6 years ago, i guess on 1st of December i was admitted to hospital for the same disease... When doctor saw my x-ray he said "one week more without treatment and u are dead"... They inserted a tube in my lungs, i saw a green colour liquid coming from it. But as i was too late, they said liquid has hardened so they need to perform surgery instantly. Thankfully I've got time...
Jesus christ that must've been terrifying to know you were just 1 week away from death. My mum's had pneumonia twice before too and thankfully was lucky enough like you to get out alive.
Bruh same i just got out of the hospital a month ago . I was admitted in tbe hospital for antibiotic treatment but after a week i had my xray it showed that my right lung is just white which means it is full of fluid. They did the ctt on me and they got most of the fluid that's in there. It's like jello . The fluid left cant be drained by the tube so they had to cut me open. Im recovering from surgery but i still get easily tired.
@@ianharv1 glad you are out of danger now. You'll be fit nd fine very soon and will be normal like before. And congratulation! U got a new life now...💫
Laying in an Australian hospital bed & hooked up to oxygen to treat my pneumonia that I seemingly came down with over night, and your video has provided me with more info on how this has happened than any of the doctors/nurses/medical staff here have managed to explain. Non smoker, I don’t drink, I didn’t have any known infection before the pneumonia. Literally woke up with it and went downhill from there, which then lead to sepsis. No doctor has been able to adequately explain what the hell happened to me - I had to find that info here. Thank you!
I’m from Mackay 2 nights ago I thought it was from cleaning black mold. Severe asthma and lobar pneumonia ended up going yellow in the waiting room I just couldn’t breathe
It's left because it has 2 lobes. The right has 3. I've never taken an anatomy course in my life.. not even a biology course in high school. I just found your channel a couple days ago and watched 3 of your videos so far. I really enjoy them and I learn so much. Thank you!!
I’m 30 yrs old, just got diagnosed with pneumonia after struggling with some other illness, and this is just the video I needed to see. I’m ultimately in good health, I couldn’t wrap my mind around how I came down with this, but you made it make sense. Thanks for being super thorough !
My mom was hospitalized with this for a few weeks and got out almost a month ago, she would’ve died if my dad didn’t take her to the hospital She’s currently recovering now and is doing well :)
I've had pneumonia many times, my health kind of sucks and I always get sick (first year in my life I haven't been sick at all, because of the coronavirus). I never realised how dangerous it might be, because my mother always notices the changes in the sound of my coughs. It's nice to know what is happening in me when I have those. Thanks.
Lobes of the lung aren't a specific size, and the heart doesn't take that much more space on the left than it does on the right. It's pretty much smack in the center of the chest. The whole idea that the left lung has one less fissure as a result of the heart being ever so slightly pointed towards the left is very silly if you ask me.
@@davidonfim2381 Well, IT is still everywhere reached like that. The left lung has a small indentation where the middle lobe would be in the right one. The capacity of the left lung however isn't that much smaller, it only has this structural difference. Since all twin organs in out body are mostly structurally similar, through laws of evolution we came to the conclusion that the non existent middle lobe of the left lung might be a result of less heart complications. This would give a human a selective advantage.
I’m not a Med student but a massage therapist, I’d definitely like to see sciatica video. Or frozen shoulder, the shoulder girdle is a very interesting area that people hold a lot of tension. But I definitely love the videos!!!
I currently have frozen shoulder. It is awful. It had suddenly gotten way better in November for a couple weeks, after a slow start, then I woke up one morning, back at square 1 and little has changed since then. Had 1 steroid injection in early October....guess I may need another. Still waiting for physio appointment. Everything is super slow and backed up because of covid....
This is interesting to me bc I had pneumonia as a child and was hospitalized, never really understood what happened to me until now. I kinda see my body as a badass now to have dealt with that when I was so small. Thank you for the video!
I had it at six! I remember not being able to walk at one point and had to stay in the hospital for months, only recently looked through my hospital records and found out it was pneumonia
I also had it at age 6. Hospitalised for a week. I understood what it meant, so somebody must've explained it to me. I knew I had fluid in my lungs, but I don't know what caused it. I don't remember what occurred prior to the hospital. I remember the oxygen tent over my bed and the little girl in the next bed. There were two, actually. One left after a couple days and a new girl was brought in. Several years later, her dad became a teacher at my school and he remembered me right away! Anywho, my question now is what my lungs look like and how they function at this point. I had never considered the after effects until I had a minor up in November and was asked if I had ever had pneumonia (or other lung issues) and when I said I had it so young, she asked if I have any lasting damage. I said no, because I have never been told I might or diagnosed with anything, but in the weeks since, I've begun to wonder. Is pneumonia the reason I cannot take a deep breath on a cold day? Is it the reason, when I get out of breath from exertion, that my lungs feel like they're on fire, trying to inhale enough, even at my healthiest? I don't have asthma. I have since looked up pneumonia in children and the rate of long term issues, and for those who were required hospitalization, it is pretty dang high. The trouble is that these studies are for under 5s. Is there really such a huge difference between 5 and 6, though?
Thank you. I've been having serious asthma problems that has hospitalized me twice in the last 1 1/2-2yrs. In Dec 2019 for pneumonia and I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Hopefully when my insurance finally kicks in I can be fully treated for my breathing problems. I liked how you presented and explained your information. Great job. :)
This is one of the best sites on TH-cam, where have you been all these yrs. This man does a excellent job explaining everything, the other man too. I just love everything they talk about concerning the Human body. Now, I better understand why a relative died from pneumonia (due to aspiration fr. feeding tube) 8 yrs. ago this video explained it very well. Jonathan, I love the way you explain everything that's a true talent.
I've had double Pneumonia about 3 years ago. I was in the hospital for 9 days. I was in a bad way. Respect to our NHS here in the Northern Ireland. UK. ☘🇬🇧💙😇🙏🏻 they done a great job. 🙏🏻💙
Mycobacterium bovis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis and most commonly known Clostridium tetani. These are just few examples so please get your knowledge straight before going around and spreading false information.
My Grandpa died from acute pneumonia last February so this video had a special touch for me. It's amazing to see what might have been happening with his lungs at that time
@@Ana-mp6my I will try best to be stronger and heal the pain that i feel now coz he's very young to suffer those pains, i hope he's happy where he is now and forever he will always in our hearts.

