hi lev, I’m 16 and want to be a neurologist when I’m older, I obviously don’t want to bore you on asking for how to go about doing so. But I did want to see if you could tell me how hard it was to do the whole process and how hard is your job now, maybe on a scale of 1-10. Just based on how much free time and your work-schedule is.

@@NeuronToBrain I admire neurologists a great deal for the care of my dad after his stroke. The brain is the most fascinating organ of the body, and the specialty who treats it is the most fascinating specialty! :-)

@@giftsenpai neuroscience and neurology are different. neuroscience is the non-clinical study of the brain and nervous system, and if you got a masters/doctorate in neuroscience, you would be doing brain research. neurologists are medical doctors that specialize in the nervous system. you would be treating patients with neurological problems, and you can specialize in many areas of neurology such as behavior, memory, cognitive, etc.. if you wanted to do neurology, you would preferably get your bachelors degree (if you can find a school that offers a B.S. in neuroscience, do that) and then go straight into medical school. a bachelors will take 4 years after high school, medical school is another 4 years (and you have to do good on the MCAT, the medical school entrance exam), and then after that you will have to complete residency programs to become licensed, which is about another 4-6 years. (specialization in an area of neurology would take longer, but you would likely do that later). as an M.D. in neurology, you would be making at least 100,000 a year starting out, which can go up to well beyond 200,000 further down the line. if you wanted to get a post-grad degree in neuroscience, it would just be 6 years after high school to get your masters, and another 2 years if you wanted to get a doctorate. you won't make a lot of money as a neuroscientist (and jobs are hard to get) but the career is much less demanding. regardless of which route you take, neuroscience and neurology are both very difficult and require a lot of academic rigor. if you have at least a 3.5 GPA in high school (with honors and AP courses), you are in good standing. if not, you will have to seriously go hard in college. while working during college is certainly possible, you don't want to cripple yourself. although it may suck, you can pay back loans later. you cant change your GPA later, and that will really matter.
Sometimes you have to break things down further to build it back up because otherwise the problem is always anyone but thyself mentality is too damn strong.

My neurologist said "all neurologist have brain disorders. Especially the ones that say they don't." He had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but or maybe because of it, he was one of the best in the area.
I’ve laughed at all episodes …but this one made me laugh so hard my two kids stopped fighting long enough to ask me why was I laughing so much. A true testament to your humor, sir!
Had my first session (as a patient) with my neurologist last week. Her written report described me as ‘highly intellectual’ which is either the height of praise or the height of sarcasm. 😂
Maybe both? Might not have the highest opinion of everyone else so resigned herself to you being as good as it gets 🤷🏻♀️ (PS , I’m sure you’re a lovely person, and coming from a neurologist, it is still high praise 😁)
I'm glad the staff therapist is doing it smart, by doing all the same specialties in a large block of time he only has to worry about dealing with only a few types of personalities in a day
Having barely scraping by neuroscience in med school, thought about punching the brain and the spinal cord for its complex neurological pathways, and making me rethink my decision of being a neurologist, but this made me laugh. Thank you Doc!
@@MultiNerve honestly Dr. i dont know, so i had to look it up, but i guess the posterior dorsal columns of the spinal cord.. please correct me if im wrong,
You see, this is actually a trick question. The real answer is to punch their pancreas in order to incite lasting insufficiency leading to diabetes that manifests in symptoms like polyneuropathy (among others) which in turn may cause a sensory ataxia. Being Romberg positive tells you very little actually (which is why a more detailed description is far more useful) as some may already classify poor balance with open eyes ‘Romberg positive’ which it technically isn’t as that would just be an inexecutable Romberg test (and also probably a cerebellar problem). True Romberg positivity tells you that the cause of the symptoms is probably sensory (when there’s multidirectional instability) or possibly central/vestibular (if there is disbalance into a single direction), all with different areas to punch as the minimal requirement. Tl;dr Writing a sufficiently detailed examination report is always nice to have.
