A Day in the Life of Neurosurgery Residents at Carilion Clinic
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 июн 2018
- In 2018, we followed Dr. Cara Rogers and Dr. Christopher Busch through a day in their lives as neurosurgery residents at Carilion Clinic. The day starts before the sun comes up and is filled with everything from academic work to following up on patients in the hospital and in the clinic.
Dr. Cara Rogers is now one of Carilion’s neurosurgeons on staff, specializing in brain, spine, pediatric, peripheral nerve, and pituitary tumors. She joined the team in 2020.

There was a day when I used to watch these videos to get inspired and now I'm doing everything they have shown !
Living a life of neurosurgery resident !
Stay strong. It's all worth it in the end!
I m confused what should i choose orthopedic or neurosurgery,please help me
little grutt yoo me too I don’t know which one to choose
little grutt both are grueling paths, pick whichever you have interest in
Wonderful, i wish i could live like them 😊
I had brain cancer as a kid, consisting of 2 tumors in my brain and 4 on my spine that left me paralyzed from the waist down for 3 years. I cannot put into words just how much I adore my 2 neurosurgeons immensely
Grey's anatomy really making me think this is possible but who knew they had academics
Actually, it was shown multiple times on the show that they have academics. 😃
Okay please don’t bash me for this, but what do you mean they have academics, I’m genuinely curious on what that means!
@@breezavala3641 Residents are doctors already however they are still considered students, despite them being able to do surgeries, they still have case presentations (a lot of studying and research that they have to put in) of their patients where they have to present to their professors where in this case are the consultants/neurosurgeons :)
J Ahh omg tysm!! I want to be a future doctor, I don’t know what I want to specialize in yet, but I hope I find the right one for me :) And again thank you for the response!
All resident doctors are still considered under training. Only when you reach a specialty level/consultant that you cease to have academic training
I honestly have so much respect for those who do this type of work, I know I certainly wouldn't be able to handle the stress that comes with doing a job like this.
My dad is a neursurgeon and im so proud of him and his job!
Guys this is not what is seems to be.
Few people I know committed suicide because they couldn't handle the stress of this type of environment. residents I know want to leave and do their own thing. Real life is not like Greys anatomy.
It is what it seems to be, it strictly depends on your character. It is a huge challenge of mental endurance, but once you get passed residency you have enough experience where its just simply another day and its no where near as stressful as the first

Work hard in the beginning and relax later. One day at a time: that's my philosophy.
It is true, but to be able to perform such surgeries, and to be between grave and life for your patient really requires that mental strenght, so if you dont have it better quit. there are less stressful options in medicine as well. Also, everyone has to find their own way to relese the stress, by sport, love, books, church.....
I mean with all due respect, the people who are always stressed are those who don't enjoy there fields or have no interest in said field. So of course the workload will be overwhelming. I know this as an engineer, we have to many "wannabees" in school and if the school won't wash them out(which means the quality of that school is questionable), then in the real world you will wash out. In engineering we want true nerds, and in medicine you want those true nurtures.

To be fair, passion can be overshadowed with stress; after all, stress develops in numerous ways.
In regards to healthcare providers, the stress can be any of the following:
Missing a minor detail.
Families disrespecting you.
Patients acting disorderly.
Not saving ones life.
And so on...
This is all part of the job, and for those who choose to walk along this path should be aware of what these jobs entail.
Yes, someone should be absolutely passionate about their work, but we shouldn't undermine the fact that we're still human.
It's so refreshing seeing DOs in neurosurgery
Man, it's refreshing seeing a woman in neurosurgery. Shes the only one ive ever seen
@@Karim-ik5ij neurosurgery is male dominated field that's why. I think 96% of the surgeons are men.
DO or MD doesnt change anything at all.
Or scary.
@@Karim-ik5ij Why? Were people dying somewhere because there are so few women nuersurgeons?
We're incredibly lucky to have such people in our lives saying others. It takes a whole new level of dedication for this.
You have full lives...saving other lives...thank you for being there...
