Neurology is my first career choice but it is also my second, third, and fourth career choice. Neurology reflects my excitement and motivation to wake up every morning to encounter something new to learn. To me, life is like a boxing match. I challenge myself to do well every day. I may get hit in the face, but I keep moving forward and keep learning from every hit. Perseverance is my strongest quality, which has helped me survive in life and is the best quality I can offer to the Neurology field
supplementation. Such cases increased my interest in Neurology. My desire in Neurology was intensified after watching my uncle struggling with seizure episodes. I witnessed the hardships that the patients with neurological disease and disabilities had to go through. The desire to make a difference in their lives has motivated me to the field of neurology. So when I had to choose my specialty I had no doubt that I wanted to pursue a career in neurology. During my medical school rotations, I had the opportunity
better than the other, none can be compared to other as well. For me, neurology is a mystifying subject, it’s kind of magic. I joined medical school, not only for service to science of man, also to be a part of the swiftly changing technology and the thinking process. The treatment of choice today will be a historical topic of discussion tomorrow, and the thought we have today may be the treatment tomorrow. My interest for neurology grew since the first year of medical school. The anatomy of brain

Although, I never imagined myself in a doctoral position, but after a traumatic head injury I realized that I wanted to help people the way that I was helped and the mind was my ideal focus. With that being said, becoming a physician specializing in neurology is a long, arduous, expensive process that can only be accomplished with great dedication. Among the numerous components in the human body, the brain ranks superior due to its vital role in maintaining a suitable environment for life to continue
During my internship, I observed and assisted in various departments throughout NCMC; however, I spent the majority of my internship in the Neurology, Orthopedics and Sports Medicine departments. While interning at NCMC, a surgeon in the Neurology Department introduced me to CTE and Dr. Omalu’s research when he learned that I was an aspiring physician and athlete; he immediately started to mentor me. He allowed me to shadow him, as well as

His subspecialties are in headache medicine, sports neurology, traumatic brain injury, and general neurology. He joined the American Academy of neurology in 1986. He also testifies in legal cases involving brain trauma in sports and how migraines can impair a person’s daily life. The second neurologist that I found online
their calling resides in neurosurgery (“Neurological Surgeons” 506-507). After the strenuous schooling, neurosurgeons must also complete a one-year surgical internship. They must then complete a seven-year neurological residency program (“Careers in Neurology” n.p.). Neurosurgeons must complete thirty-two weeks of medical training, and they must complete seventy-two weeks of clinical training (“Neurosurgeon” n.p). New surgeons or extremely experienced surgeons who have been working for many years can
academic goal to become a game changing, world-renowned epileptologist. Many who know the field well would probably be asking themselves why someone as young as me would decide to dedicate their life to a field as little known and often difficult as neurology and neuroscience. Well, if I’m being completely honest with you, I myself have a neurological problem, known to the medical community as epilepsy, which causes

NEUROLOGIST SCIENTIFIC OCCUPATIONS Neurologist A neurologist is a medical doctor who is specialised in the treating and diagnosing of nervous system disorders. The nervous system is complex, consisting of the brain and spinal cord as well as the neural supply to the whole body including eyes, ears and skin. Neurologists generally have an in depth understanding of anatomy and physiology, as well as all the body systems. This is because diseases effecting the body could impair
When I was in third year of medical school, the knowledge that I obtained from neurology rotation helped me diagnose that my grandmother, with history of chronic liver disease, had the complication called decompensated cirrhosis and led to hepatic encephalopathy as she gradually had asterixis both of her hands along with declined cognitive function. Nevertheless, after bringing her to the hospital, her condition soon deteriorated to seizures, then she passed away as she went into coma. This was a
There are many legal aspects that go into declaring what is and what is not brain death. In today’s society, many people, including medical professionals, judges and attorneys struggle to identify what exactly constitutes as brain death. According to, Smith“ the concept of brain death came about during the 1950’s when, as a consequence of developments in critical care, clinicians were faced for the first time with the prospect of an apparently ‘alive’ patient sustained by mechanical ventilation long
I have dwindled what areas of studies that I like in the medical field in terms of personal preference and how it affects my life in the future. I specifically want to major in neurology, a flourishing and difficult field of study to get into. I do not know for sure if I would rather be a neurologist or neurosurgeon because being a neurosurgeon requires more years of medical experience since I would have to acquire knowledge on surgery
less detailed which meant that Dr. P did not have the keen visual capability as he once did. This quote is meaningful to me because when I read it, it stood out most to me. It is also meaningful because it talks about how the wall is an exhibit for neurology and not for entertainment or art which is saddening since it only proves the worsening condition of Dr. P. I feel sorrowful because just as how Dr. P loves to play the piano, but he cannot anymore, he cannot paint with such detail anymore either

The one instant I can pinpoint as the genesis of my interest in biomedical science was the winter of sixth grade, when I picked up a book on creativity and the brain. I found it fascinating, but what really struck me was that here was a several hundred page book that mostly talked about how little we knew about its topic. It made me think. This was supposed to be a book about how much we’ve learned, and what it’s saying is that the progress we’ve made is only in finding out how little we know.
Introduction to the Neurosurgeon Career A neurosurgeon is a physician who specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal or irregular neurological conditions of the human brain.