my father passed away because of pneumonia , I found your video really helpful understanding how such a serious infection can cost lives of your loved ones , I still remember every moment till his last breath right underneath my eyes, what killed me the most was the non-caring medical staff that let him die without doing anything to help him even if there was time to put him under O2, and the really bad health care system here in Morocco, anyway thank you a lot for this video .
Thank you for being so clear. My husband is at end stage COPD and for the last 2 years has been declining. I have struggled to understand the difference between bronchitis, pneumonia, and "chest infections". I'm off to hunt down your bronchitis video now.
I had pneumonia February of 2019. I was sick for about 2 weeks.. I have never felt so terrible before in my life. I couldn't keep ANYTHING down, so I developed a food phobia for a couple of days after I started feeling better. All I could eat was raspberry sorbet for those couple or few days.
Almost died from pneumonia caused by swine flu yrs back!!! Was a healthy 18 yr old single mother when I got it. Went shopping earlier in the day for an early (19th) bday present with my mother. Came home and took a nap because I was feeling fatigued and woke up not being able to breathe. Was in ICU, out of it, with life support next to my bed for a couple days..... within 12 hrs of taking a nap. No doctor or nurse thought I was going to make it. I still remember the day I came to in ICU and nurses and doctors were RUSHING to my bedside. It took almost a year to figure out what it was because it was such an early case. Happened at the end of 2008 but Swine flu wasnt considered a pandemic until 2009. Stayed in the hospital for a month. As soon as I got out of ICU they put me in the ward with heart patients because the infection had taken such a toll on my heart, i had to wear a heart monitor the rest of my stay. Will never forget getting all those blood thinner shots in my stomach until i had enough strength to start walking again. Viruses SUCK sometimes.
@@Bulltardwin i am 25 and just contracted pneumonia a couple of days ago and oh my goodness this is the worst pain i have ever personally gone through and i've got a healthy imune system too. everything youre saying is true and people shouldnt take this sickness lightly even if they're young, it WILL hurt.
Thanks! Learned a lot. Just recovered from pneumonia and wanted to know the ins and outs of it. Thank you again for your great work. Very informative and yet easy to grasp.
My wife had asthma, and unfortunately, she smoked. She contracted bronchitis, then it turned into pneumonia. They put her on aa ventilator, then put her out somehow, then they took a biopsy of her lungs. She passed away in hospital 27 November 2014. They said the cause of death was COPD, pneumonia, and sepsis. We were married 18 years 39 days. She was my Uber-BFF, my soulmate, the mother of my children. I miss her. JA
12 years ago, Rhode Island Hospital let me sit in their waiting room for 8 hours with pneumonia, bleeding from the throat due to coughing. Sat there for 8 hours until I gave up seeing a doctor and went home. Lungs were damaged and now I weeze when on my back making sleeping impossible for the rest of my life. THANK YOU RHODE ISLAND HOSPITAL!
Once I had a burning ‘’lump’’ in my chest for a couple of weeks. I can’t remember the rest, but at the end I coughed up a porcelain white object, that looked like cauliflower. I suspect it was white blood cells encasing whatever caused me soooo much discomfort. It looked like cauliflower because it was jello moulded from the sacks etc. it was like a snowflake and ‘’melted’’ away to a shapeless blob. The relief was instant. A miracle of nature. Didn’t have a cellphone camera back then. I suspect it was bronchial but ‘’caulifloweresque’’ seems the most apt description.
This is my 3rd time with pneumonia so interesting to understand my body truly isn’t secreting or creating anything to fight off infections. Nice job body
Flower G Yeah my body lets me down a lot too. Hey it says a lot that you beat it three times. I had a minor case once and think a serious case would be unbearable.
You two are just great!!! I practiced massage therapy for 26 years and from the very beginning anatomy and physiology has been my passion! Learning from you two is simple, entertaining, and effective!!! You simply are THE BEST! Thank you with my whole self💫 How about a video about IPF?
My dad passed away because of pneumocystis pneumonia. He was on cyclosporine so he could received the hemoglobin he needed because his kidneys weren’t working. I’ve always been interested in learning more about pneumonia since then.
This is my first video from this channel, but I already love it! The visual aids are great, and the information is well-explained and presented. Thank you for these videos!
When a bacterium that is part of the normal microbiome of the lung becomes invasive and causes a lung infection, that is called an *opportunistic* infection. The bacteria of the microbiome are normally held in check by the immune system *and* the mechanical barrier formed by the endothelial cells which line the respiratory tract. When an organism of the microbiome exploits a weakness in one of those defense system, it is exploiting an opportunity, hence the name “opportunistic infection.” In addition to bacteria, viruses (e.g. influenza, RSV, SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, etc) and fungi (e.g. Coccidiomycosis, Histoplasmosis) can also cause pneumonia. When viruses attack the respiratory tract, they damage the endothelial cells that line the respiratory tract and thereby create an opportunity for other pathogens (bacteria or fungi) to breach the defense and cause a secondary pneumonia. This is another example of an opportunistic infection. Antibiotics are useful drugs to treat *bacterial* infections. Anti-fungal drugs also exist to treat *fungal* infections. But there are (as yet) no drugs that reliably work against respiratory tract viruses. At this time, only a functioning immune system can clear a viral respiratory tract infection. But patients with viral pneumonias are sometimes given antibiotics which do not work on viruses. Why? Because a secondary bacterial pneumonia might be occurring. The virus creates an opportunity for the bacteria which has to be treated. Patients with secondary bacterial pneumonias are often very sick and often require hospitalization.
Thank you for posting content about the respiratory system. I'm a Respiratory Therapist, I've been doing this for 10 years, and I still enjoy watching content like this. I would like to see more on the internet, but thank you for taking the time. I appreciate it. Good luck guys!
I developed pneumonia 7 years ago after a personal loss within three days of the first symptoms my right lung shut down completely and was non functioning. Absolutely terrifying . I had both a bacterial infection and a viral pneumonia which was why it was so bad. I coughed blood for around three or four months after and six months after the hospitalization I developed a blood clot in the exact same spot so it was a pretty rough year. Thankfully I got through it . I’m 37 now and even though I’ll be on meds for the rest of my life it could have been so much worse and i know how lucky I am to be here.
i had pneumonia in my left lung about 11 years ago, so bad, that i ended up with loculated fluid that had to be surgically removed. my left shoulder was cut open, the fluid broken up, and the subsequent protective "rind" (like an orange - and about as thick) removed. took 5 months to get over. i've also had 3X bypass, but the lung surgery was far worse.
I got it from a mold infestation that we had in an apartment back in 2001. It wasn't the first time I'd had it as I'm asthmatic and prone to lung diseases. But that definitely the worst. I had fluid in AND around my lungs. The fluid build up was so bad that they didn't have a choice but to drain it surgically. And because of how much there was, they couldn't put me fully under for fear of my lungs collapsing. They had to take a tube and suction on both sides of my chest. They numbed me up but I could still feel the tube going between my ribs and into my chest cavity. They to use 2 tube on each side for the fluid. They also did a double lung biopsy once the fluid was out. I felt much of that too. Lidocaine works GREAT for.many things. Even this because I didn't feel the blade of the scalpel. But I felt everything else. And once the lidocaine wore off anything even if someone merely THOUGHT of touching me, I'd kick their ssses.
@@mcrchickenluvr holy shit! that sounds rough! at least i was under during the surgery. it hurt like a mother later though. they did shove a needle in my back to try to drain the fluid first, and it came out so bloody, they had to send me to a thoracic surgeon.
@@fordxbgtfalcon sorry to hear that. i was told that is one of the roughest surgeries there is. they were very careful sending me back to my hospital room, cuz they said every crack in the floor was likely to upset me, and they were right. they went very slowly over any irregularities in the floor.
Very good lecture and details but I will point out that being elderly is not a risk factor. There are many people that develop pneumonia and they are not elderly. I personally developed pneumonia at the age of 30 AFTER a hospital admission NOT before the admission. This was due to (as with the vast majority of pneumonia cases) environmental pathogens as the result of gross negligence of proper disinfecting. The risk factors are : 1) the environment the individual is in 2) the individuals overall condition 3) the immunity of the individual
