Hi,

Well I guess they are because they get very good six figure salary and have a great job security although it's stressing but still they like their job cause they got into it knowing the stress it may carry. Neurosurgery is very much in demand and is a very great speciality in medical field.

I hope my answer helps.

All the best.

It will all depend upon the lifestyle and the office hours you put in the work. The number of opd days, OT days and the visit to the wards for rounds. It all affect the free time period for a doctor. In USA,you have to pay tax for the services thus it can be little less than what you make in india

Hello Aspirant

It will totally depend where are you working and what are you getting paid.

As US is anyways costly ,there lifestyle tends to change.Neurosurgeons in Us are paid according to their qualification as well as where they work

According to research

The average income for a neurosurgeon is $775,968

The middle range income is approx $704,170

the lowest paid are $350,000

And the top 10 % of the neurosurgeon get a pay of $1,229,881 per year!

So it totally depends upon your qualification and the place you work if you can have a comfortable life or not

Regards!

hello aspirant

United States has the best healthcare in the world and therefore not only Indian surgeons and and Indian doctors but all the doctors and surgeon in the united states have a very comfortable lie in terms of monetary aspects since the healthcare is not only the best but is expensive too.

There are a number of factors that determine a neurosurgeon's lifestyle. These include subspecialty, academic vs. private practice, practice location, availability of residents/PAs, call schedule etc. The same factors also affect your salary. In the end you can tailor your lifestyle to some extent based on what's important to you. It's also important to distinguish the lifestyle of a neurosurgery resident from a neurosurgeon. The former is a lot more difficult in terms of hours, sleep etc.

When a neurosurgeon is on duty, his/her day might be very hectic or simple. It all depends upon the commitments.

• OPD day - It is mandatory to take ward round in morning before going to OPD. It is done to know about current status of patients. Neurosurgical patients can deteriorate at any time. Daily rounds help in knowing change in consciousness and neurological status. After round, OPD begins. It includes patients of headache, seizures, backache and few patients of tumor/neurological malformations. Most patients need thorough examination. So seeing more than 50 patients in a day is quite hectic and damaging to brain.
• Ward round day - Every neurosurgeon takes grand round in ward once or twice a week. This round include examination of dressings, file check up, treatment evaluation, reading and discussion of MRI/CT. Usually this day is relatively light as compared to other days if all patients are okay.
• OT day - Again very hectic day. After round, most neurosurgeons do OT. Most of the neurosurgical procedures are very tiring and of long duration (4–10 hours). Every procedure requires extreme concentration and dine movements of fingers.

After finishing hospital, every neurosurgeon spends the day just like other persons, except light night calls and writing about articles.

Neurologists can work in hospitals or in private offices. Their average week is approximately 40 hours . If you go into this career and would like to maintain consistent hours , then opening up a private practice or working in a research or medical school may be better for you.

Hello Raja,

Neurosurgeons happen to be the most highest paid physicians (physician careers are the highest paid among all occupations). Neurosurgery attracts only the finest in the medical field and the job is very demanding in terms of time and handling of the cases resulting in scarcity of neurosurgeons.

The MGMA Physician Compensation Report states the average neurosurgeon income at $775,968 per annum. The median income is $704,170 per annum. The lowest paid neurosurgeon earns at least $350,000 annually while the top 10 percent make up to $1,229,881 a year.

Hope this helps you. We wish you the best for your future endeavours!
