Neurosurgeon
Duties and Responsibilities: Neurosurgeons perform surgery on the brain, spinal
cord and peripheral nerves to remove tumors, relieve chronic pain and treat
wounds, vascular disorders and diseases such as Parkinson's and epilepsy. They
also use surgery to relieve hydrocephalus, the abnormal build-up of
cerebrospinal fluid in the brain. Brain surgeons may focus on the correction of
deformities and treatment of diseases of the spinal cord such as degenerative
spine disorder and scoliosis.
Salary: $400,000-$700,000
Education: Medical degree, Neurosurgery Residency and
State Medical License Required.
Reflection: I would like to be a Neurosurgeon because
it is a very interesting job and it pays a whole lot of money.
