Nurologist

Neurological Surgeon A neurological surgeon is not only a brain surgeon, but also people who preform surgery on the spinal column. Neurological surgery is a very risky type of surgery because with one small mistake you could ruin a person’s entire life. Neurological surgery is usually preformed to cure diseases. Neurological surgery is so difficult that there are only about 3,000 neurosurgeons in the United States. Other reasons that brain surgery may be preformed include brain tumors, bleeding/blood clots from injuries, weakness in the blood vessels, abnormal blood vessels, damage to tissues that cover the brain, pockets of infection in the brain, severe nerve or facial pain, trauma to the skull and repair of skull fractures, and some forms of seizure disorders. In order to preform surgery to fix all of these issues that may occur a person must attend a four-year college, then go on to medical school. A neurosurgeon studies for a minimum of 14years before being legally qualified to do the job. Four years pre-med, followed by four years as a doctor of medicine, and six years of residency would be the easy way. Many people also get a 2-year master’s degree. The time that is spent training for this job is worth it because $304,699.00 is about how much you could make for this job.
