"Don't strangle the tissue." Very valuable advice. I'm glad I learned this early at my internship because novice tends to make it tight believing it to be more secure forgetting that blood has to reach that spot to heal. Without blood circulation, gangrene occurs. Good and very clear presentation.
Hey Doc, I'm not a doctor but watching your video I was able to suture the delicate leather on my headphones that had split apart like a slice in skin. I used your method to hold the pieces together so I could then super glue it together. It was great because the sutures held the leather together which was formed around styrofoam ear pieces. HA! I'm a head phone surgeon. Thanks Doc.
That was a lil bit dark. Just sitting here watching a vid on how to suture and then read the comments to find this 🤕 😐ooooooookay No offence or anything 🙂👍🏻
Surgery is an amazing vocation, it’s a scholarly academic achievement, a manual craft, and a beautiful art form. It blows away all stereotypes of separation between intellectual excellence, manual skills, and artistic creativity. Respect to all surgeons out there! You are simply an inspiration.
fr. Theyre the micromechanics of the human body- it takes so much precision and artistry because their medium is literally alive and mist be well cared for. Ive had many eye surgeries in the past and my surgeons did excellent jobs every time!
lol, I was also puzzled why this showed up in my recommended, but I like learning random skills so I clicked it. Worth it just for that technique of tying knots.
No one can really know what any deep learning algorithm is doing and what it's learned... This is why employing AI in society is so controversial, because you can't really figure out what drives the outcomes carried by the machine/algorithm.. So TH-cam is not really at fault here and there is no good way for them to bridge this knowledge gap..
I’m thinking about becoming a surgeon but I am not totally decided on what specialty. Could you please describe a little bit the pros and cons of vascular surgery and more or less what you do in the job? It would help me out. Thanks.
Watched this video about a year ago. Since then I’ve gone through multiple suture pads and have solidified my choice in going into orthopedic surgery. Thanks for getting me started!
I picked-up a learning to suture kit a few years back, but never really practiced. Been an RN for 34+ years, prior EMT and I find that I am interested in learning how to suture, and then I see you also have information about different medical problems as well. I do like how clearly you demonstrate suturing and explain it as well. Thank you for this upload. I have saved your other videos to watch as I progress. Never know when this skill could come in handy.
I appreciate this kind of information because people may someday find themselves in situations where knowledge and modern services arent available (catastrophic or maybe not even that serious) can help save a life. A doctor/nurse/medical pro isnt always nearby. Never hurts to learn something in a "someone might need that" scenario. So thank you for putting this kind of info out there!!
Thanks, Doc, very informative and you didn't make it sound like one of those boring lectures. I ordered one of the kits, always wanted to learn how to suture. I am the medical "dude" at my hunting camp, We are very far from a medical facility. Cheers
I read your comment as "Never thought that *_I love_* Lannister will teach me how to suture a wound" Because "jaime" is "I love" in French (Technically it is J'aime but still, the more you know 😁)
I'm not even a doctor and why am I watching this? Maybe just getting ready for the apocalypse when there will be zombies and I hurt myself but there's no doctor who can help me and I need to suture myself... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE KNOWLEDGE...
Ive been sewing since I was a little kid and you have literally taught me the easiest way to tie an ending knot I've ever seen. I don't know anybody who uses forceps to sew but god I am so gonna use forceps to sew.
the tip of dangling the needle and not hurting people surrounding me are really beneficial tips for me as a beginner I do thank you doctor.A fan from Egypt
Excellent, I come from wilderness medicine background, where evac by air is almost always the answer until it isn't and you have more than a week before getting to professional medical care. So I appreciate the clear and concise instruction.
I have a 30-string bowed psaltrey. Before seeing this video I used a long nose plier to hold the end of the new string taught while I turned the tuning peg with the tuning hammer. It can be an unstable situation, especially when the tuning pegs are tight. I bought one of what I think is a forceps, looks like a scissor with locking blades. Now I am able to let the new string hang over the side of my instrument and the weight of the medical instrument holds the string tight. This frees one hand, which I now can use to make certain that the new string doesn't get too close to the adjacent strings.