Well, actually in Germany, we neurologist, at least in hospitals, most of the time simply wear scrubs... That doesn't make us less narcissistic or compulsive though :P That said, I had a senior doctor once just like his neurologist character ;P (Said by a neurology resident during his mandatory (at least here in Germany) year in psychiatry with growing self awareness)
I have horrible migraines and some other neurological disorder that is still yet to be determined. On my journey to find treatment I have seen every single neurologist in 2 separate hospital groups as well as multiple neurologists at local medical colleges. And all I can say is: This depiction of neurologists is so painfully accurate! I'm loving this!
🤣🤣🤣 THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! When I initially was being evaluated for and diagnosed with RRMS I had the unicorn of neurologists: she made eye contact, was friendly, and never acted like there had to be much more interesting patients. Having spent a lot of time around neurologists growing up (my father had PPMS), I realized how special she was! Then my disease process changed and I needed to go on an infusion therapy, so I had to transfer care to the neuro who handled all that. I call him "The Little Prince". Everyone who knows him -- patients, staff, colleagues -- all say the same thing "He's brilliant, but ..." He's not mean (that I know of) like this neuro in the video, but he's definitely, um, something!
All neurologist's expressions give BIG BRAIN ENERGY vibes 🤣 I am pretty sure you've trained us enough to know who's the neurologist in a crowd of strangers just by looking for the conceited and contemptuous expression they carry 😂
This is hilarious! But I consider myself one of the lucky ones who got to work for a neurologist who happens to be one of the kindest, gentlest, laid back men I've ever known
OK, "real life walking homunculous" made me laugh. Homunculous happens to be the name of a band my college friends & I would go to local bars during undergrad to see perform. Hearing Psychology say that word brought back some great memories. So thank you for the happy nostalgia, and the laugh. My mood is now lifted in a way no SSRI could ever hope to achieve.
I literally moved out of state and joined the military to get away from a neurologist I was “dating” at the time. I was only nineteen and seemed like the best course of action waaaay back then 🤷🏽♀️🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 In retrospect, this skit illustrates only part of it, but pretty spot on. Love these so much for my daily dose of the giggles, thank-you Dr. G 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
To everyone who thinks this is a stereotype, this is a perfect replication. The only difference between this and our actual Neurology course director in Med School was that ours had more manic energy. He was (is) the chair of Neurology for the whole University and he mentions it every single time he introduces himself. He constantly calls Primary care doctors dumb and uneducated. He once told a pharmacy student working with us on a clinical rotation, “Your mother doesn’t love you and your brother is better than you” I have never seen such ego in all my medical education. Like dude, you aren’t special for understanding that Migraine auras can cause GI symptoms. You are not the only smart guy.

I think my law prof was a closet neurologist. He once said to our class - 3 weeks away from our finals - we were so stupid that if we were hooked up to an electroencephalogram we’d flatline.
I'm so perplexed that gaining insight on brain mechanics doesn't come with a package of self awareness to apply this knowledge in a productive way to yourself and others.
Back when I was 17 and had my first seizure, my neurologist asked me if I was faking it for attention... But, my second neurologist was easily the best doctor I've ever met!
This made my morning! Thank you. Neurology is my all time fav character of yours and this took the cake. The second he slid into frame with that face 🤓, I cracked up 😂😂😂😂.
If theres one thing a narcissist hates, its being told he’s normal and not any different from anyone else. Thats exactly what you did, great video dr.G!!
I know a neurologist who asked the faculty to only assign him interns with a GPA of minimum 3.70 to prevent him from going into depression. This is a true story.
Lol. I find it so interesting that your portrayal of the different specialities are so spot on. And it seems like many other agree across the world. Makes me wonder if we choose a certain field because of our own personality (disorder) or if we mold to what we see in other colleagues in that subspeciality?
I really wish my neurologist had a hair fro like the neuro here does, hilarious! But bless his heart for being able to help me with my headaches etc :D
Ugh I don't know the neurologists in my hospital are always so nice because they don't expect us to remember everything but they try to teach as much as they can.