It's funny because, on the date you released this video, I had my first ever case of pneumonia from SARS-CoV-2. I only escaped going to the hospital because I realized early enough in the severe part of the infection that I was having out of control inflammation. My lungs were actually the least of my problem ironically because I became so swollen that I almost couldn't pass urine. I took extreme measures to bring down the fluid in my tissues and that is the one and only reason why I didn't go to the hospital and probably why I am alive today. I probably only had hours before my brain wouldn't have been able to put these things together and take action. The disease really puts you into a false sense of security that you have a mild version of the disease for about nine days and then it throws you off a cliff of cytokine storm and inflammation. It's honestly terrifying, particularly when you know enough to know what is happened to you but you're kind of stubborn to be on the awkward side of medicine (the patient instead of the healthcare provider).
Since I've been watching you, I'm more aware of my gut and other organs. I'm kinder to them , but breathing deep breaths more often then I did, ( Shallow breathing) .I also visualize the food and liquid's going down to my gut. You both are amazing. Keep on doing what you are doing , we are listening and need this kind of information.. Your both are Blessed... Thanks again. Iv had pneumonia years ago so this yellow green stuff sometimes comes up every now and then I don't know if that's connected I kind of don't think it is.
Two years ago I went to the ER with a high fever, they diagnosed me as having pneumonia. But I didn’t have a cough, no problem with breathing, no chest pain, no discomfort in the chest area, nothing. Didn’t seem right that my fever was labeled pneumonia.
Same! But my x-rays showed them my lungs were filled! But what's funny, I wasn't in any pain, sure I had lower engery but I thought I'm a girl probably just my period, so when they told me it was pneumonia I was shocked!
Same here February 2021. 7 days in hospital. Terrible headaches and would pas out. Nights sweats for close to 2 months. Sill not recovered fully. I had surgery December 17, 2021. All symptoms returned except passing out.
A very dear friend of mine passed away from pneumonia at only 48. He had it twice, back to back, and was hospitalized for it. He went home and developed it again and delayed going back to the hospital and it took his life. It is no joke, nothing to mess around with. Definitely get to a hospital asap if you suspect that you have it or definitely did have it but aren't getting better. Rest in peace "Tree Tree", we miss you so much! 💔
This time last year I got pneumonia in right lung. I reckon it came from a bad tooth that was extracted a couple weeks before. Very rank and bacterial. I had no other infections, ironically in the middle of a COVID-19 lockdown. Pneumonia Felt like a cracked rib or torn lat muscle, but then a week later I coughed up blood. Scary for me as I used to smoke. Had an x ray which confirmed pneumonia. Apparently my case was not too serious and I did get better in a week on antibiotics, and steam. But it did show me what just a slight breathing difficulty is. I normally never get sick so it was a big surprise and good lesson to know what other people have have to go through.
It's really helpful for me, that the keywords are on screen. I'm not a native speaker and listening to you and see the words written down is a good training :) really great work. Thanks
Another great video! Your channel is educating more people than the Discovery Channel! ☺️ All information relevant and elegant in the simplicity of how is explained. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I had severe phneumonia when I got covid.. it was pretty scary.. I thought I will never be able to run again because I was gasping for air from simple tasks even after being discharged. I remember they gave me blood thinners and tucilizumab
My mom had pneumonia 5 times in the past 6 months. She never smoked. She recovered from pneumonia 4 times, but the 5th time sadly took her life. She was 64 years old.
Sorry to hear that! An appendicitis video is a great idea -- we'll see what we can do to get one filmed here in the next couple weeks. Hopefully you'll feel better and recover soon!
Had COVID and pneumonia while 3 months pregnant last December and was almost told to go home when I went to the hospital because they wouldn’t believe I had anything wrong until the nurse realized how much I was struggling to breathe.
Once is saw a microscopy's image of lung with pneumonia, it seemed a cauliflower, even though the infection had token the whole area, it was a lost battle, a fews survived antibody was patrolling trying get inside to combat the bacteria, they never give up, they fight, until death. I felt a deep gratitude for those little soldiers that protect our body from invader.
Makes a lot of sense that our bodies reflect things in nature, unless we take a more religious approach in that something created us and everything in the world individually. Note how some trees prepare for winter by losing their leaves while some trees stay green, some people get seasonal depression around the winter while others are unaffected. I have dreadlocks that look exactly like a species of coral someone took a picture of, down to the fuzzy cylindrical shape my hair has. Humans are a reflection of the earth in many ways but seeing as how we eat, drink, and sustain entire nations on it, it's not as surprising. Basically, the same way animals taste like what we feed them and crops grow differently based on what we put in the soil is the same way it happens to us humans.
Very specific explanation for us, non medical students/professionals/individuals. Please continue to make videos and show us what’s our organ looks like. I had an acute bronchitis before, it developed as an asthma. Now, I am not sick or anything. But sometimes, I feel like my left body is a little bit heavy. I mean my left lung is kinda heavy and it feels pain sometimes in that area. Is there a connection with this pneumonia? Or am I just paranoid. Haha. Hopefully you can discuss more about respiratory diseases next time. Peace out ✌🏻 cheers 🥂
I once nearly died from pneumonia. My oxygen level dropped down to 40% and the doctors had done everything they could, every medicine possible. Until well, a miracle happened thanks to my mother. Happy mother's day to amazing and beautiful mothers everywhere ❤️
One fact about the lung that kind of blew my mind is that energy in the form of carbohydrates and fats are converted into carbodioxide (and other compounds of course, this is super complex). This means that almost all the carbon that is the result of weight loss are being expelled via the lungs when you exercise.
Thk you so much for this great video. I'm one of those patients just now recovering from this and your presentation helps me to understand what Pneumonia is and how it affected me
Disease is a pathological condition caused by something (viruses, bacteria, autoimmune disorders, etc.). Condition is a state of something and disorder literally means something isn't working properly. At least this is my basic knowledge as a first year med student
I'm an anaesthetic nurse, when I began my nurse training we were told that Pneumonia was often reffered to as the old man's friend, as the elderly slowly dying perhaps a painful death, if they devoloped Pneumonia it quickly ended their life ,which for some could be seen as a blessing. I've had Pneumonia and Pleuriousy it's extremely painful, it feels like someone is sticking a knife inbetween your ribs each time you take a breath. This makes you desperate to shallow breathe so your diaphragm dosen't expand your rib cage. for someone sensible they would have contacted their doctor at this point, unlike me I ended in hospital. I'd just like to say that a pulse oximeter may not give a true reading should someone be a smoker as the haemoglobin in RBC that collects O2 can't tell the difference between the O2 and CO2 and become Carboxihaemoglobin (monoxide) and can therefore give a higher reading near the 100% where normally an Oximeter reads around 97% in a none smoker.
This is really interesting to me. I had pneumonia last year in my right lung all three sections of it. 🤷🏻♀️ no idea what type because my doctor at the time didn’t send me to get imaging but antibiotics was what got rid of it. Almost ended up in hospital though and took so long to get over. So it’s really interesting watching this video and knowing more about it.
Hey Bella, that's great. How long you have took antibiotics and how long it's taken for completely get rid off ? I had taken antibiotics for 7 days then sputum test was negative but it becomes positive again after another test and now again taking antibiotics. Please reply
Perfect explanation and good for the general public to know given the new confusion trying to stir in news media and social media...AGAIN! Thanks for the video!!
You've got beautiful teeth and a great smile! I'd love to learn anything dental. We can see your beautiful teeth because you obviously love teaching this stuff and it shows. :) I'm 41 and have lost most of my teeth, no one knows one single reason they're breaking at the gums :/ it's probably why I notice. Anyways, I can't say enough how much I love these!! I share them with my kids too.
I wish i would have found this video a few years ago. My middle son got pmenonia when he was 4 months old. He ended up in ICU and almost lost his life. Education like this would have been so beneficial.
This video was educational and interesting all at the same time. Your instructor breaks things down really well to help simple people (myself) understand the anatomy of the human body as it fights viruses, bacteria, and infection. Thank you for creating this content.
It is a left lung because: 1. It has only two lobes. 2. There is only the oblique fissure and you can see the pulmonary lingula. The right lung has an extra horizontal fissure.
Aww. You can tell this guy is speaking with passion about this subject just from looking at his expression every time he mentions something he finds interesting.
I almost died of pneumonia when I was 14 . it infected both of my lungs the thing whose supposed to detect oxygen wasn't detecting the oxygen. I was barely able to move because I was so out of breath. I ended up 2 week, I think, at hospital with oxygen.
I really understand your pain then, I was at work and passed out and was taken to an ER and they told me I had indigestion.... I was in so much pain i had to visit 3 different hospitals to get a diagnosis.

