an aspect that people dont talk much about these videos is that, as a pacient, you go to an exam fully trusting that your doctor knows what they are talking about and what they are doing. with the videos you know somewhat what to expect from certain exam consultation and it lessens my anxiety to know where they are supposed to inspect and touch my body and why
@Leo I would advise being careful with that frame of mind. Your doctor will know more than you and there could be a legitimate reason for not doing the full range of tests. See Dr. Gills, ones where he uses the ishihara test, for an example of this. Of course, equally if you do feel your doctor isn't doing right by you, ask to see somebody else. Just don't shop around for the result you want.
it’s because you’re so used to automatically breathing that suddenly you go from autonomous breathing to being mindful of it you have erratic breaths. Similar to telling people to manually blink or saying to someone “You are now aware of where your tongue is sitting or where your toes are”
You are helping med students study, helping people become informed and more comfortable patients and helping people who find your videos relaxing rest and fall asleep. Thank you Dr Gill!
@@DrJamesGill I am here for the relaxation, but am learning a lot of new things! As a hypochondriac, I really appreciate medical professionals that take the time to explain what they are looking for.
Hey there James, I am one of your American viewers. I remember reading a comment you made some time ago about how you got into medicine just by finding the human body and its functions interesting, and I watched a video where you mentioned medicine doesn't require you to be exceptionally intelligent just that you have a good memory etc. And I have heard you mention being introverted, which I am also. Well I took that to heart and I started studying and my interest grew and so did my confidence, and long story short I became a paramedic. I was a truck driver which is very solitary, I thought I enjoyed it because I didn't feel overtly confident in my academic ability and my ability to deal with people but I was lying to myself. Not to downplay anything its all very serious, but you brought medicine down to earth and made it feel realistic and attainable for me. I still don't enjoy the classroom very much lol, but I do enjoy the action and the knowledge I do hold and helping people a great deal. Keep doing you James, much love
Your videos have been helping me to wind down for a good few years now. As a bonus, I also find myself spouting medical lingo in conversation that makes people think I'm smarter than I am 😂
Id like to comment on how patients with anxiety might have elevated heart rate/ blood pressure at the beginning of the exam. My dr usually takes mine twice, once Ive calmed down both are a lot more normal. Ive had anxiety since a young child but having an understanding doctor makes a difference.
Actually watch your videos for comfort and realised that I wish I could feel as safe in a real examination situation. Thank you for making these videos and hopefully many more to come!
I totally agree with what someone else said about the videos helping more than just med students, as someone with anxiety and sensory processing disorder I find these videos very helpful because they let me know what is supposed to happen but also help prepare me for any potential issues that might arise from the depth of touch to my body as a result of my SPD so I can warn doctors in advance of any involuntary reactions my body might have towards that. Another great video as always, thanks again!
I have always hated going to a hospital or a GP’s office. I have never had a particular reason, but it was almost a phobia. With these videos, I am less nervous about stuff like this.
I love watching your cardio videos. I have Tetralogy of Fallot since birth, I had OH surgery at the age of 3 at GOSH. I find it fascinating to watch because when these exams are being done to me I tend to be in a very anxious state so it's nice to actually watch one from this perspective. Thank you!
Your videos are great! Very informative. Is it possible to insert a small lavalier microphone into the earpiece of the stethoscope or use a digital stethoscope’s Bluetooth feature so we can actually hear the real-time sounds of the heart?
I hope you can get the lav mic to work, then you can include the heart, lung, bowel, blood pressure, and carotid pulse sounds in future physical exam demonstration videos. That would be awesome! 🩺
The pulse is how often the heart beats - and we can measure the rate, rhythm or character Blood pressure is the force exerted by the heart pumping the blood around the body compared the to force of the blood vessels pressing against the blood
If the cuff is too small then the BP will be artificially high, if the cuff is too big, then the BP will be artificially low We need to check the bladder of the cuff covers 80% 100% of the circumference of the arm
Ah! Because in some patients the first SOUND associated with blood pressure can be delayed, giving a falsely low blood pressure However in those people the first PULSE with blood pressure will NOT be delayed So by feeling first you get an accurate estimation of what you should hear
I kept trying to clean the annoying little hair off the centre of my phone screen until I realised it was a mark on the wall behind you. I'm some dope 🤣🤣🤣

This is an interesting point, and something I had not considered when we started filming.
I’m glad you’ve found them useful though
So true. Not only that, but these videos also help us know when a doctor is being lazy or trying to rush and not doing the full examination.