This video just charged me..people just complain a lot about the hectic schedule but the video really protects my dream of becoming a neurosurgeon! I just feel good to help people..Hope I become a neurosurgeon some day..!
Because the schedule is hectic, people aren't talking out of their ass. Those that call it hectic experienced it.
Don’t hope, do it
Good luck!! :)
You can do it !! And hopefully I’ll see you there !!!
padard I do not wish you any ills. But what do you suppose will happen if you ever discover that you have a malignant tumor growing rapidly in your cerebellum? Who do you think will try and help you? Will you accept the help of those money-grubbing, overachieving narcissists? Because how dare they pursue a specialty in a complex field right? By your logic, no one should pursue neurosurgery or any surgical specialty because that would make them a terrible human being. Then who would be left to treat such illnesses? And just F.Y.I , yes they should be payed more because how the hell do you expect them to pay off their student debt after so many years of studying and training?
I’m so happy to see DO neurosurgery residents. :,) congrats to all of you!
Must be relatively rare. DOs don't get these competitive specialties often
@@smellypatel5272 yeah agreed, that’s why it’s even more shocking and amazing to hear
Carilion Clinic was AOA/DO residency hospital ....hence the neurosurgery residency had D.O graduates...But it is now under ACGME and most of the new neurosurgery residents are MD's.
They make it seem like they are very personal with the patients. That’s awesome
This is what we need. People like this.
Derek shepherd has been really quiet after this
cause he dead🙈
he’s been really quiet since he didn’t get a ct
LMFAOO
hes just waiting for his head ct
Thank you to all our doctors and nurses who help save lives every day, we love you! 💚
Nurses don't deserve anywhere near the same level of respect that doctors do. Especially neurosurgeons who dedicate so much to get to that point.
@@smellypatel5272 ?
@@smellypatel5272 without nurses doctors loose at least 50% efficiency wtf
@@ServantOfAllah152 it's "lose" not "loose" and I'm just saying nurses get way more respect than they deserve in reality
@@smellypatel5272 i dont speak english i dont care and they get as much respect for me
Glad to see Osteopathic Residents! Slowly but surely breaking the mold
Wont stop till I'll have a Dr. On my first name,pre-med here I go.
Ej_ L best of luck to ya haha. I’m currently studying for my CPA exam and that is hard enough for me lol.
You can't do it, you're too lazy.
@@TheBambipower maybe you
@@taecnssw1578 You can't do it, you're not intelligent enough.
@@TheBambipower Why are you hurting other people for no reason? I don't want to be a doctor, but that girl does not deserve these words. Focus on your dream, do whatever you want but DO NOT RUIN PEOPLE'S DREAMS!
It is quite lovely to see one of the places I work in as a Medical Interpreter. Even lovelier to understand a big part of their day
Was just about to give up studying for my neuroscience exam tomorrow. Glad RUclips recommended this to me 😭
Will come back after 3 years to tell y'all if I graduated med school or not 😂
I'll be waiting.
I'll also be waiting you better not forget about us.
how’d the exam go!!??
hey, guys!! got a low score in my finals but I passed the course!!!!!!
@@dge. very awesome! Keep us updated
Love seeing DO's as neurosurgeons
It was great seeing 2 DOs in neurosurgery! Go guys!!
Neurosurgery is intense. I was thinking of just specializing in family medicine 😅.
loyal4 the way I’ve heard FM doesn’t have the best lifestyle either. It’s not surgery, but it’s not derm or EM either.
@@DrAdnan Derm is cush as heck, what are you talking about?
JGC XO That’s why I included it as an opposite/contrast to surgery.
@@DrAdnan I'm so stupid hahaha. Sorry bout that mate
JGC XO Lol, no worries. we all misread stuff sometimes
That’s what my nephew wants to do. He’s in year two of biology/pre-med and doing very well at it. I’m enjoying watching him progress in his studies!
