The amount of money that neurosurgeons make per surgery is a fascinating statistic. The typical American neurosurgeon makes $25,000-$35,000 per procedure. They spend the majority of their time in the operating room where they are the surgeons and a mere 12% of their time on the wards where they are nurses.
The average neurosurgeon makes between $15,000 and $30,000 per procedure. What this means is that the average neurosurgeon spends around 15 percent of their time in the operating room, and 40 percent of their time on the wards. This means that neurosurgeons are extremely productive and very conscientious about what they do.
At least in the US, neurosurgeons are not paid a wage for their time. That would be the equivalent of a teacher in a school who spent less than 30 percent of their time on the job to make a school a more effective learning environment. In actuality, many people are not as conscientious about what they do as neurosurgeons.
I see this all the time. In many parts of the world, neurosurgeons are paid not a wage but a salary. In other words, they are paid to spend a few hours each working with patients and then leave the hospital. In the US, most of those people go to a hospital for several days and then leave to work in a hospital a few hours a week.
The only people who don’t work full time are neurosurgeons who are just on the clock. As neurosurgeons, we are a very small part of the general medical profession. As a result, we are not paid a salary but rather are paid a per-hour rate that we work for in the hospital. This is a direct result of the fact that many neurosurgeons do not work full time and are therefore not compensated for the hours they put in.
There are many reasons why a neurosurgeon would not work full time. In a lot of cases it is also for ethical reasons. For example, I have seen neurosurgeons work so much that they would find it impossible to leave the hospital. They have to work and work and work, and then go home and have to put together a plan to make it back to the hospital. I also see neurosurgeons staying in the hospital for so long that they are simply not able to leave.
There are some that choose to stay in the hospital, but these are the ones that would rather be a part of the hospital. For example, neurosurgeons need to learn a lot of new skills and techniques. They also need to work with other physicians, nurses, and surgical techs during the procedure. This can become a very dangerous situation, due to a neurosurgeon working with other medical professionals that he does not fully understand.
Neurosurgeons can make up to $110,000 per day, if they’re doing it right. The trick is to find the right one, one that does not just take the money but the entire experience and knowledge. I had a neurosurgeon who seemed to not only do the procedure, but more importantly, spend a lot of time with me. It was a great experience that I know I will not forget in the future.
Neurosurgeons are some of my favorite people, and I know many more who probably do better but for some reason, the idea of an “average neurosurgeon” scares me. When I think about the average neurosurgeon, I see a doctor who is smart, compassionate, and capable of doing a good job. These are things I admire, but the fact is most neurosurgeons are not as smart, skilled, and capable as they think they are.
Neurosurgeons don’t make as much money per surgery as most doctors, but they do make a lot of money on the side, and that doesn’t even count the thousands of dollars in income from their patients.