@elephant juice That makes sense. I'll keep that in mind. I'll ask before I make any assumptions and jump to conclusions.
Hi Jessica 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍💗💗💗💗😢😢😢
I find that the very second after a doctor says “just breathe normally” I no longer seem capable of breathing normally. 😂
🤣🤣 I used to find that after ice skating
Hi Jessica

Hi Jess:
@@DrJamesGill I'm just curious. You mentioned dots on his hand. Should I be concerned if a single dot has appeared on my hand in the last year?
You are helping med students study, helping people become informed and more comfortable patients and helping people who find your videos relaxing rest and fall asleep.
Thank you Dr Gill!
I really hope that is true. I went into medicine to help people, and I really hope this alternative approach to medicine helps propel too

This is a great story mate ❤
That is terrific! Welcome to the medical community as a colleague!
If there is anything we can do to help shout out 😊
I’m wondering if it would be appropriate to start chanting “One of us! One of us! One of us!” About now 🤔😂
@@DrJamesGill Haha it good to be part of the machine, thanks for the kind words Doctor take care of yourself
Great job mate. Levelling up is a tremendous achievement.
Your videos have been helping me to wind down for a good few years now. As a bonus, I also find myself spouting medical lingo in conversation that makes people think I'm smarter than I am 😂
Learning is learning 😊
I love that you describe and explain what you're checking, to help the patient understand why a certain test is necessary.

I have insomnia and your vids help me get some sleep while learning. I love it

hi
Why Dr. Gill doesn’t have at least 710k (5x142k) subs is completely beyond me. Mans needs his gold play button soon.
I have always hated going to a hospital or a GP’s office. I have never had a particular reason, but it was almost a phobia. With these videos, I am less nervous about stuff like this.
That’s a very positive thing to hear. If you have a problem, putting it off due to fear of the setting will often make things worse
@@DrJamesGill yeah, I had an event like that, where if I put it off I would have gone deaf due to a rather nasty ear infection.
I love watching your cardio videos. I have Tetralogy of Fallot since birth, I had OH surgery at the age of 3 at GOSH. I find it fascinating to watch because when these exams are being done to me I tend to be in a very anxious state so it's nice to actually watch one from this perspective. Thank you!
Wow that’s major surgery. I’m glad things are ok now
@DrJamesGill yeah it is. I have to have more surgery in the future. Another open heart surgery is on the cards for me when I'm older
1:39 they used a stunt double for the arm raise
Brilliant as ever Doctor, but what's happened to David?
Im excited i love these videos from a educational point and a satisfying experience !
I'm so glad!
Thank you so much doctor these vids are amazing ❤ these help so much
👍
Thank you James, just popping in here to say I enjoy your videos so much and I hope you're doing great 🙂 all the best for you and your channel ❤️
Thanks so much! It’s rewarding to see how these are helping people 😊
@@DrJamesGill and you're the best at it!
Your videos are great! Very informative. Is it possible to insert a small lavalier microphone into the earpiece of the stethoscope or use a digital stethoscope’s Bluetooth feature so we can actually hear the real-time sounds of the heart?
I honestly don’t know. I’ll have a play with the Lav - good idea!
I hope you can get the lav mic to work, then you can include the heart, lung, bowel, blood pressure, and carotid pulse sounds in future physical exam demonstration videos. That would be awesome! 🩺
Such a nice video quality there. Thank you Dr.
Glad you liked it!
So good to know I am not a freak 😂I used to look for ASMR when there was not even such a word existing😉Once again thanks for an informative video.
What type of stethoscope is this? Very beautiful
I’ve recently discovered these videos and I’m very impressed with the educational and ASMR qualities 📚 ✌️
👍
Dr Gill has a very calm and relaxing voice.
Oh so welcome! Dr. Gill is a true gem! Very informative and relaxing at the same time
Dr Gill,
What's the differences better Pulse and Blood Pressure?
And, how are they interconnected?
Thank you. ❤️
The pulse is how often the heart beats - and we can measure the rate, rhythm or character
Blood pressure is the force exerted by the heart pumping the blood around the body compared the to force of the blood vessels pressing against the blood
Us long time fans can tell Dr Gills mood by his choice of vest.
Really? I’m intrigued
Imagine your doctor playing this on a TV in the room watching and following along with it 😂
3:56 - "Woah, buy me dinner first." Lol😂
Thank you
Question: when checking the blood pressure, why you always "check the size"? Is it somekind of obesity check?
If the cuff is too small then the BP will be artificially high, if the cuff is too big, then the BP will be artificially low
We need to check the bladder of the cuff covers 80% 100% of the circumference of the arm
I wish my GP put this much effort into checking my cardio system. Just sends me for a blood test and charges $80.
Dr J says 'tong' which is a Manc sign. I wander where he is from?
Derbyshire
@@DrJamesGill ooh, half points. Greetings from Didsbury.
Hi Jessica 👨⚕️👨⚕️👨⚕️👨⚕️
dommage qu'il n'y est pas e sous titre en français !
A y difference in examining persons female, or if obese, or if they have palsy or topical jeröes?
Wait, what would the swealing near the feet means?
Maybe blood pooling from a weak heart not pumping forcefully enough?
@@stayforthepeelpronpls4774 ahh, that makes sense
Thanks for the vid!
No problem!
Hi Jessica 👨⚕️😢🥲😁😷😃😌😉🥰😙😙💅💅💅
Detroit in the building!!!
What is the reason for measuring BP with and without the stethoscope?
Ah! Because in some patients the first SOUND associated with blood pressure can be delayed, giving a falsely low blood pressure
However in those people the first PULSE with blood pressure will NOT be delayed
So by feeling first you get an accurate estimation of what you should hear
Interesting video 📷
