She looks like she was kidnapped and was trying to save her bestfriend by completing the endiscopy challange
Can you chocked on it
😂❤already did needs her contact
I need a doctor to help me I have something really bad with my stomach I'm see a surgeon in Chicago I already had two surgeries they want to do one more uncut Mi or intestines out what should I do my stomach hurts so bad
@@joannulloa2280 some people will do anything to get attention this is insane
As someone who has had an endoscopy without anesthesia, she is a DEMON
😂 and she looks like one from an old ancient statue or something the way her eyes are bugging out 😂
I agree ☝️
Hell yeah you see them eyes?
Is it suppose to be difficult? I had one done too with just a numbing liquid I gargled. It was as easy for me as it is for her in this video. It’s so weird how you don’t feel it AT ALL once it passes through your throat opening.
@@mochaabunn maybe you are also A DEMON
I would need to be knocked out for that, i have too strong of a gag reflex.
😂
@@caribbaviator7058 why you lauging. It is not funny.
Same😂
@@familyof1052 they often don't take the patients feelings into consideration i've noticed when dooing theese things they just expect everyone to be able to do it because they know it's not dangerous 🙄 they gave me some type of fentanyl for this and i asked 10 times what it was before since i can't have opiates frlm addiction and they wouldn't tell me until after and if i didn't take it i wouldn't been able to get the help i needed -.-
@@familyof1052im sure you got gag reflex gay boi
Holy shit. No one shoving that down my throat while I am awake.
🤨
😭😭
You rather them shove something down your throat "pause" while your sleep. That's crazy.
I’ve had two endoscopies completely out and I would like to keep it that way
@@Who.Tf.Is.Asia_😂😂😂
this woman is hard core.
She is experienced and a doctor too!
Her husband knows what's up.
(Single women throwing a tantrum down below. Ignore them, like every man in their life does.)
💀💀💀
She's the throat goat. Fo sho
Hahaga
Indeed.
💀
As someone who works as an endoscopy nurse, I have to applaud the fact her reflexes did not go crazy
She's a serial killer in a another dimension lmao.
A good doctor can guide you.just listen to him.
Right, I've had 3 endoscopies, and I puked and wretched with tears streaming every single time.
Don't the patients stay checked in l😅nger with u as the nurse
@@contemplore That's something the anesthesiologist deals with most of the time, unless the patient has chosen to proceed without one. In the case we have one, I handle biopsies, preparation, sterilisation and helping around where it is needed
Let’s appreciate her dedication to training her students!!
😂
😂😂😂
“Bring me that nurse!” 😅
Think twice before comments
But sirr !!
“I said, brrriiinnnggg me that nuuuurrssseee!”
She is a Doctor, a gastroentherologyst, not a nurse 👍
@@Torogol85 Idgaf if she's a CNA, I NEED THAT
I had 2 procedures, and both times, I was anesthetized. It's always great to hear you're healthy!😂❤
Eww😳
Indeed.
Yes
Wait huh what are you doing here 😂
thoughts on dr. Mike?
@@UncreativeN shut up
When I was 19 I went for an endoscopy and the doctor did not use anesthesia. It was one of the worst things I have been through, no sedation. Two nurses had to hold me down.😥 She tougher then me. Kudos to her !
What country?
Canada., Saskatoon Saskatchewan
Bro if that is the worst thing you have been through then you havent been through amything tbh
Why no?
Don’t they give you a choice? So you went in there to get checked up they Told you what it was and they forced you to do it anyway even if you didn’t want to?
My gag reflex could never
I've seen a lot of gastroscopies, and it's always a very uncomfortable experience for pts, and the fact that she's doing this on herself without anesthesia is just insanely impressive
What a lucky guy her husband is.
😂😂😂😭😭
🤣🤣🤣
Thats what I was thinking
I was just about to say that😂
Throat goat. 😂
Drs do such weird sh!t. I remember a veterinarian I was working with, she got bit somehow, and she literally sanitized and cleaned the wound and sutured her wound shut with absolutely no pain meds, just adrenaline. Standing in the middle of the treatment room having a full blown conversation while suturing like it was nothing. Then she went back to doing her surgeries and appts for the day like nothing happened. Also had a veterinarian that INSISTED on leaving his shirt and white coat unbuttoned at the top so his chest hair hung out all day. 😐
As a vet tech i was once watching over a cat that was under anesthesia and as she was slowly waking up, she has an impressive strength and jabbed her entire claw in my hand, i held the angry cat with 1 hand on her nape, no gloves while the other one was bleeding badly, after she calmed down and people came over to help, i went and disinfected the wound and everything by myself, thankfully the wound wasn't big, just deep so i didn't need any sutures 😂
@@warrensanders2222 😭😭
Were his initials J.P. by any chance? 🤔
He needed to let that rug breath 😅
They always say it's best to capitalize on adrenaline rather than using pain meds 🤷♂️ though that's more about setting broken fingers and stuff 😂
I bet she was popular at parties
NAHHH💀
Not everyone is like your girlfriend.
