original_response: Yea, imagine having to do four years of undergraduate education, four years of medical school, and seven years of residency. SO much investment!
history: Neurosurgery is a fascinating field dealing with the brain. Well, did you know that Neurosurgery isn't concerned with the brain only? It also deals with disorders which affect the spinal cord and other portions of the nervous system I didn't know that, I though it was exclusive to the brain. Why did you think that ? Was it because Neurosurgery is referred to as "brain surgery" often ? Exactly that, I want to go to medical school and become a neurosurgeon Depending on which country you will go get training to become a neurosurgeon, you will need at least 7 more years after graduating medical school That's so long! I could never bank on going to school for that long of a period!
