May 14, 2008 - Does Biology apply to this? ps: I know it's neuroscience surgery, but, I'm at a freshman level in college taking liberal arts, so I'd like to know just to get into this type of profession, since biology is one of my courses.

May 14, 2008 - OTEP1234567891011, you are so lucky! Being a neurosurgeon is my dream job! I am just so interested in the brain; graphic medical images have never phased me! I used to watch surgeries on humans and animals (blood included) when i was 7 years old and I was never scared of what I saw; I found it to be fascinating! I wish I could just skip high school and go straight to med. school... my cousin is currently attending med. school in Maine and I am so jealous:)
