| Anybody have a husband who is a Neurosurgeon and have you experienced the hours? |

If your DH matched neurosurgery, congrats. He must be incredibly talented.
These guys get a lot of attention from nurses, so keep an eye on the marriage. |
Wtf. The slutty nurse stereotype is old and insulting. |
But it’s true. |
It is not the nurses it is the time away from home just like any other job, when the job is not strictly nine to five. Of course can happen with those as well. Drs do not corner the market on affairs. OP I know a ton of doctors who have not strayed so ignore this post. The key is to be your own person as well. Have your own interests, definitely work. Keep your skills up. Hire help if you need t Particularly now when women are going to lose rights, and divorce laws changing make sure you know all your fiances and that you have your own identity. |
Not in my hospital. There have been affairs and sleeping around between nurses, aides, PT/hospitalists and hospitalists/hospitalists but for the most part, surgeons are left alone. Most OR staff want nothing to do with the surgeons because they know all their unappealing characteristics. Most floor staffing doesn't have a ton of dealing with the surgeons themselves as a lot is handled by PAs. And there are enough ahole surgeons that most nurses have an automatic distaste for them. My job in the hospital takes me around to all the units and I get to learn a TON of gossip, so I'm pretty certain in my post. |

Some of it will depends on what kind of neurosurgeon he chooses to be. We have an entire group that only does spinal surgery and not trauma related. They have office hours, surgery days and share on call with providers and PAs so it comes out to be a few days a month. And mostly they are answering the phone for medical questions and meds related to their in house post op patients. They may get a call from another hospitals transfer center but since they don't deal with trauma or brain injuries, they decline the patient. It's not a bad gig.
Now if he opts to work with the brain or trauma, his hours are likely to be more intense. |
At my hospital at least one surgeon has left his wife for a nurse (they both left the workplace after the affair). |
| So what exactly is your point here?! Are you going to tell a resident husband to choose another speciality? Or has your neurosurgeon boyfriend proposed and you’re seeing if DCUM can weigh in on if you love him enough to put a ring on it??? |
It’s not about the character of the nurses. Men are as faithful as their options, and.neurosurgery is the highest prestige and among the highest paid surgical specialties. |
What are those characteristics based on your observations? Just curious! |
One out of how many surgeons? This is a pretty good rate if you consider the ongoing cheating rate. |
| Most doctor spouses are RN's. |
| I married a neurosurgeon who had just finished med school when I married him. He makes a lot of money now but I was a FT working single parent for 15 years and his ego and perfectionism are something else. If you enjoy hearing someone talk almost exclusively about themselves and their needs in the little time you see them, while you do literally everything besides his job and yet are constantly made to feel like an inferior succubus who should be more grateful, go for it. |
Most doctors I know are married to other doctors. -Doctor |