6 years ago, i guess on 1st of December i was admitted to hospital for the same disease...
When doctor saw my x-ray he said "one week more without treatment and u are dead"...
They inserted a tube in my lungs, i saw a green colour liquid coming from it.
But as i was too late, they said liquid has hardened so they need to perform surgery instantly.
Thankfully I've got time...

It's left because it has 2 lobes. The right has 3. I've never taken an anatomy course in my life.. not even a biology course in high school. I just found your channel a couple days ago and watched 3 of your videos so far. I really enjoy them and I learn so much. Thank you!!
But in some cases(pretty rare one) some patients right lung have have 2 lobes
As an OLD Respiratory Therapist (30 plus years 67- 2001) this was a very good explanation .
Oooo interesting
You are an amazing lecturer. The wealth of knowledge you have is incredible. Your presentation is smooth and easy to understand.
Thank you so much.
Yes he makes the difficult sound easy and simple 👍
This is like just his thing..smart young man
I’m 30 yrs old, just got diagnosed with pneumonia after struggling with some other illness, and this is just the video I needed to see. I’m ultimately in good health, I couldn’t wrap my mind around how I came down with this, but you made it make sense. Thanks for being super thorough !
I am not a student of biology but you described pneumonia in such a way that it is clearly understood to me, great video
My mom was hospitalized with this for a few weeks and got out almost a month ago, she would’ve died if my dad didn’t take her to the hospital
She’s currently recovering now and is doing well :)
Left side= 2 lobes, right side = 3 lobes , one lobe of the right is missing . Love this channel so much.
To accommodate heart
Is that why the right lung looks smaller, because it's missing a whole lobe. I'm not in medical, just board.