Still in school now to do this amazing work one day, such an inspiring video :)
Watching this as rest of the studies to live this. Yes girl
I can't believe there are no comments in this video. I've been looking for content like this in youtube because I'm about to go to college and this is a career that I'm interested in pursuing. Even though this video was only two minutes I really enjoyed it and liked that we got to see a little bit of the life of a neurosurgery resident. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Thank you! We are glad you enjoyed it. Good luck in the future at school and beyond.
DeAndre I don't know what you mean man, this video was uploaded June 6
Carilion Clinic Thank you :D
These people are absolute heros!
Dr. Marvin is really good teacher 😊👍🏻. Lucky u. 😊
My dads a neurosurgeon and I honestly don’t really know how he does it! Defiantly something to be proud of!
I see a lot of comments saying that they will not risk their lives for this. I’m a medicine student and I know how chaotic a doctor’s life can be. In my case, I chose to spend my life in my career maybe others will tell you that in their families or something that they love, but I think it’s matter of choice and what you feel is good for you.
Its really hard but its totally worth it
Every day is a new learning and adventure it's amazing
I have no idea what Grey's Anatomy is but all I know is that since I was young I was fascinated with the brain and now I want to push hard to become a Neurosurgeon. I know it won't be easy, but I know this is what I want and I'll give it my all.
I'm an accountant and i respect doctors
two DOs! I’m so excited!!!!!
A DO matching in to neurosurgery. Way to beat the odds Dr. Busch and Dr. Rogers!
I believe this is an AOA residency/DO Hospital. But yes, still stellar
@@bruceylee8670 It was ...not anymore.
I go through the comments and it should be said, this is not a career path you just choose. This is something you must be passionate about, thinking about every day even in your free time. The only way you can handle the pressure and time that is demanded of you is if you actually love doing this and you don't see it as a difficulty but as a challenge you can look back to. These people are expected to give 100 every day because you as a patient want to get the best treatment possible so just know if you feel like you would only give 98 or only 100 every other day, choose a new career path or learn to get to that level. In the end it's all in your mind and you can do anything you set your mind to but most people just don't. This is why med school is highly selective. These are the best of the best of the best.
Awesome they’re D.O.’s, great video!
They save others lives but forget about their own lives. It's beautiful, they are heroes in true sense of this world, but i wouldn't want to live that way. Without time for family, children, other passions, for enjoying life. We have only one life, one chance and i want to take it.
I think I'm going to go back to school to become an MD. Need a career change. Looks like a meaningful noble career.
These physicians are both DO's
J Knox doctor of osteopathic medicine
Thank you for what you do!!
Imagine the focus and drive you need on a daily basis to do this job. Insane
Beautiful profession.
Awesome team 👏👏👏👏❤
ok page doctor SHEPHERD!!
Derek of course
How the hell they manage to do all these and still in great shape!! Its just amazing
@USA that really isn't enough to get you in shape
Who else notice that guy surgeon, Dr Chris, was so diligent in doing hand hygiene religiously. Good job!!! The simplest and most basic act that protects cross infections between patients and as well the staff getting it too. Kudos to Dr Chris!!!👍👍👍👍❤❤❤
All surgeons have an insane amount of attention to detail.
Honestly! Studied 15 hrs+ in a day for almost 5-10 years than working 12+ hrs for lifetime. Man Doctors are true LEGEND ❤! Hats off ❤
Great work .
Once you have been to emergency for your loved ones, everything regarding hospitals, Ambulances and emergencies hit you at the different level.
I love seeing DO's in neurosurgery! As someone interested in DO I always see the association of DO's as only primary care physicians, so its nice to see some diversity
I was a bit shocked to see DOs in neurosurgery. great!
if u think ur smart enough to be a neurosurgeon then don't take the DO path
I’m shocked too. I guess everything is possible. But I’m sure the “easier” path would be to go MD. However , if you don’t have a choice don’t put your head down.
I think, per year, there are below 15 DO’s who match neuro.
@@brandon2222nodnarb Why do you think that is? What is the quality of the programs in which those 15 do match?
