Any future doctors?

SICK, I got a couple questions. What are the hours for residents? (or does it differ), how long did it take you to put in your first line properly? and...... Did he have to become a basic surgeon and then deal with the neuro part, or what?

he said by law residentcy is 95 hours a week....umm as for dropping a line...to get hands on experience...he's on his 2nd half of his 2nd year...he has an awesome mentor who is showing him the ropes and let him assist on 4 brain surgery operations today...1st time he's done that...with the mentors guidence he tied a few knots in the brain or something...im not exactly sure...and he lets him talk with the patiencs family...pretty exciting stuff since, as for basic surgeon part...there is no such thing...after 4 years of med school, he becomes an intern at a hospital that does neuro stuff, and then does 4-5 years of residency on what he wants to do specifically......this is paid internship/residency of course...after med school, its a 75-80% chance u get an internship as a neuro....which may look good, but its far less than any other profession...its usually unheard of not to get an internship after med school.
 
When you are a resident, you will become very familiar with the term "36-hour shift". Residents are the bitches of the medical world. You have to put up with it though. Like I said you really have to like it. Sometimes you question exactly what you're getting into. I'm debating on getting a Phd in chemistry now. But I'd still love to be a surgeon though.
 
I'm a microbio major at csuchico, and maybe premed, so I dono yet, its a posibility, what I really want to do is get a boat with a heli and say I'm doing sciency stuff but really flying up to peaks and skiing down in the AK and NZ and shit
 
I would love to, but now that I'm in my 3rd year of a kines degree I don't think that I could make the grades to get in. Or have the motivation to make myself work hard and stay in school for that long. So instead, I'm looking at a 1yr athletic therapy certificate once I'm done my BKin, and after that a 2 yr masters physical therapy.

Then, the plan is to open up a physio practice in a ski town, where I will ski mornings and work afternoons. Sounds good yes?
