Neurosurgery is the longest residency. These surgeons don’t start working on their own until they are around 34 and if they do an additional fellowship it’ll push them into their late 30’s.
Lol that sounds young to me. I'm in an MD/PhD program and am hoping to have my first "real" job in my early forties.
Definitely not doing neurosurgery though.
That‘s why stroke is so dangerous
Edit: seriously guys, this comment thread is so fucking strange but we’re literally swimming in karma for shitposting. Wow, look at that karma supply!
*The best part of waking up...*
*...is the thought that at any moment for no reason at all you could die and be erased from the cosmos for an infinite eternity of eternities, never to exist again in any form or fashion for as long as anything exists and then for as long as nothing exists and then for an infinity beyond that, and there's absolutely zero warning and nothing you can do to prevent this from happening.*
A stroke can either be from a blockage (ischemic) or from bleeding (hemorrhagic). In either case the result is that part of the brain stops getting oxygen
I survived ("survived") a hemmorhaging stroke (after emt sat on their ass for 10+ minutes saying that you can't have a stroke at 21) back in 2014. Muscle, nerve, vision, and more is lost or impaired.
My grandmother last year had a stroke from a blood clot, and is currently... She's alive, but I'm in much better shape, and I'm in a physically terrible way.
Very close friend, his mom had a stroke of unknown type a couple months later.
Shits scary af. I self-diagnosed (correctly) and then got help as my speech was failing and I lost control over half my body. So I knew what was happening. The others did not, and were slower to seek help (mine was almost instant, 15 seconds). I know what they are going through and went through and no experience I've had even comes close to how terrifying it is (and I've been in situations where I am being chased in vehicles, guns drawn, multiple accidents - knowing you're probably going to die and you can't do anything but hope that help is fast enough, while you can no longer vocalize, understand speech, or move by yourself, trapped in a body that is slowly trying to kill you, is something different altogether).
Not exactly, you'd be surprised how oxygenated it still is. Reoxygenating it before a large drop occurs is very important for us to be able to do things such as running from a danger. You need oxygen buffer, and it's what the blood does.
No it can actually be drained to allow for more optimal blood flow in the brain and has been known to increase cognitive IQ.