I think the Lung Institute's motto is, "When you can't breathe nothing else matters" and
OMG that is soooooo true.
I've had pneumonia many times, my health kind of sucks and I always get sick (first year in my life I haven't been sick at all, because of the coronavirus). I never realised how dangerous it might be, because my mother always notices the changes in the sound of my coughs.
It's nice to know what is happening in me when I have those. Thanks.
It's a left lung cause it has 2 lobes, not 3. Makes space for the heart.
Lobes of the lung aren't a specific size, and the heart doesn't take that much more space on the left than it does on the right. It's pretty much smack in the center of the chest. The whole idea that the left lung has one less fissure as a result of the heart being ever so slightly pointed towards the left is very silly if you ask me.
@@davidonfim2381 Well, IT is still everywhere reached like that. The left lung has a small indentation where the middle lobe would be in the right one. The capacity of the left lung however isn't that much smaller, it only has this structural difference. Since all twin organs in out body are mostly structurally similar, through laws of evolution we came to the conclusion that the non existent middle lobe of the left lung might be a result of less heart complications. This would give a human a selective advantage.
lung and heart keep proper social distance
It's probably the fissures.
The middle lobe has probably been cut out and used to make the woman. :)
I’m not a Med student but a massage therapist, I’d definitely like to see sciatica video. Or frozen shoulder, the shoulder girdle is a very interesting area that people hold a lot of tension. But I definitely love the videos!!!
I currently have frozen shoulder. It is awful. It had suddenly gotten way better in November for a couple weeks, after a slow start, then I woke up one morning, back at square 1 and little has changed since then. Had 1 steroid injection in early October....guess I may need another. Still waiting for physio appointment. Everything is super slow and backed up because of covid....
That would be interesting to see a video on sciatica and frozen shoulder since I've just had both issues
This is interesting to me bc I had pneumonia as a child and was hospitalized, never really understood what happened to me until now. I kinda see my body as a badass now to have dealt with that when I was so small. Thank you for the video!
I had it at six! I remember not being able to walk at one point and had to stay in the hospital for months, only recently looked through my hospital records and found out it was pneumonia
Me too has a child I have pneumonia back in 2008 and 2009 at age 7-8 and I prone to get it again I stay at the hospital for a week
I also had it at age 6. Hospitalised for a week. I understood what it meant, so somebody must've explained it to me. I knew I had fluid in my lungs, but I don't know what caused it. I don't remember what occurred prior to the hospital. I remember the oxygen tent over my bed and the little girl in the next bed. There were two, actually. One left after a couple days and a new girl was brought in. Several years later, her dad became a teacher at my school and he remembered me right away!
Anywho, my question now is what my lungs look like and how they function at this point. I had never considered the after effects until I had a minor up in November and was asked if I had ever had pneumonia (or other lung issues) and when I said I had it so young, she asked if I have any lasting damage. I said no, because I have never been told I might or diagnosed with anything, but in the weeks since, I've begun to wonder. Is pneumonia the reason I cannot take a deep breath on a cold day? Is it the reason, when I get out of breath from exertion, that my lungs feel like they're on fire, trying to inhale enough, even at my healthiest? I don't have asthma. I have since looked up pneumonia in children and the rate of long term issues, and for those who were required hospitalization, it is pretty dang high. The trouble is that these studies are for under 5s. Is there really such a huge difference between 5 and 6, though?

