Is work as a neurosurgeon emotionally stressful?

It can be: We want all of our patients to do well, but that doesn't always happen, because they often hqve very bad diseases. We go to work every day, do the best work we know how, cherish victories and learn from defeats.

Yes: Due to severity of illnesses that neurosurgeon treats and the dramatic changes that can suddenly occur in a patient's life from trauma, stroke or cancer, if can be very stressful. Having said that, being a christian helps me personally.