@@ashyisallyskitten4676 nah but they’re a lot like your mom hahahaha
@@alexandermartinez7930 wow ur so funny.
@@cruciantunlike you
Honestly this makes me feel so much better… I’ve been terrified of surgery/invasive medical treatments and seeing this woman preform her own endoscopy makes me feel like it’s not as torturous as I believe half of the things to be
I had one of these done when I was still in grade school. I had a throat biopsy done as well and I can tell you that it was one of my easiest procedures I have done so far. The worrying was the worst part of the whole visit. The benefit far outweighs the discomfort :+)
Makes me feel better too. I'm having one in a few hours, and while I'm nervous I'm hopeful it'll be the thing that helps end years of suffering
Not having knowledge is what scares people. It’s the unknown. When we have knowledge things aren’t as scary!
You could do this EASILY. The biggest tip? Swallow. The more you swallow, down and up, the way easier it is. In fact it's amazing how easy it is esp on the way out. So weird that just a little pulling and swallowing at the same time relieves the tightness of the muscles so much.
I'm a student nurse and I've have placements in a variety of things, including eye surgeries. And honestly, I truly believe it is mind over matter. If you get in your own head and make it out to be worse than it is then you'll have a difficult surgery. But the people who just relax and let it happen have a calm and easy surgery
Mad respect to her for this, I’d be honoured to have her as my dr. Anyone who has been ill knows the line between torture and health care is very thin.
طبعا هي شجاعة جدا لانها قامت بهذا لنفسها ، تحية لكل الاطباء (اود ان اصبح طبيبا في المستقبل)
What a wonderful thing to do to put patients at ease.
I had an emergency colonoscopy done to me when I was a young very ill teenager. I couldn't keep food down. I ultimately had 14 ulcers bleeding from the penicillin I was perscribed from my illness. At the time, I didn't know what the test was called. It was extremely crampy when they had to position the camera around a bend in the intestines. The nurse tried her best to distract me from the pain by telling me to watch my insides displayed on the little television. Decades later, I had my first scheduled colonoscopy. It was then that I realized that I had a colonoscopy as a teen. I have since had several colonoscopies...all with anesthesia ❤
That’s one way to find out👀 Hope you’re healthy and well now!
@@sincerelysof Thank you for your kind words 🌻
I'm due my first... dreading it... 😬
@worshipthecreator9081 don't be worried! I had one. As long as you go under it's like you go to sleep and wake up and nothing has happened. It's no biggie. The worst part is the meds they give you to.... evacuate.. your bowels fully beforehand lol.
@jessd7994 In uk you dont go under. Maybe mildly sedated IF you ask for it, 45 minute procedure
I’ve done this without any anesthesia because I was pregnant. It was not great. But I wouldn’t call it painful.
Do you feel like you are choking and can't breathe? I almost throw up brushing my tounge I cannot imagine that
@@miac2382 same
@@miac2382 In my experience they gave me a numbing liquid to gargle, doesn’t taste great. It tickles like crazy going down but once it’s an inch or so through the opening of your throat, you don’t feel it at all. It goes pretty far down but you don’t feel it in your esophagus or stomach. You breathe through your nose instead, and no you don’t feel like your choking. You really have to consentrste on breathing through your nose which distracts your mind from thinking about what’s actually happening. I was allowed to watch the monitor, which also distracts from any feeling you might have. Now I don’t have a gag reflex so it was really easy for me, took what felt like only five minutes, but could of been 15.
@@mochaabunni done ths w/ anesthesia too. But it was very fast, not even 5 mins. Was surprised why it was very fast 😮

Literal throat G.O.A.T 🐐
She is awesome !
i had thi done a couple years ago to figure out why i couldn’t eat much and didn’t have an appetite. after 16 years of being called dramatic or a liar and even told by psychiatrists i just had an eating disorder the scope revealed gastroparesis. explained so much.
I’m glad (but at the same time sorry) that you finally got a diagnosis! It’s horrible to know & feel something isn’t right, especially if you’re being called „dramatic“ or not at all being taken seriously, being accused of faking it.. I hate it when docs automatically assume it’s „just“ the psyche / stress, only because they don’t know what you could possibly suffer from.
I know that feeling way too well..
I hope you can cope well with your diagnosis and wish you nothing but the best & looots of health.🙈🍀
Hi i have your same symptoms. How do you deal with your gastroparesis? Do you take medicines for it? Does it bother you in your daily life?
I feel like I also have some sort of Gastro disease but never went to the hospital for a checkup because I’m scared of the doctors doing something like this.