Been looking up too many videos on anatomy for this to show up in my recommendations. When TH-cam thinks you're studying medicine but your actually an artist :/
Thank you for your videos. My minor surgery professor is very difficult to understand and these videos make perfect sense to me. I appreciate this so much!!!!
I have no interest in the medical profession. However, having this kind of expert knowledge is handy to have in the information toolbox just in case the situation arises in a life or death situation in the middle of nowhere. Or even a SHTF situation.
Seeing it and doing it are 2 different things. The amount of practice you need to even do this in an emergency setting or a (SHTF) setting is a lot. Now get the practicing!
A couple of years ago I had a traffic accident and I broke my head. The doctor who wanted to patch me up didn't know how to suture properly(He was an intern I guess). Another one came along and fixed my head! I hope he knows how to suture by now or watched this video already!🤞
I've been meaning to get a suture kit like this for weeks to get the jump on my med student colleagues haha, the stars have aligned! This is quality content, cheers very much, from Scotland
2nd year here, is it worth practicing before we get to it as a class in 4th year? or do most people have no problem picking up the skill when they're first taught it?
Camping one time I cut the base of my thumb. I sewed it shut with a running whip stitch. Used a glovers needle and deer sinew cleaned with rum. I sew a lot of leather and when in nursing school and saw my first MD sew a cut I thought ‘those stitches won’t hold’ . Of course they do.... at least long enough 😊
I'm not in the medical field, and I've never received a suture, so I always thought that you would sorta wind the thread through like sewing cloth, didn't know each suture was its own knot. Very cool!
i'm the same as you.. fucking youtube reccomendations, right? wtf??! seriously.. the real mystery is, why the hell do we click on youtube recommendations???
pre-med student here; LOVE this video. super informative, great production value, high quality stuff. thank you so much for making this. new subscriber!
My six-year-old granddaughter asked for this kit for Christmas and is currently watching this video to learn how to suture. Hopefully, she becomes a cosmetic surgeon. Gotta make it through kindergarten first, though. 😂
These kind of knowledge will come handy in the coming times ahead.... Im very much interested in case the shtf and need to help family member. Im not a medical personnel but i think these will be essential skills in the near future....
I had cubital tunnel release surgery about a year ago. The surgeon stitched me up really odd. My incision looked like puckering lips that were sewn shut. I think the sutures were too tight as well. There was a peas size piece of skin that turned black. The surgeon said it was a scab but it left a pea size scab when it came off. A second opinion said it was dead skin as well. Wasn't very happy.
@@yoursleepparalysisdemon9969 I'm thinking you are right. I went to urgent Care because I was worried about the black part. They said they never saw any stitching on anyone like that before. They were pretty sure it was dead skin as well but they told me to check with my doc and said I wasn't in any danger since it was so small. I got a good laugh because the urgent Care doctors just looked so confused with how it was stitched up. I couldn't help but laugh. I wouldn't be laughing if the scar was on my face though. Lol
@@sonyog9399 A nurse came in and saw me then a doctor came in to do the exam. I've been there before and the doctor wrote scripts for me. It's a doctor to me. I don't know what to tell you.
This is great. Nobody really talks about "suture etiquette", like can you touch the needle, is it wrong for the needle to rest on the pt while tying, etc. I also didn't know the trick about holding the SKIN, not trying to pinch the needle out of the other side. Thank you so much for your series!
I went over the handlebars on my bike and opened my chin to the bone. My wife absolutely refused to stitch it up so I did it myself. Was very surprised at how much force it took to penetrate with the needle. It required six stitches and I was able to close it up very nicely, thank you very much.
My son bought me this kit for my birthday. It arrived today. BEST PRESENT EVER! Watched the wrong tutorial to begin with, so pleased to have found your series. I now know how to use the forceps, that palming is okay, and that I wasn't using enough knots. Dang this is fun. The days of keeping my family safe are over: I need victims.
@John Wayne the chances of being involved in a freak accident where you end up on prime conditions to carry out a successful suture are low... But never zero.
Dude! I owe you a beer! My Papa was a surgeon and when he was a country doctor in south Missouri in the 40's/50's I got to watch his suturing some of his customers and it was like poetry in motion, just as how you move so smoothly! Best of luck and thanks for the video.
