    Hello,
    I was just wondering if there were any Neurosurgeons out there that own any Ferraris.

    I find mostly plastic surgeons are the extreem sports car owners. And they park some of their "daily drivers" in the phycisians' deck for me to see walking through on a daily basis. Plastic surgeons are the ones w/ car to kill for.

    That's funny because I am planning on becoming either a neurosurgeon OR a plastic surgeon. I was hoping this post would help me on that decision. ;)

    Think about your average patient and what body part you will be operating on in each profession. Still need to make a decision?

    Uncle is a neurosurgeon. Owned a Dino a long time ago, and, very briefly, a Testarossa. (Also had an Alfa Romeo Montreal).

    Ha ha ha... Sound like smart advice.

    I recently needed a consult for an upper-neck disc problem (herniated c3-c4. I'm 32 and athletic. It sucks. Anyway, that's another story). The point is that I was sent to see Fred Simeone (the founder of that collection). When I called his office for an appointment, was told I'd missed him by about a week (he retired). :-( Would have loved the chance to chat with him about my achy neck and his awesome cars.

    The first two plastic surgeons that come to my mind, one drove a Suburban and the other a Land Cruiser.

    Of the two Plastic Surgeons that I know, one drives a Saab convertible. The other drives a Toyota Prius, after having driven a Mitsubishi 3000GT for the past decade or so.

    Do they get enough time off of work to at least enjoy them? :) I don't think I could ever do surgery. At least the residency looks horrible. Especially general surgery, right? ;)

    There's nothing really sexy though about looking at the inside of a woman's breast, the inside of her thighs, the inside of her nose. If you saw the crap my surgeon pulled out of my nose after my nose job you probably would vomit.

    Go into anesthesia. It's like being able to give women roofies legally.

    You're 16 years old & you're trying to decide whether to pursue a career in Neuro-Surgery or Plastic-Surgery?

    Uh'huh. . .

    It's probably a bit premature.

    On the basis of which have the “cooler” cars? :confused: Yes, I'd say it is. I'd like to think that physicians become physicians because they want to help others have healthy, happy lives. Hippocratic Oath and all. Stupid me...

    A couple years ago, I cold-called a neurosurgeon at UPenn that just finished his residency. Since it was his first month on the job, most of what we talked about was life in residency. He told me he sometimes worked 120 hours a week. That was before that law went into place limiting residents to 80 hours. That's absolutely insane. Why would anyone want to do that? The money is not worth it at all imo. I can't see myself working more than 60 hours a week for a job.

    I'm not doing it JUST for the car!!! The car is just a bonus. I've been interested in the human body for all my life and I've been FASCINATED with the brain since I was 7. Of course I like to help people. If I was just doing it for the car, I'd go into some other career; and EASIER one.

    It's been a life-long dream of mine to become a neurosurgeon.
