NEUROSURGICAL PILLS

  TASKS TO BE PERFORMED REQUIRE SKILLS:  WHICH ARE THE SKILLS OF THE NEUROSURGEON? In two previous posts we have already seen what the figure of the neurosurgeon consists of (in a very concise way) and what his tasks are. However, to be capable in carrying out his duties, as valid in every field and sector, the neurosurgeon must assume the SKILLS that are necessary precisely to be able to perform certain tasks. It is precisely these skills, assimilated with study, practice in the field, tutoring (commitment, perseverance and sacrifice) that make the doctor a neurosurgeon specialist. However, a young neurosurgeon at the beginning of his career may not be immediately clear about what these skills are and make the mistake of focusing only on one field (for example neuroanatomy), leaving out what are other fundamental and equally necessary aspects to be known and assimilated. In this regard, having clear what are the various "sectors" of competence of the neurosurgeon can be a go...

COMPITI DA SVOLGERE RICHIEDONO COMPETENZE: QUALI SONO LE COMPETENZE DEL NEUROCHIRURGO? In due post precedenti abbiamo già visto in cosa consiste la figura del neurochirurgo (in modo molto sintetico) e quali sono i suo compiti . Per essere però capace nello svolgimento delle proprie mansioni, come valido in ogni campo e settore, il neurochirurgo deve assumere delle COMPETENZE che sono necessarie appunto per essere in grado di svolgere determinate mansioni. Sono proprio queste competenze, assimilate con lo studio, la pratica sul campo, il tutoraggio (impegno, costanza e sacrificio) che fanno del medico uno specialista neurochirurgo. Un giovane neurochirurgo ad inizio carriera può però non avere subito chiare quali sono queste competenze e fare l'errore di focalizzarsi solamente su di un campo (esempio la neuroanatomia) tralasciando quelli che sono altri aspetti fondamentali e parimenti necessari da conoscere ed assimilare.  A tal proposito, avere chiari quelli che sono i vari "...

MANOVAL SURGEON? BUTCHER? THE DUTIES OF THE NEUROSURGER In the previous post we have better described the figure of the neurosurgeon. However, I decided to write this post especially for those young colleagues that want to get closer to the world of neurosurgery.  In fact, a mistake that can be made by some of them, it is to believe that being a neurosurgeon only means operating, operating, operating as an assembly line because it is absolutely not like that!  In learning this profession (which I am still learning) I gradually realized that the operating room is only one of the components of the daily work of a neurosurgery. Even in the complex picture of daily work, the operating room can even be in the last place (especially during the first years of training), not least but because it represents almost the last step in a patient management process that begins much earlier. , from the first visit to the clinic. In a nutshell, what should a neurosurgery do at work...

BEING A NEUROSURGEON ...LET'S BE CLEAR ...  FOREWORD !: this post will be deliberately "simplistic" for informational purposes. MOREOVER: FOR PRACTICAL REASONS THIS POST HAS BEEN TRANSLATED FROM ITALIAN BY GOOGLE TRANSLATE. SORRY FOR EVENTUAL MISTAKES Being a neurosurgeon is a complex job to the point that its role is not completely clear to the layman and they confuse this with the neurologist or even with the psychiatrist! Let's understand each other. Quite simply, the neurosurgeon is a SURGEON and therefore, as such, OPERA. This is not a detail because, once this has been clarified, we understand that most neurological pathologies (which therefore affect the nervous system) are NOT "TO BE OPERATED" and are NOT the responsibility of the neurosurgeon (but of the neurologist or psychiatrist). NOTE: this gives rise to another very important concept. The main task of the neurosurgeon is above all (though not only) to tell a patient with a problem whether or no...