Thank you so much for this video. So many suture videos don't discuss how to handle the instruments, this was so helpful. Looking forward to watching the rest of the series.
Thanx for the easy-to-understand directions! I just want to learn how to do some emergency procedures in case of an emergency with no professional assistance available... My Car Emergency kit has everything from superglue to sutures and a lot in between. Now I know the basics of suturing!
Buck, love your videos, another week to Halloween and hoping to be able to work with you , Herring mentioned it to you he said and wanted to hang out as well and teach me ! And know you are about to be at same hospital as me anyways ! With my opiate knowledge and your knowledge we could change everything and build on it making a difference !!!!!! He said you saw my tests and all scores from med school and was impressed !!! Be an honor to work with you !
Buck Parker, M.D. actually waiting on Herring getting back to me. Said July and that was months ago !! So hoping soon. Need to take care of GF and our kids. Lol He said you wanted to hang out and to come to salt lake for training eventually or to hang out. Let me know Buck. Be an honor to learn from you !! I want to do so much and make the difference. Together you are right we could do so much !!
Your 2nd suture was exactly how I was taught in the Navy as a Corpsman by a general surgeon. Always one bite to the other side and approximate the wound. Nice demo, yet when we practice we had to wear sterile gloves. Putting those on was more trickier than I thought as a beginner, maybe do video on that please.
Great video! I have just never been able to grasp/understand how to suture (even in the OR). Your explanations and camera angles actually, not exaggerating, allowed me to see it finally. I wish I could explain how big of a breakthrough this is, but I guess it wouldn’t have happened if I understood where the disconnect is/was for me in the first place!
Too many people in the comments make fun of the fact that there is a suture guide video on youtube. Of course we study this in university and we practice it nonstop so no, your surgeon did not learn how to suture from a guide on youtube. Still, as a veterinary student, such videos are very useful and I want to thank Dr. Parker for making this video.
I’m new to the Chanel hey, I love medical field it’s a blessing to learn here on you tube in this generation I humbly think We have it better than 3 generations ago grand parents because so much information is available today thank you Dr.
This was really informative and educational. Thank you so much!! I've always wanted to see someone elaborate and demonstrate it without making it so quick that I can't look at it properly. I should probably go back to this video when I actually can choose medicine when I get to university. What is wrong with me? I still have so many years till I actually know if I can get in but nevertheless, I'll still work hard. Thank you for making this really nice video!!!!
I'm not a doctor but I saw it on TH-cam I have been a medic for years and of course we never did sutures. I live in a very rural area and have a surgical kit so if one of my dogs gets cut I can stabilize it to transport. In today's world it may come in handy sometime in the future.. thanks for the info
Whoa! Im so proud! I basically lnew all this without knowing it! Lmao. Ive watched Vet shows all my life, so i was just testing how accurate my knawlage actually is. Its pretty spot on. :D
I'm still a little hazy on the knotting, but I've gotten handy with the mechanics of holding the instruments and the dexterity required. I'll have a look at your other vids and see what else I can learn. Great job!
Thank you Dr Buck! I worked with you years ago in Florida and now I'm in NP school and I was happy to see a familiar face while I'm home practicing my skills here. I appreciate your straight forward videos.
Seriously, how cool will it be on the river, miles/hours from first aid, and your kid bust his fanny on rock. Out comes a suture from the first aid kit. Calmly you re-assure your loved one, and take charge. Would it not be better to have had a chance to try it first? Love my kit
I too train people for knots and sutures, but we call the second suture cruciate/ x suture, not 8, and we were taught to always wrap the instrument around the thread, but I still loved the video
This is the content that I get attracted to when procrastination is on full mode.

Your 2nd suture was exactly how I was taught in the Navy as a Corpsman by a general surgeon. Always one bite to the other side and approximate the wound. Nice demo, yet when we practice we had to wear sterile gloves. Putting those on was more trickier than I thought as a beginner, maybe do video on that please.
Great video! I have just never been able to grasp/understand how to suture (even in the OR). Your explanations and camera angles actually, not exaggerating, allowed me to see it finally. I wish I could explain how big of a breakthrough this is, but I guess it wouldn’t have happened if I understood where the disconnect is/was for me in the first place!
