One book every doctor should read at least once.
Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl

It reshaped how I think about suffering, purpose, and resilience inside medicine and outside of it.

Here’s a clean, authoritative caption that fits your neurosurgeon brand and still feels practical 👇
My top 3 rules for people working on their feet all day as a neurosurgeon:
1️⃣ Invest in your shoes like you invest in your career
2️⃣ Protect your spine before it hurts
3️⃣ Recovery isn’t optional it’s part of the job

Your environment trains your nervous system.
Choose people who elevate it.

Nobody warns you about residency.
The exhaustion. The responsibility. The growth.

You don’t just learn medicine you become the doctor.

Neurosurgery residency will break you if you let it.

The hours are long.
The stakes are unforgiving.
The learning curve is vertical.

But that pressure is doing something important:
It’s turning repetition into instinct.
Stress into precision.
Fatigue into discipline.

You don’t survive neurosurgery by being gifted.
You survive by showing up when you’re exhausted, focused when it matters most, and committed when quitting would be easier.