I was five when I developed double pneumonia. I almost died.
Thank you. I've been having serious asthma problems that has hospitalized me twice in the last 1 1/2-2yrs. In Dec 2019 for pneumonia and I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Hopefully when my insurance finally kicks in I can be fully treated for my breathing problems.

my father passed away because of pneumonia , I found your video really helpful understanding how such a serious infection can cost lives of your loved ones , I still remember every moment till his last breath right underneath my eyes, what killed me the most was the non-caring medical staff that let him die without doing anything to help him even if there was time to put him under O2, and the really bad health care system here in Morocco, anyway thank you a lot for this video .
Thank you for being so clear. My husband is at end stage COPD and for the last 2 years has been declining. I have struggled to understand the difference between bronchitis, pneumonia, and "chest infections". I'm off to hunt down your bronchitis video now.
I had pneumonia February of 2019. I was sick for about 2 weeks.. I have never felt so terrible before in my life. I couldn't keep ANYTHING down, so I developed a food phobia for a couple of days after I started feeling better. All I could eat was raspberry sorbet for those couple or few days.

Almost died from pneumonia caused by swine flu yrs back!!! Was a healthy 18 yr old single mother when I got it. Went shopping earlier in the day for an early (19th) bday present with my mother. Came home and took a nap because I was feeling fatigued and woke up not being able to breathe. Was in ICU, out of it, with life support next to my bed for a couple days..... within 12 hrs of taking a nap. No doctor or nurse thought I was going to make it. I still remember the day I came to in ICU and nurses and doctors were RUSHING to my bedside. It took almost a year to figure out what it was because it was such an early case. Happened at the end of 2008 but Swine flu wasnt considered a pandemic until 2009. Stayed in the hospital for a month. As soon as I got out of ICU they put me in the ward with heart patients because the infection had taken such a toll on my heart, i had to wear a heart monitor the rest of my stay. Will never forget getting all those blood thinner shots in my stomach until i had enough strength to start walking again. Viruses SUCK sometimes.
Sorry you had such a bad time

I had an opportunity to hold a “plasticized” lung. It was totally fascinating, a true honor and another reason to love my lungs!
My wife had asthma, and unfortunately, she smoked. She contracted bronchitis, then it turned into pneumonia. They put her on aa ventilator, then put her out somehow, then they took a biopsy of her lungs. She passed away in hospital 27 November 2014. They said the cause of death was COPD, pneumonia, and sepsis. We were married 18 years 39 days. She was my Uber-BFF, my soulmate, the mother of my children. I miss her. JA
12 years ago, Rhode Island Hospital let me sit in their waiting room for 8 hours with pneumonia, bleeding from the throat due to coughing. Sat there for 8 hours until I gave up seeing a doctor and went home. Lungs were damaged and now I weeze when on my back making sleeping impossible for the rest of my life. THANK YOU RHODE ISLAND HOSPITAL!
I was a firefighter paramedic, this helps understand why you are giving meds, what is actually happening during there crisis. Thanks
Once I had a burning ‘’lump’’ in my chest for a couple of weeks. I can’t remember the rest, but at the end I coughed up a porcelain white object, that looked like cauliflower. I suspect it was white blood cells encasing whatever caused me soooo much discomfort. It looked like cauliflower because it was jello moulded from the sacks etc. it was like a snowflake and ‘’melted’’ away to a shapeless blob. The relief was instant. A miracle of nature. Didn’t have a cellphone camera back then. I suspect it was bronchial but ‘’caulifloweresque’’ seems the most apt description.
This is my 3rd time with pneumonia so interesting to understand my body truly isn’t secreting or creating anything to fight off infections. Nice job body
Flower G Yeah my body lets me down a lot too. Hey it says a lot that you beat it three times. I had a minor case once and think a serious case would be unbearable.

