Medicine as a career offers immense personal fulfillment, variety, human interaction, and prestige at the expense of dealing with difficult outcomes and ranges of personal sacrifice -- neurosurgery as a specialty just takes all of these to their extremes. I value the former and find ways to discount the latter. So I am very happy. Though sane or not would be up to others.
