy

[DGlaucomflecken]

Hey everybody, thanks for watching. If you happen across a neurosurgeon, please don't look directly at them.

As a medical student who worked with several neurosurgeons, I have to say this is exaggerating. They are in fact really nice, they never charge me for the blanket warmer.

As the psychiatrist married to the neurosurgeon I remember an evening in the early years of our marriage when he leaned over in bed and traced a pattern through My hair - he was mapping his approach to the surgery the next day - lol! Between us, we have a great appreciation for the brain.

Oh god please dont tell me the reason why neurosurgeons have nice houses is so they can fit an entire operating room somewhere

'Psychiatry is not a surgical disease' sounds exactly like something someone with cerebral lesion would say..

the chief of surgery at one of my med school's hospitals had a crayon drawing done by one of his kids, of which he was very proud, on the wall in his office. It showed a house with stick drawings of a mom and 2 kids labeled "our house" and a rectangular tall building with a sign "hospital" with a stick figure of a man labeled "Daddy's house". Even then, I thought it was very sad.

This brings back memories. My dad used to be a neurosurgeon before he retired. When I was a kid I used to play with a doctor’s kit at home and he would come in during the weekends and point out what I was doing wrong and how my surgeries werent realistic.
Fun times!

There's something oddly heartwarming about the neurosurgeon appreciating the happiness of the JCPenney stock family. May he find the same if he can ever remember what his family looks like or where he last left them

As someone who scrubs (Surgical tech here) with neurosurgeons on a regular basis, this certainly tickles my funny bone! And it's 100% accurate! We especially have a neuro doc here who is literally here everyday. He works as if he will be destitute and on the streets if he misses a day. Please Dr. N, go home!

"My direct gaze results in overwhelming imposter syndrome" reminds me of my Anatomy professor...ROFL

I‘m a neurosurgeon and I can tell you: doing 100 surgeries a week is not good, doing 1 surgery for a week is the awesome stuff. Unfortunately my longest was only 18 hours but I assisted one that took 27 hours. It was the best day(s) of my life! PS: my wife won’t be bothered I didn’t say our wedding cause she is a neurosurgeon too. I always enjoy meeting her in the hallway!

I like how Neurosurgeon said "That's my wife and young child" because he forgot whether he had a son or a daughter. XD

[Headphone-Heroes]

Matched into Neurosurgery! I'm most excited to work on my gaze over the next 7 years.

😂 When they capped resident hours to 80 h per week on avg, Neurosurgery increased the duration of its residency from 6 to 7 years because 80 hrs per week for 6 years is not enough time to train neurosurgeons. Seriously.

Psychiatry may not be a surgical disease but surgery is a psychiatric disorder lol

[notagiraffe]

Hilarious as always!
I'd love to see Johnathan go to therapy someday...

[OverpepperedSoup]

I'm a non-doctor from a family of doctors just appreciating what I didn't get myself into because I like sleeping and having a normal work-life balance.

My teenage daughter’s pediatric neurosurgeon made the incision further back from her hairline than he initially planned because right before surgery my husband told him she really cared about her hair. And in a location where her hair would cover the scar. Sadly he retired from ucsf in 2020. What an understanding gem

[uekernas]

The residents pay rent on the blanket warmer! :-)
(And the psychiatrist is apparently ok with that.)

[mycousinisfat]

Wait, so what happens when a neurosurgeon stares at another neurosurgeon?