More please.. I’m studying from this and I wanna learn.. I’m very serious about it.
Too many people in the comments make fun of the fact that there is a suture guide video on youtube.
Of course we study this in university and we practice it nonstop so no, your surgeon did not learn how to suture from a guide on youtube. Still, as a veterinary student, such videos are very useful and I want to thank Dr. Parker for making this video.
Woah backyard surgery: *suture self*
thank you so much! I just operated on a patient with the help of your video and as far as I know it went great!
I've got a feeling this will be a great serie! Thank you and I can't wait for the next episode! 😊
I’m 14 and I just got my first suture kit in this video really helped me!!!
I don’t know what suture even is but this was in my recommended
Stiches
I’m new to the Chanel hey, I love medical field it’s a blessing to learn here on you tube in this generation I humbly think We have it better than 3 generations ago grand parents because so much information is available today thank you Dr.
This was really informative and educational. Thank you so much!! I've always wanted to see someone elaborate and demonstrate it without making it so quick that I can't look at it properly. I should probably go back to this video when I actually can choose medicine when I get to university. What is wrong with me? I still have so many years till I actually know if I can get in but nevertheless, I'll still work hard. Thank you for making this really nice video!!!!
Did you get in?
I'm not a doctor but I saw it on TH-cam I have been a medic for years and of course we never did sutures. I live in a very rural area and have a surgical kit so if one of my dogs gets cut I can stabilize it to transport. In today's world it may come in handy sometime in the future.. thanks for the info
Me:doing an engineering course
Also me:watching this video at 3 am
Lol, I actually bought one of these and was looking up a video to assist and lo and behold, this guy is using the exact kit.
Whoa! Im so proud! I basically lnew all this without knowing it! Lmao. Ive watched Vet shows all my life, so i was just testing how accurate my knawlage actually is. Its pretty spot on. :D
U shud be a doc.. the world needs more
I'm still a little hazy on the knotting, but I've gotten handy with the mechanics of holding the instruments and the dexterity required. I'll have a look at your other vids and see what else I can learn. Great job!
this just reminded me of the sound of having my wound stitched together after having a cyst removed, it was utterly bizarre to hear!
Thank you Dr Buck! I worked with you years ago in Florida and now I'm in NP school and I was happy to see a familiar face while I'm home practicing my skills here. I appreciate your straight forward videos.
Omg! Awesomeee!! Hope u r doing well!
Seriously, how cool will it be on the river, miles/hours from first aid, and your kid bust his fanny on rock. Out comes a suture from the first aid kit. Calmly you re-assure your loved one, and take charge. Would it not be better to have had a chance to try it first? Love my kit
I’ve used a sowing needle and a fishhook to give myself stitches before and this looks way easier and less painful
Why is everyone critical of learning ? I think this is interesting and loving of learning!
i would definitely want him as a teacher. hes soo clear and is the only person who was helpful in any way. thank you i feel like a pro lol
cool, now time to practice on my brother
What have you done to him that he needs suturing? Haha
@@georgealderson4424 dwai lol
I am watching this as a medical student on my surgery rotation before a surgery incase they want me to close.
How did it go?
@@jerodewert8334 Didnt help, practice is the only way to success
"Quick and dirty": a phrase NO ONE wants to hear when receiving sutures from their doctor.
jackhappens 😂
Well if he were my Dr I'd tolerate it 😎
Much better: 'I saw this on TH-cam.'
Quick works for me lol!
@@drbuckparker How do you disinfect the needle,line,and cut?
I too train people for knots and sutures, but we call the second suture cruciate/ x suture, not 8, and we were taught to always wrap the instrument around the thread, but I still loved the video
Im not even a surgeon, it's 4:59 am, i have a calculus exam in a few hours, what am i doing with myself?
Did you pass that exam?
My teacher taught me suturing with care. This video made me travel back to time. Thanks!
Everybody high on YT recommend crysis and me gangsta be like "I was actually looking for that"
First time recommends nailed it for me though
Hey, Im 15 years old and my dream is to become a neurosurgeon, I got a suture kit for Christmas amd I learn from your videos thank you ❤️
Thank you very much, Doctor!
You really helped me to improve my technique!
God bless you!