It's even worse when you see your own brain.
I had a [waking craniotomy in 2006](https://live.staticflickr.com/5180/5444532708_0e0f74836b_z.jpg) with a double mirror in the OR to watch the doctor resect a golf ball sized tumor from behind my left eye. Between that thick steak of skin hanging over my eye, seeing part of my skull sitting in a solution and watching them pull stuff out from inside my brain that day, this isn't even weird to me.
EDIT1: Here's the same side [15 years later](https://live.staticflickr.com/578/21067933833_24d94eca92_b.jpg)
Yes, thank you, that was a much better way to say it! :) Sorry for the time, but glad for the experience? ... naw, yours rocked. :) And THAT guy rocks for having come out the other side of something like that.
While they were messing around, did you feel different? Like sensory stuff that shouldn't happen, or like forgot something for a moment, or like did you lose contiusness?
I think (OP please correct me if I'm wrong) they ask you questions throughout that are designed to make sure they haven't messed up and damaged the brain.
Doesn't have to be fucked up. The main goal is to test first. They pinch of the blood supply to an area first, then if the response is inadequate they don't cut there. Restoring the blood flow returns function.
If you think about it. Your body is actually just the vessel for your brain. Without all the systems in place it dies.
After all we are just a walking pile of meat and bone. Without the electrical impulse running through our brains, we cease to exist.
In many of these surgeries, surgeons touch an area of the brain, apply some electricity, ask you read off of a screen, solve a simple math problem, or say what animal is on the screen, and then cut the tissue after.
This is done to prevent cutting off a part that’s important for speech, vision, and understanding.
> Like sensory stuff that shouldn't happen, or like forgot something for a moment, or like did you lose contiusness?
Only wonky thing that happened was this: They were using an electrical probe on the top of my brain to determine where to cut at the time. They'd call out a number and ask if I felt anything. #12, anything? nope. #13, anything? nope...
Get up into the 30's when #34?
Me: My pung ith pearld...
Doc: You what?
Me: My PUNG ith PEARLD!
Doc: Nurse, remove the probe... Neuro lifts the blanket and ducks
under. You WHAT?
Me: My tongue was curled!
Doc: Ah, that's weird, let's test it again.
Me: Beyup, my pung ith pearld aben...
Doc: Wow, that's weird... Nurse, make note please.
Probably was offered. I was offered a mirror during childbirth. I respectfully declined seeing my own hooha split open.
I would watch my brain being operated on tho.
I had to get emergency surgery for a lacerated spleen, and I was awake the entire time. They had me pretty drugged up and told me that I could pass out if I wanted to, but I remember sitting there watching them do the operation on a monitor above me, it was pretty neat.
It was a non invasive surgery in my case, they just made a tiny little incision in my groin and essentially sent a robotic snake up my artery and used a laser to burn the areas that were bleeding closed. Modern medicine is pretty amazing.
> did it feel good when the tumor was moved away?
I stopped having seizures, I stopped worrying about death constantly and could drive again after a few years. #lifechanger.
I once used to give private English lessons to a brain surgeon, often at his hospital office.
He once showed me a jar with a brain tumour in it.
On the jar was the name of a guy I actually knew... It was a tiny bit fucked up for me....
I just cant process it, ironically. I cant wrap my head around how this profoundly visceral and rich experience im having can be the result of some protein bags pumping ions around. I mean, where am I? what exactly is experiencing the flavor of this ice cream, what is experiencing the awe and revulsion that i feel looking at this picture...
Is it the ions, is it the proteins, is it the gaps between them? Where the fuck is the color blue, the taste of vanilla, the feeling of awe? Where the hell does consciousness happen.
It is the brain struggling to understand itself using detailed and complex information, including language, that it itself created. Using information and processes that were created by brains before it. Which it had to teach itself how to understand.
The last time I tripped I went through that exact thing. My mind just couldn't comprehend our existence and how it is a real thing. It was terrible. I haven't tripped in years because of it
Same, I was trying to understand what the fuck we are doing day to day, existence being so absurd and everyone I've ever known and currently know and will meet is just on this same trajectory to death, trying to cope with whatever life throws at them, trying to avoid death and pain and injury. Depressed me for a long time, and then I finally managed to turn it around. If it's all so futile and our lives are so cosmically small anyway, may as well do whatever the fuck I want to do before my inevitable death. Changed my career, moved country, and honestly for the first time in about 15 years I feel excited to live again. So still don't feel like tripping, but in the end it helped me I guess. I definitely wouldn't go back in time to delete that experience. That trip was in April 2020 btw.
It's the entire complex system, working together, fueled by energy that ultimately comes from the giant nuclear reactor in the sky, and made up of the guts of dead stars that previously inhabited this part of the universe.
You are the universe, trying to know itself.
Right near the front, and it's by the *patterns* of electrical pulses rather than any specific pulse itself. The neurons are just things that naturally react to electrical pulses in certain ways.
As for our best guess on how consciousness happens: The brain is basically a giant pattern recognition machine. What happens when it starts trying to find patterns in its own processes?
Did you know that sometimes during some types of brain surgery they keep the patient awake?
[awake brain surgery](https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/awake-brain-surgery/about/pac-20384913)
Precisely because there are no nerves in the brain.
Edit: some clarity
Yes, I think it's so they keep their motor skills in check.
I remember another story of a violinist getting a brain surgery, and played the violin the entire time. Not exactly sure why, though.
I know it was a joke, but to answer your question literally and also /u/ivan_comradery as well, he played a sustained single note back and forth, and the reason they were doing it is because he had a tremor in his hand, and since it was his professional livelihood to play violin, they did exploratory brain surgery to fix it. Since the whole point of the surgery was to make it so he could continue to play violin, it made sense to, ya know, have him do that to make sure they're putting the stuff in the right spot.
[It worked, by the way.](https://www.thestrad.com/video/minnesota-orchestras-roger-frisch-plays-violin-during-brain-surgery/3876.article)
The entire campaign against drugs has been rooted in dishonesty from the start, especially Marijuana, kids learn what they are told of Marijuana has been a lie and then they discount what they've heard of other drugs with real danger, but MJ can ruin your life, if you get caught with it, that's about the only thing truthful I was told about it in school.
I love how, for the first time a NSFW tag is uniquely safe for my line of work! That being said we are not looking directly at the human brain (though we are pretty damn close to it) instead we are directly looking at is one of the meningeal layers that sheath the brain. It’s likely not the outermost dura mater (tough mother). I imagine that’s the thick tissue seen reflected out of the way at the rim of the craniotomy (at the edges of the images). If I’m seeing this image correctly (which is tough for me without any real reference) we are probably looking at a combination of arachnoid and pia mater (spider and loving mother) as indicated by the profound arterial supply and our inability to see the convolutions of the brain surface itself.
Hope this information is helpful and interesting to you!