😮.
That would NOT be me! I have had SEVERAL gastroscopies done. Thank GOD for Propofal❣️
Not god but medicine
@@brak1827 I am a believer in God, so yes, God. He created everything
She is strong! I use to be a Endoscopy Technician and out of 10 years, one person could do this EGD without meds lol
Really? Cause about 1/3 to half of our patients do gastroscopies without sedation. We do about 15 per room and have 5 rooms each day.
About once every 2 weeks we even do a colonoscopy without any sedation or painkillers.
Guess the patients in Belgium are tough!
I can’t even brush my tongue without almost throwing up from the reflex wtf
She sure definitely practices. She’s the head department champion 😂😂😂
Truly a woman of Many talents
My hubby was recoverIng from a TBI in thr Neuro Unit in a trauma center . He pulled his nasogastric tube out and it set off an alarm. Several staff ran into the room but he managed to reinsert it in the seconds it took to get to his bedside. They did an x-ray to check for positioning and it was correct. They said they had never had a patient do that before!
@Dwayne The Coke Johnson With his brain injury, he took it out impulsively but then realized he did something wrong so shoved it back in. Later on, when he got to use exercise equipment during inpatient rehab PT for the first time, he went so fast with his arms on the butterfly machine it broke apart before 2 therapists could stop him! He was a PE teacher and football coach and was very excited to get to work out finally, he was like a kid in a candy store (or more like a bull in a china shop). 💪 He became a legend there!
I had a colonoscopy not to long ago. It’s no big deal. You’re put under and you wake up and it’s done. These tests are important so get them. Remember that your decisions could effect everyone you love and who loves you.
Yea ikr I was so worried but it’s actually not bad at all
Thanku❤
This is an endoscopy, not a colonoscopy. A colonoscopy is inserted through the back passage. They can't put you to sleep for an endoscopy because you have to swallow while they are inserting the tube.
And either this one is a new version or it depends on the country because I had an endoscopy in the UK, about 6 years ago, and the tube they used was much thicker than the one in this video. It was at least an inch thick and it was really hard to get it down my throat because I was constantly gagging. It was a horrible experience. I also had a camera through my nose to check my esophagus while swallowing pieces of bread and that was a really thin tube. That wasn't bad at all. I wonder why they can't use a thin tube like that for endoscopies.
@@anita64 listen to what he says he explains why they actually use a larger tube for adults and a smaller one such as the one she’s using for children
@@fhfive1132 Then it's easy for her to say you don't have to worry about getting an endoscopy. She probably wouldn't say that if she had used the thicker tube on herself!
My respect always and ever to medical professionals.
That’s a magician right there!👍😊❤️
my gag reflex is insane, i cant eat egg whites or meat fat, otherwise i gag and possibly puke. it even happens when im brushing my teeth. HOW CAN SHE EVEN DO THAT? I WOULD DIE IF THAT HAPPENED TO ME
But you dont puke when you do something else right?? 😂😂
I remember I had this done when I was 16. They just fucking held me down on my side and shoved the tube in. As it was my first time so my throat closed up and they had to force it down as I was gagging and crying 😂 ahh the memories
Russian hospitals be like😂. They no hesistate, no anesthesia. Just push it in. That ain't efficient by the way as long as doctor has less time to diagnose your stomach while you're choking due to reflex
Yikes!
It seems now you like it😏
@@Testdemo.Your sus 🤨
She's very talented
In what sense 😂😂
Finally, a place to share my story.
I had to endure this because i suffered from ulzers.
The woman sitting on me, to hold me down, was staring me the whole time in the eyes. I had eye contact with her. When we where done, and they removed the thing, i am sure that we connected telepathically. The joy in her eyes, and the confused look on my face.
I knew how it felt to deepthroat and i know that she knew that i just had a moment of realisation.
I never been the same since.
😂
Too Good. Very helpful & calming for to-be patients.
Thats a real woman right there.
This video demonstrates a no gag reflex. I bet you got that lady hella dates😂😂😂😂
What
I can't imagine! My gag reflex is so strong there's no way I could handle that. 😮
You'd be surprised how you can handle it. I had this done 6 years ago and would also consider my gag reflex really bad plus i was very nauseus from not eating 15 hours prio to this and due to very bad fear and anxiety. You gag once they go in, after that it feels like something stuck in your mouth that you cant swallow. The key thing is to breath through the nose and relax.
she's an Icon
In Russia (and maybe ex-USSR countries) you do gastroscopia without anesthesia. Doctor just sprays some lidocaine in your mouth, and do it when you're awake. It takes 30 seconds or more to do it. Have been doing it every year from 11 years, and I got used to it. If you concentrate on your breathing, it will be not so painful
Same in Poland. Idiotic. Happily I never had it. You can pay for anesthesia only or do it private
i think its the same in most of europe.