I'm thinking about dropping out of my current university and going to medical school to become a neurosurgeon in the future. This video gave me more courage, thanks.
Watching them live my dream life
Im So Amaze In A Neuro Surgeon Doctor
Omg they are DOs. I am very interested in DO school but I only see them as PCPs so it’s nice to see them in different specialties
amazing work!!!
I am 14 right now and have been reading and watching about neurosurgery especially in the brain and some times spine and for the first time its a career that truly inspirited me. I always love doing dissections and opening something up and I really enjoy this so much so if any neurosurgeon is reading this, any tips?
not a neurosurgeon, but in a bsc for neuroscience - read. read about everything, ask all your questions, and follow your curiosity. there's no reason you can't start learning about it today!
@@skewtzzDBD Thank you so much!
Everyone's very passionate about being doctor,but reality is very much different.Full of pressure,stress,failure,depression will destroy the world of fantasy built before entering into this profession.I'm studying Bachelor of medicine & surgery,and I'm still learning to control stress even after five years.
Thank you. :)
This was the best video about this career I have seen and it was really interesting. I want to pursue this career and this video really showed me how vigorous it can be. Really nice video.👍🏽
Thank you! We really appreciate it. Our neurosurgery team and residents work incredibly hard and we are glad we can spotlight them.
Carilion Clinic I would really like to be a neurosurgeon and I would like some information such as the best training programs and how many hours do they work and how many years is it to become a neurosurgeon. Any answer would be appreciated immensely. :)
@@Beemo42069 They work over 80 hours a week and 15 years to become one. Good luck
This is just a super watered down version of how hectic their work hours
Mr Nothing do you know of the internet?
Amazing Work
Being a doctor is definitely one of the most stressful thing.
It is and when you get home and think you can finally rest, nope, patients family or patients themselves call you.
At least you get paid. Here in Pakistan after 14 years of experience and loads of degrees , my salary is 450 USD / month.
@@WaqarAli-vn1zy You must be kidding😮
That's how you know neurosurgery is competitive when they have less than a handful of residents
Wow this is amazing
Man, I can't wait to be one of these. I'm only in my teens and it ain't going easy for me so far. I just want to help people and right now I'm having doubts in myself. DAMN grades
You can practice surgery on me
oh yeah yeah gladly
You have to quit RUclips, and mindless video games completely. Devote every ounce to time right now into souly academic. That's how they do it, They don't have friends period.
Alvin Geroy do they listen to lil pump at least?

Guys, next time you guys go to the hospital, be content for what you get bc these health heroes literally work thier brains out for you!
Doctors and nurses are a different breed
I’m just here because of Grey’s Anatomy lmao

Omg me too

I respect them!!
it's a beautiful day to save lives
6-7 years of residency after 4 years of undergrad and 4 years of med school. You have an option to do fellowship and thats another year after the 6th year. Once you start the journey, you better be for sure. Residences work around 60-80hrs a week making a tiny bit more than a nurse. It's a tough journey! I have a lot of respect for them. Sadly, most people dont come out of the program the same. It changes you was what im told.
Nobody should work 60-80 hours a week & especially not when caring for patients and are responsible for their lives: not good for patient safety (fatigue must cause loads of errors and harms/deaths) and unhealthy for medics; all medics (including trainees) must do a maximum of 40 hours a week.
@@jennyhughes4474 This has been the case for the last 100 year of medicine. Not enough doctors and the training is long and rigirous. We know the problem but there is no solution. Simply saying hire more isnt the answer. If its simple as that, it would have been done already. Being a physician comes with a lot of sacrafices.
@@hehehehfun4938 Just because it's been like that doesn't mean it should stay this way! In my experience doctors' training appears to stamp out their humanity & common sense: I was extremely shocked at how arrogant, nasty & stupid some docs/medics were in 2005 when they injured me very badly then lied, denied, covered-up and neglected all my terrible injuries - preferring to protect themselves. The training may not need to be as long - do it better & ensure medics really are safe to practice without supervision instead of ticking a box which says they are (or may be)! The errors & dangereous acts of omissioin which caused me to become so injured should all have been prevented by medics obeying laws, rules/regs already in place plus actually looking/seeing/hearing/believing the blatantly obvious but to which they were apparently blinkered.