Glauc, you have nailed it. Man, you got me at 0:30 itself. I was about to asphyxiate after hearing "he ordered an MRI to see if the student had a hippocampus". 😂
All I see in my head is the neurology face like “yeah, so?”
As a neurologist, I can attest this is very accurate
Whenever your hair starts to curl I know a neurology appearance is due, it's kinda cool how certain Characters are structured around your hair cut
Am I the only one who wants a dermatologist as well in this cinematic universe?
I absolutely adore all your characters, neuro being my favorite.
My neurologist said "all neurologist have brain disorders. Especially the ones that say they don't."
He had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, but or maybe because of it, he was one of the best in the area.
The therapist get another therapist at the end of the day and the neurologist starting to experience an existential crisis.
I’ve laughed at all episodes …but this one made me laugh so hard my two kids stopped fighting long enough to ask me why was I laughing so much. A true testament to your humor, sir!
Had my first session (as a patient) with my neurologist last week. Her written report described me as ‘highly intellectual’ which is either the height of praise or the height of sarcasm. 😂
,🤣
Maybe both? Might not have the highest opinion of everyone else so resigned herself to you being as good as it gets 🤷🏻♀️
(PS , I’m sure you’re a lovely person, and coming from a neurologist, it is still high praise 😁)
I'm glad the staff therapist is doing it smart, by doing all the same specialties in a large block of time he only has to worry about dealing with only a few types of personalities in a day
I have to say, with my experience with Neurologists while dealing with chronic migraine with stroke like auras, this is accurate.
Having barely scraping by neuroscience in med school, thought about punching the brain and the spinal cord for its complex neurological pathways, and making me rethink my decision of being a neurologist, but this made me laugh. Thank you Doc!
Which part of the spinal cord would you punch to give yourself a positive Romberg sign?
@@MultiNerve honestly Dr. i dont know, so i had to look it up, but i guess the posterior dorsal columns of the spinal cord.. please correct me if im wrong,
You see, this is actually a trick question.
The real answer is to punch their pancreas in order to incite lasting insufficiency leading to diabetes that manifests in symptoms like polyneuropathy (among others) which in turn may cause a sensory ataxia.
Being Romberg positive tells you very little actually (which is why a more detailed description is far more useful) as some may already classify poor balance with open eyes ‘Romberg positive’ which it technically isn’t as that would just be an inexecutable Romberg test (and also probably a cerebellar problem). True Romberg positivity tells you that the cause of the symptoms is probably sensory (when there’s multidirectional instability) or possibly central/vestibular (if there is disbalance into a single direction), all with different areas to punch as the minimal requirement.
Tl;dr Writing a sufficiently detailed examination report is always nice to have.
@@waterunderthebridge7950 dude thank uuuuuu i appreciate this
@@waterunderthebridge7950 see, I’m just an M2 so all I can give you is being more confused leaving the patient presentation than before it started
As a person aspiring to be a neurologist, I am honored
Neurosurgeons change low forms of animal life into high forms of plant life. Neurologists water the plants.
A walking homunculus 😂 omg that is a top tier neurologist burn
Neurology finally getting what he deserves XD
Hilarious! I now know for a fact that a fancy tie/bow tie is mandatory for neurologists all across the world!
Well, actually in Germany, we neurologist, at least in hospitals, most of the time simply wear scrubs...
That doesn't make us less narcissistic or compulsive though :P
That said, I had a senior doctor once just like his neurologist character ;P
(Said by a neurology resident during his mandatory (at least here in Germany) year in psychiatry with growing self awareness)
Note the bow tie had EEG waves and the other tie was a phi beta kappa honor society tie. Nice touches
I have horrible migraines and some other neurological disorder that is still yet to be determined. On my journey to find treatment I have seen every single neurologist in 2 separate hospital groups as well as multiple neurologists at local medical colleges. And all I can say is:
This depiction of neurologists is so painfully accurate! I'm loving this!
Smooth brain disorder -> lissencephaly.
Thank me later
Best one yet. With Neuro as my specialty, I love it when the neurologist gets a call down to earth lol 😂
As a nurse, all I can say is ‘Testify!’