When a bacterium that is part of the normal microbiome of the lung becomes invasive and causes a lung infection, that is called an *opportunistic* infection. The bacteria of the microbiome are normally held in check by the immune system *and* the mechanical barrier formed by the endothelial cells which line the respiratory tract. When an organism of the microbiome exploits a weakness in one of those defense system, it is exploiting an opportunity, hence the name “opportunistic infection.”
In addition to bacteria, viruses (e.g. influenza, RSV, SARS-CoV-1, SARS-CoV-2, etc) and fungi (e.g. Coccidiomycosis, Histoplasmosis) can also cause pneumonia. When viruses attack the respiratory tract, they damage the endothelial cells that line the respiratory tract and thereby create an opportunity for other pathogens (bacteria or fungi) to breach the defense and cause a secondary pneumonia. This is another example of an opportunistic infection.
Antibiotics are useful drugs to treat *bacterial* infections. Anti-fungal drugs also exist to treat *fungal* infections. But there are (as yet) no drugs that reliably work against respiratory tract viruses. At this time, only a functioning immune system can clear a viral respiratory tract infection.
But patients with viral pneumonias are sometimes given antibiotics which do not work on viruses. Why? Because a secondary bacterial pneumonia might be occurring. The virus creates an opportunity for the bacteria which has to be treated. Patients with secondary bacterial pneumonias are often very sick and often require hospitalization.
I've had Pneumocystis Jirovecii Pneumonia. That shit hurts like hell. Can't breathe when I stand or sit.
Thank you for posting content about the respiratory system. I'm a Respiratory Therapist, I've been doing this for 10 years, and I still enjoy watching content like this. I would like to see more on the internet, but thank you for taking the time. I appreciate it. Good luck guys!
I developed pneumonia 7 years ago after a personal loss within three days of the first symptoms my right lung shut down completely and was non functioning. Absolutely terrifying . I had both a bacterial infection and a viral pneumonia which was why it was so bad. I coughed blood for around three or four months after and six months after the hospitalization I developed a blood clot in the exact same spot so it was a pretty rough year. Thankfully I got through it . I’m 37 now and even though I’ll be on meds for the rest of my life it could have been so much worse and i know how lucky I am to be here.
i had pneumonia in my left lung about 11 years ago, so bad, that i ended up with loculated fluid that had to be surgically removed. my left shoulder was cut open, the fluid broken up, and the subsequent protective "rind" (like an orange - and about as thick) removed. took 5 months to get over. i've also had 3X bypass, but the lung surgery was far worse.
I got it from a mold infestation that we had in an apartment back in 2001. It wasn't the first time I'd had it as I'm asthmatic and prone to lung diseases. But that definitely the worst. I had fluid in AND around my lungs. The fluid build up was so bad that they didn't have a choice but to drain it surgically. And because of how much there was, they couldn't put me fully under for fear of my lungs collapsing. They had to take a tube and suction on both sides of my chest. They numbed me up but I could still feel the tube going between my ribs and into my chest cavity. They to use 2 tube on each side for the fluid. They also did a double lung biopsy once the fluid was out. I felt much of that too. Lidocaine works GREAT for.many things. Even this because I didn't feel the blade of the scalpel. But I felt everything else. And once the lidocaine wore off anything even if someone merely THOUGHT of touching me, I'd kick their ssses.
@@mcrchickenluvr holy shit! that sounds rough! at least i was under during the surgery. it hurt like a mother later though. they did shove a needle in my back to try to drain the fluid first, and it came out so bloody, they had to send me to a thoracic surgeon.
I had the same exact surgery last year. still trying to heal. was in the hospital a month.
@@fordxbgtfalcon sorry to hear that. i was told that is one of the roughest surgeries there is. they were very careful sending me back to my hospital room, cuz they said every crack in the floor was likely to upset me, and they were right. they went very slowly over any irregularities in the floor.
This is so well explained amazing how the body has a defense system
Very good lecture and details but I will point out that being elderly is not a risk factor. There are many people that develop pneumonia and they are not elderly. I personally developed pneumonia at the age of 30 AFTER a hospital admission NOT before the admission. This was due to (as with the vast majority of pneumonia cases) environmental pathogens as the result of gross negligence of proper disinfecting. The risk factors are :
1) the environment the individual is in
2) the individuals overall condition
3) the immunity of the individual
Love your channel, I learn so much. Been married to medical doctor for more than 40 years and I finally understand so much from you. Thank you.
It's funny because, on the date you released this video, I had my first ever case of pneumonia from SARS-CoV-2. I only escaped going to the hospital because I realized early enough in the severe part of the infection that I was having out of control inflammation. My lungs were actually the least of my problem ironically because I became so swollen that I almost couldn't pass urine. I took extreme measures to bring down the fluid in my tissues and that is the one and only reason why I didn't go to the hospital and probably why I am alive today. I probably only had hours before my brain wouldn't have been able to put these things together and take action. The disease really puts you into a false sense of security that you have a mild version of the disease for about nine days and then it throws you off a cliff of cytokine storm and inflammation. It's honestly terrifying, particularly when you know enough to know what is happened to you but you're kind of stubborn to be on the awkward side of medicine (the patient instead of the healthcare provider).
Since I've been watching you, I'm more aware of my gut and other organs. I'm kinder to them , but breathing deep breaths more often then I did, ( Shallow breathing) .I also visualize the food and liquid's going down to my gut. You both are amazing. Keep on doing what you are doing , we are listening and need this kind of information.. Your both are Blessed... Thanks again. Iv had pneumonia years ago so this yellow green stuff sometimes comes up every now and then I don't know if that's connected I kind of don't think it is.
Two years ago I went to the ER with a high fever, they diagnosed me as having pneumonia. But I didn’t have a cough, no problem with breathing, no chest pain, no discomfort in the chest area, nothing. Didn’t seem right that my fever was labeled pneumonia.
Same! But my x-rays showed them my lungs were filled! But what's funny, I wasn't in any pain, sure I had lower engery but I thought I'm a girl probably just my period, so when they told me it was pneumonia I was shocked!
same here!
Same here February 2021. 7 days in hospital. Terrible headaches and would pas out. Nights sweats for close to 2 months. Sill not recovered fully. I had surgery December 17, 2021. All symptoms returned except passing out.
Fantastic teaching. I get pneumonia most of the times and hearing the teaching had made me realise how.
A very dear friend of mine passed away from pneumonia at only 48. He had it twice, back to back, and was hospitalized for it. He went home and developed it again and delayed going back to the hospital and it took his life. It is no joke, nothing to mess around with. Definitely get to a hospital asap if you suspect that you have it or definitely did have it but aren't getting better. Rest in peace "Tree Tree", we miss you so much! 💔

