Endovascular Neurosurgery
#1
What percentage of endovascular neurosurgery cases are elective vs emergency.  Is it possible to build a practice doing 100% elective endovascular cases.  I loathe spine, is it possible to do intracranial and endovascular and have enough cases for 2 days of OR in private practice.  I guess I can stand one or two MIS every 2 weeks...

There are a lot of elective endo cases, however the call is standard SAH/Stroke call and miserable.

FWIW, with this type of post I would not be surprised if you get flamed.  No one wants to take call, but the more people who don't means the more call for those who do.  I hate to be cliche, but if you did not want to take call in your practice, you should not have gone in to neurosurgery.

I'd look into derm.