Psych student here. Those put-downs are hilarious! This is a slice of perfection! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
🤣🤣🤣 THANK YOU SOOO MUCH! When I initially was being evaluated for and diagnosed with RRMS I had the unicorn of neurologists: she made eye contact, was friendly, and never acted like there had to be much more interesting patients. Having spent a lot of time around neurologists growing up (my father had PPMS), I realized how special she was! Then my disease process changed and I needed to go on an infusion therapy, so I had to transfer care to the neuro who handled all that. I call him "The Little Prince". Everyone who knows him -- patients, staff, colleagues -- all say the same thing "He's brilliant, but ..." He's not mean (that I know of) like this neuro in the video, but he's definitely, um, something!
All neurologist's expressions give BIG BRAIN ENERGY vibes 🤣
I am pretty sure you've trained us enough to know who's the neurologist in a crowd of strangers just by looking for the conceited and contemptuous expression they carry 😂
So true 😂
You have to be careful, you may have misidentified a neuro surgeon.
This neurosurgeon can’t wait for the Neurologist and the Neurosurgeon to meet 😂
I feel for the neurologist. He’s got some good points.
Licensed psychologist here. I found great joy in this video. Thank you for your content! Brightens my day after a stressful caseload of patients!
I'm a neurologist, and I approve of this depiction.
This guy kills me! I’m an RN in the emergency department and he nails so many of the consultants. Love it! 🤣
I like that you brought back the other neurologist and his bow tie.
This is hilarious! But I consider myself one of the lucky ones who got to work for a neurologist who happens to be one of the kindest, gentlest, laid back men I've ever known
OK, "real life walking homunculous" made me laugh. Homunculous happens to be the name of a band my college friends & I would go to local bars during undergrad to see perform. Hearing Psychology say that word brought back some great memories. So thank you for the happy nostalgia, and the laugh. My mood is now lifted in a way no SSRI could ever hope to achieve.
OMG, this is awesome! IRB submission, pubs, student getting useless MRI. Laughed out loud funny!! Good job. Bravo!!!!
Thank you Dr Glaucomflecken, now I feel better for being called to have a brain “smaller than a peanut”😂😂😂
The second neurologist's face breaks me every time 😂
I literally moved out of state and joined the military to get away from a neurologist I was “dating” at the time. I was only nineteen and seemed like the best course of action waaaay back then 🤷🏽♀️🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 In retrospect, this skit illustrates only part of it, but pretty spot on.
Love these so much for my daily dose of the giggles, thank-you Dr. G 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
To everyone who thinks this is a stereotype, this is a perfect replication. The only difference between this and our actual Neurology course director in Med School was that ours had more manic energy.
He was (is) the chair of Neurology for the whole University and he mentions it every single time he introduces himself. He constantly calls Primary care doctors dumb and uneducated. He once told a pharmacy student working with us on a clinical rotation, “Your mother doesn’t love you and your brother is better than you”
I have never seen such ego in all my medical education. Like dude, you aren’t special for understanding that Migraine auras can cause GI symptoms. You are not the only smart guy.
Oh my goodness... What an absurd thing to say to someone. It's so out of line I burst out laughing reading it but can't imagine what you guys go through dealing with him.
@@user-et2ng1qb2m Imagine hearing that if you are 24 and already have a fraught relationship with your mom. In my case it would probably have lead to some real psychological damage.
I hope enough students will file complaints to get him fired. Tenure can protect you, but it doesn't mean you can just do whatever you want.
I think my law prof was a closet neurologist. He once said to our class - 3 weeks away from our finals - we were so stupid that if we were hooked up to an electroencephalogram we’d flatline.
I'm so perplexed that gaining insight on brain mechanics doesn't come with a package of self awareness to apply this knowledge in a productive way to yourself and others.
That is odd behavior and seems to border on the pathologic.
A synapse that ran out of neurotransmitters is beautiful
Back when I was 17 and had my first seizure, my neurologist asked me if I was faking it for attention... But, my second neurologist was easily the best doctor I've ever met!
