Rings : What neurosurgeons talk about during surgery

Last night, while I was operating on a patient, the nurses and residents were talking about this movie. I mentioned how I scared my mother, back during the original movie (English version), by hiding my mobile and calling the house phone that was in the den. I made sure to plan this in advance to scare her and some friends that had come to watch a bootleg DVD of the movie. I made sure to pre-dial the house number so that all I had to do was press the SEND button (this was during the flip-phone analog days). I kept the phone under my legs and pressed SEND just after they showed the video that the characters see in the movie, just before the phone rang onscreen. I had watched Ringo (the original Japanese movie) and The Ring with another friend a few days earlier, so I had it planned from then. Everyone, even the friend that I had watched the two movies with earlier, Who knew what I was going to do, screamed. We all laughed when I showed them my Motorola Startac. When we see any ads or sequels to The Ring, everyone always starts laughing, and tells other people what I did. My nurses, residents, interns and even the usually quiet anesthesiologists all started Making a commotion. They either started yelling that they would have killed me, or laughed, saying that it was funny. A few said that they plan on watching this when it comes out on DVD or OnDemand, and plan on doing the same thing.

So uh, how much do you get paid?

It depends on the amount and type of surgeries that I do. I have privileges at six different hospitals (3 in NYC, 2 upstate NY and 1 in London), but work through private practice that I share with colleagues. I'm not on a payroll from any hospital, instead I am free to move around to my various properties. I also volunteer my services at a free clinic on Tuesdays (my way of giving back). Solely as a neurosurgeon, I make between high 6 figures and low 7 figures. I have income from other places, so I actually have only been volunteering during the past 2.5 years (when my mother died I took a leave of absence, then my 11 1/2 year old daughter died last year from an acute pneumothorax, so I just started operating again).