Salute to the life saver.
Se requiere mucha disciplina y excelente condicion fisica y mental. Felicidades. Miy buen video.
won't have it any other way?
do a video about OBGYN residents. i'm exciting to watch how you could put it in a light way.
This is no doubt an interesting career and certainly one of the more meaningful and impactful things you can do in your life, saving others. But its incredibly stressful, hectic and pretty much takes over your life. I worked 2 years in one of the largest state hospitals in my country while I considered and prepared for the med school entrance exam and afterwards decided against it, even though the actual medicine and surgery aspect is very interesting. But the work-life balance (or lack of it...) is just depressing to me. Its not as pretty and nice as it seems in this video. Its a fantastic career, very very interesting and challenging but don't underestimate the sacrifice you have to make for it. Its no joke and many doctors I saw in my 2 years at the hospitals just constantly looked miserable, became chubby and several junior doctors that I personally talked to told me that I should be very careful when considering medicine as a career. One of them, a young anesthesiologist even told me not to pursue medicine and that he regrets it. Which sucks, cause there are so many people who would love to sacrifice a lot for this career, but it seems that often people don't inform themselves properly and start and finish med school and after a little while in residency and the "real world" of a hospital they realize that they cant see themselves doing this as an actual career for their whole lives, but by that point you have sacrificed years of your life in this...
Now Im studying physics and I love it :))
You just convinced me to own a Cinnabon shop
It really depends on the character and your reason why. If you know for yourself that you can handle stressful situations and you are a dedicated workaholic, bigger chance your career in the medical field will fit you as a person. Imagine if you want a lot of free time, and a flexible job and you’re really sensitive to change. But you still want to pursue a career in the medical field, it probably is the wrong choice. Everyone is different, and so we choose what fits us the best; based of OUR characteristics and personality traits. I’m glad you found your passion in physics, must be very interesting!
Neurosurgery is definitely not representative of medicine as a whole - not even close. It's by far the busiest and most life-consuming specialty out there. Get into something like dermatology, optho, radiology, etc. and you'll have no issue maintaining a healthy work-life balance. It entirely depends on who you are as a person and what specialty you decide to pursue
You feel that way because you don't have what it takes to be a doctor.

I just found this video an I love how this is my hometown that's the hospital I was born in 🥰😂
It is interesting that both residents have the degree of "DO" as opposed to MD, something we don't have in Canada. Its appealing that their additional holistic training could definitely help in the type of work they are involved in, and to their credit, like any specialized surgical skill, it takes a certain type of person to enter a career where the precision and knowledge are of the highest mandate.
I am preparing for medical entrance neet examination-2021 my dream is to become surgeon...Love from india..
That's why I want to become a doctor someday
Hope that I can be there someday!
Boy this is depressing
I really appreciate and respect what they do but I'm not going to sacrifice the only life that I have for a career
The pay is really good but the learning and work
Ethan King
Their money will collect dust in the bank until they retire
they don’t do this because of career and money. they dedicate their time for people in need! you say it like it was suffering but believe me, it’s amazing seeing people get better because of you, your time and dedication to your work.
The good thing is that Most people who do neurosurgery WANT to do nuro. Remember the money only comes in after 5 to 7 grueling years as a “resident” having nearly no life outside of medicine. My old roommate had to go through 6 interviews with one hospital to get a resident match lol
everyone is not built for the medical field.. especially when it comes to being a doctor... its a lot of hardwork... luckily those that have a passion for it (like my myself) aren't thinking like you.. They do it because they love it.
I felt that 1:43 sigh deep in my soul. They are struggling!
Exactly!
Every time I receive surgery I always tell a joke. My favorite is right when they give you the anesthesia go “anyone need anything while I’m out?”
I want to be a Neurosurgeon when I grow up yay yay
Wonderful