A real life walking homunculus killed me 😂😂
This made my morning! Thank you. Neurology is my all time fav character of yours and this took the cake. The second he slid into frame with that face 🤓, I cracked up 😂😂😂😂.
Oh my. We found one of the few people that can not only stick up to the neurologist, but also get a handle on him. Respect to the therapist.
If theres one thing a narcissist hates, its being told he’s normal and not any different from anyone else. Thats exactly what you did, great video dr.G!!
Neurology: we localized the lesion
Patient: great, so now what?
Neurology: …
Applying Neurology in the 2023 match and this made my day, as all your videos do!
I know a neurologist who asked the faculty to only assign him interns with a GPA of minimum 3.70 to prevent him from going into depression. This is a true story.
The neurologist face is literal gold, the only thing that can rival it is the Jonathan nod 😂😂
Lol. I find it so interesting that your portrayal of the different specialities are so spot on. And it seems like many other agree across the world. Makes me wonder if we choose a certain field because of our own personality (disorder) or if we mold to what we see in other colleagues in that subspeciality?
I really wish my neurologist had a hair fro like the neuro here does, hilarious! But bless his heart for being able to help me with my headaches etc :D
Having a doctor with a hair fro is always a plus.
Ugh I don't know the neurologists in my hospital are always so nice because they don't expect us to remember everything but they try to teach as much as they can.
"I may have crossed a line." That's as close to a mea culpa as you will ever get from someone with NPD.
Neurologist finally went to therapy!! 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely wanna get that EEG bowtie for my neurology friends!
I just realised, even our veterinary neurology professor seems to fit.
Patiently waiting for endocrinology.
[looks up from lab reports] What is that person doing in that room?
That's your patient...in an exam room...waiting for you to examine them.
[screams]
Come on, we're not that bad!
I myself try very hard to downlevel my diagnostics explanations for the semiologic-impaired.
😂😂😂😂😂
You have every single specialty down like I have never seen before! It’s absolutely amazing.
I love your Neuro character! The only thing worse is working with the MD/PhD Neuros.
Man, I would listen to any audiobook in his voice!!!
Please do pediatrics next, pretty please!! I’m a pediatrician in training and feel like all my feelings are valid whenever he makes an appearance 😂🤣🍭!
The neurology glasses and general demeanor always kill me.
The fact that I would feel complimented by neurology calling me a humunculous really speaks to his need for more therapy.
The EEG tracing in the bow tie . Hilarious detail😂
The unsung hero of this universe is psychology. Imagine having to keep up with all of these different people and obviously cares for each and approaches them in ways that work best for them. Always love the _____ goes to psychology series 😚
Except he’s not playing a psychologist, he’s playing a psychiatrist, who is a medical doctor unlike psychologists. Otherwise all of these skits with different specialties wouldn’t work.
Can't tell if sarcasm or not
@@yallamafez2428 oh my bad i mixed up phycology and psychiatry
@@fmleverynameistakenx lol tbh i meant it seriously 😅 sorry that it was unclear
@@laurahinze4035 no worries :D just found the mix up of psychologists and psychiatrists really funny, if intended or not. It's kind of a trope that they get confused for eachother
So you want to be a neurologist, you need a certain size requirement confirmed via MRI
Imagine the neurologists plotting against the psychiatrist after the therapy sessions but instead starting a civil war among themselves
My dad is a behavioral neurologist who specializes in Alzheimer’s and dementia patients and it’s not only nothing like this portrayal of a neurologist and none of the colleagues of his that I have met act like that either
I’ve had to isolate for a week and these interviews have given me life 😂🤣😂. Thanks doc!
" Smooth brain disorder" only in orthopedic surgeons ... rude and hilarious 😂 .. @ Dr.Glaucomflecken .. thanks for "Neurologist" . 😇
My first neurologist had those exact glasses. Can confirm
😁🤔😜 "... . A synapse that ran out of neurotransmitters. ..." ! 😉🤣 can i call my husband that the next time we have a "Discussion" ?!? 😜