This time last year I got pneumonia in right lung. I reckon it came from a bad tooth that was extracted a couple weeks before. Very rank and bacterial. I had no other infections, ironically in the middle of a COVID-19 lockdown.
Pneumonia Felt like a cracked rib or torn lat muscle, but then a week later I coughed up blood. Scary for me as I used to smoke. Had an x ray which confirmed pneumonia. Apparently my case was not too serious and I did get better in a week on antibiotics, and steam. But it did show me what just a slight breathing difficulty is. I normally never get sick so it was a big surprise and good lesson to know what other people have have to go through.

Love everything about this video. With COVID going on this is a very clear and informative video. Thanks for making it.
Had COVID and pneumonia while 3 months pregnant last December and was almost told to go home when I went to the hospital because they wouldn’t believe I had anything wrong until the nurse realized how much I was struggling to breathe.
Once is saw a microscopy's image of lung with pneumonia, it seemed a cauliflower, even though the infection had token the whole area, it was a lost battle, a fews survived antibody was patrolling trying get inside to combat the bacteria, they never give up, they fight, until death. I felt a deep gratitude for those little soldiers that protect our body from invader.

Isn't it amazing how our lungs look like 2 trees, and we need trees for oxygen.... Someone is messing with us.
Makes a lot of sense that our bodies reflect things in nature, unless we take a more religious approach in that something created us and everything in the world individually. Note how some trees prepare for winter by losing their leaves while some trees stay green, some people get seasonal depression around the winter while others are unaffected. I have dreadlocks that look exactly like a species of coral someone took a picture of, down to the fuzzy cylindrical shape my hair has. Humans are a reflection of the earth in many ways but seeing as how we eat, drink, and sustain entire nations on it, it's not as surprising. Basically, the same way animals taste like what we feed them and crops grow differently based on what we put in the soil is the same way it happens to us humans.

Very specific explanation for us, non medical students/professionals/individuals. Please continue to make videos and show us what’s our organ looks like. I had an acute bronchitis before, it developed as an asthma. Now, I am not sick or anything. But sometimes, I feel like my left body is a little bit heavy. I mean my left lung is kinda heavy and it feels pain sometimes in that area. Is there a connection with this pneumonia? Or am I just paranoid. Haha. Hopefully you can discuss more about respiratory diseases next time. Peace out ✌🏻 cheers 🥂

One fact about the lung that kind of blew my mind is that energy in the form of carbohydrates and fats are converted into carbodioxide (and other compounds of course, this is super complex). This means that almost all the carbon that is the result of weight loss are being expelled via the lungs when you exercise.

What is the difference between disease, condition, and disorder
bruh....google it
@@zd141 on god
Disease is a pathological condition caused by something (viruses, bacteria, autoimmune disorders, etc.). Condition is a state of something and disorder literally means something isn't working properly. At least this is my basic knowledge as a first year med student

I'd be interested in a video on asthma, in addition to that video on bronchitis you mentioned and are hopefully doing :)
Just got out of the hospital with double pneumonia. Very informative video . Good to be home I was in the hospital for the past 2 weeks.
I'm an anaesthetic nurse, when I began my nurse training we were told that Pneumonia was often reffered to as the old man's friend, as the elderly slowly dying perhaps a painful death, if they devoloped Pneumonia it quickly ended their life ,which for some could be seen as a blessing. I've had Pneumonia and Pleuriousy it's extremely painful, it feels like someone is sticking a knife inbetween your ribs each time you take a breath. This makes you desperate to shallow breathe so your diaphragm dosen't expand your rib cage. for someone sensible they would have contacted their doctor at this point, unlike me I ended in hospital.
I'd just like to say that a pulse oximeter may not give a true reading should someone be a smoker as the haemoglobin in RBC that collects O2 can't tell the difference between the O2 and CO2 and become Carboxihaemoglobin (monoxide) and can therefore give a higher reading near the 100% where normally an Oximeter reads around 97% in a none smoker.
This is really interesting to me. I had pneumonia last year in my right lung all three sections of it. 🤷🏻♀️ no idea what type because my doctor at the time didn’t send me to get imaging but antibiotics was what got rid of it. Almost ended up in hospital though and took so long to get over. So it’s really interesting watching this video and knowing more about it.
Hey Bella, that's great.
How long you have took antibiotics and how long it's taken for completely get rid off ? I had taken antibiotics for 7 days then sputum test was negative but it becomes positive again after another test and now again taking antibiotics. Please reply

This video was educational and interesting all at the same time. Your instructor breaks things down really well to help simple people (myself) understand the anatomy of the human body as it fights viruses, bacteria, and infection. Thank you for creating this content.
It is a left lung because: 1. It has only two lobes. 2. There is only the oblique fissure and you can see the pulmonary lingula. The right lung has an extra horizontal fissure.
Aww. You can tell this guy is speaking with passion about this subject just from looking at his expression every time he mentions something he finds interesting.