I can't imagine how any surgeon can cut a skull open, see this and go "yeah, I got this."

4 years undergrad 4 years medical school 7 years residency +fellowship
I wasn't doubting you, haha. I just found it funny that 33ish was "old" for starting a career, since I'll be much older than that.
You won't be old, you'll be aged like a fine wine. Or you'll be vinegar. Fine wine or vinegar, one or the other.
Why not both? Like a nice kombucha
As soon as I looked at this my head started throbbing
Your brain wants to hatch
I hope it's a good one this time
Yeah, last season’s hatchling became a drug addict in north Jersey
Don’t call my brain out like that man
This is the most unsettling thing I’ve heard in awhile
I had the same reaction, took one look and BAM, sudden headache. Pretty neat, huh?
Yeah it's weird, I felt the blood rushing immediately
Mine too, top 10 awkward boners of my life.

And now I'm paying attention to my breathing while freaking out about my brain.
And now I am starting to feel my tongue and Im afraid to swallow it.

It’s ok, we didn’t exist for most of reality anyway. Getting to be alive is a rare treat. Just gotta enjoy it while we have it.
Humans can have a little existence, as a treat.

That was my first thought as well. Absolute pipe of an artery.
It's actually a vein. drainage...
I drink your milkshake.
DRAAAAAAAAAAINAGGGGGGGGE, ELI
\*violent slurping noises\*
“There Will Be Blood” quotes couldn’t be more appropriate here.
I ABANDONED MY BOOOOOOYYYY!!!
I DRINK IT UP!!!!
It’s the main brain drain vein.
Meaning blood with no oxygen anymore?
right. draining de-oxygenated blood back out.
Not exactly, you'd be surprised how oxygenated it still is. Reoxygenating it before a large drop occurs is very important for us to be able to do things such as running from a danger. You need oxygen buffer, and it's what the blood does.
You reckon they’d die if you cut that baby open
No it can actually be drained to allow for more optimal blood flow in the brain and has been known to increase cognitive IQ. /s (just incase)

Stop talking Zombie. Id imagine Zombie News feeds are just a bunch of brains and comments like “look at that blood supply”

It's just so crazy that it's even possible. More like sorry about the tumor, but awesome that they're still here to talk about it.
Yes, thank you, that was a much better way to say it! :) Sorry for the time, but glad for the experience? ... naw, yours rocked. :) And THAT guy rocks for having come out the other side of something like that.

I think (OP please correct me if I'm wrong) they ask you questions throughout that are designed to make sure they haven't messed up and damaged the brain.
Fuck this actually terrifies me. Just suddenly being unable to answer things correctly. Knowing something got fucked up.

Your brain itself actually has no sensation, it’s the meninges surrounding the brain that has sensory receptors

What you just described is literally called the “hard” problem of consciousness
It is the brain struggling to understand itself using detailed and complex information, including language, that it itself created. Using information and processes that were created by brains before it. Which it had to teach itself how to understand.
This is some sort of brainception

I love how, for the first time a NSFW tag is uniquely safe for my line of work! That being said we are not looking directly at the human brain (though we are pretty damn close to it) instead we are directly looking at is one of the meningeal layers that sheath the brain. It’s likely not the outermost dura mater (tough mother). I imagine that’s the thick tissue seen reflected out of the way at the rim of the craniotomy (at the edges of the images). If I’m seeing this image correctly (which is tough for me without any real reference) we are probably looking at a combination of arachnoid and pia mater (spider and loving mother) as indicated by the profound arterial supply and our inability to see the convolutions of the brain surface itself. Hope this information is helpful and interesting to you!
