Hello!

Neurosurgery is a really popular profession. It is as important as the cardiology department. Being a neurosurgeon is tough and also dangerous yet a really  satisfactory profession to be in. But I admit that your social life and the time you get to spend with your family will be less once you choose this profession because you will have to deal with a lot of emergency cases but it's all worth it.

Afterall is there anything more happier than saving a life?!

Have a great day!

Hi Raja,

It depends that you are working in a educational institution or just doing private practice. In educational institutions the workload is less and you have to work around 9 - 10 hours a day and you get a holiday on Sunday and other decided days or festivals.

While during private practice, you may not get fixed holidays as you may be called anytime from the clinics and work time can also be more as you working for many of them. You may get leaves in the off season.

See, neurosurgeon is a very hard because irrespective of the institution you are working you may be called in weekends, late nights or in emergency cases. This is because you are doin a critical and life-saving job.

Feel free to ask doubts in the Comment Section.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!

Hi Raja,

When the number of earned leave is over, then the leave taken is considered as an unpaid leave. Yes, you will get unpaid leaves in Mumbai if you are a Neurologist. But please note that in emergency cases you may be called to hospital and your leave (whether it is paid or unpaid) can be cut.

Feel free to ask doubts in the Comment Section.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!

Yes of Course. Neurosurgeon are also human Beings. They also have emotions. They also have their family.But in my perception neurosurgeon lifestyle is mixed. There's a big upside .They usually have the comfort of knowing, or at least suspecting, that they are among the smartest people on the planet.those who manage the demands of their physical and emotional needs against the rigors of the career, will likely live quite fruitful lives.

Thanks And Have A Very Nice Day.Hope you understand this very Well and All the Best.