I would never have an endoscopy without anesthesia.
I live in Jakarta Indonesia. I done ths recently (few months ago) without anesthesia and the process is very fast not even 5 mins! I was surprised that it was very fast, as i thought maybe arouns 15mins but not. Really not even 5mins and done, the doc pulled it out.
If it takes only 30 seconds then they aren't doing their jobs propley . It should take 10 minutes propley .
So basically it's not done propley and can result in a wrong diagnosis
I woke up during this and panicked and pulled it out multiple times. I was so out of it from the anesthesia that I didn’t realize what I was doing it, it was an instinctual response.
That sounds like a nightmare. What kind of sedation did you get?
@@user-qc3sz1ui9j Local. I wanted to be put right out but they wouldn’t let me.
I will be in my happy milk of amnesia sleepy time thanks.
Same 😂
Holy shit what a bad ass. That’s crazy. And to do it for such like a selfless reason to encourage people to not be afraid of it. That’s awesome.
The bite block triggers my gag reflex
I’ve had an upper endoscopy and I wasn’t loving the infiltrated IV that blew the first placement…. It took the anesthesiologist to place it correctly. My upper GI system felt sore a day or two afterwards and I can’t imagine feeling it awake…. I was very grateful for propofol despite the painful burn going in.
It didn't hurt at all. Just s soar throat for the rest of the day.
I have to have one in a couple days! Super nervous :(
I’ve had this done twice, no way I would get it done without sedation.
I have a horrible gag reflex to anything strange. I can’t even have my throat swabbed for strep or my tongue held down 😂
I love how he knew he HAD to point out it wasn't a ball gag lmfao
Well good for her. I have it done every 2 years and I’ll pass on being awake.
They did it to me without anesthesia, was horrible traumatic, its was horrible, yes I'm afraid, don't say it's easy.
when i was about 10 (now 31) my mom & i accompanied my nana to a local hospital to get a simple endoscopy done. the doctor somehow ripped a hole on the siding. not knowing why she was experiencing so much pain when she was recovering, they gave her some medicine to take orally which caused more damage. i remember being so scared seeing her in so much pain. she ended up on a feeding tube for a year or so after.🥺
Dam I didn't know that could happen!
WOW !
She gives The sloppiest of toppies
She has a really clean esophagus 😮, no redness, no lump, no uneven color good job doc
what's brave is sharing your inside to the whole world :(
I had to get an endoscopy and it was just a few months ago. It was the first time I have ever been put on anesthesia so I was out in like 3 seconds but there’s nothing to be afraid about. It doesn’t hurt afterwards with your throat or anything either. So for anyone who might have to have it done, don’t be afraid. (I’m 15 btw)
I asked for sedation when I was scheduled for an endoscopy, and they told me they can't sedate you or give anything else but a local anaesthetic (a spray for the throat) because you need to swallow to get the tube down your throat. I'm shocked to hear you were given an anaesthetic because it would have saved me from going through a very traumatising experience. By the way, the tube they inserted when I had the endoscopy was much thicker than the one used in the video, it was at least an inch thick. If it was a thin tube like the one shown here, I bet it would have been a lot easier!
@@anita64 my grandma (60) told me that when she had hers done which was a long time ago, they didn’t give you anesthesia. So I can understand that you didn’t get it. It just makes it more uncomfortable if you don’t have anesthesia.
I don't fear the Endoscopy, I fear the Colonoscopy because the prep is pure hell.
it’s hell! I had this. Citrafleet is delicious but they say that only moviprep doesn’t mistake the examination. I couldn’t Drink moviprep. I cried and I drank only 0.5l and wanted to vomit. It took me several hours till midnight. Then drank 0.6l of water. But I didn’t eat much and drank a lot of white tea, water like a week before so though I wasn’t prepared very well it wasn’t that bad and they did examination
I've prepped 3 times now. It was really no biggy to me. Just pretty uncomfy.
@donnikubbitz2146 People are different. I became violently ill and spent 3-4 four hours cramping and puking and wishing I was dead. Fun times. 😄
This was how I found out I have a hiatal hernia. Except they couldn’t fix it, I have to live with it till it goes away. 3yr so far. I think I’m stuck with it.
I'm scared to do it I havnt been able to eat solid food for almost a year it always gets stuck in my left side where my waist and liver is. My side swells out. I we t to the er but they just sent me home said cat scan clear. I lost like 80 poilunds from it.
Her eyes gives me the chills
Gag reflex go crazy
She is now the throat goat fr
I don't know how she done that on herself. I got one done and didn't get the anesthesia I thought I was going to die, I panicked when I couldn't breathe ended up rupturing my ear drum & blood was poor out I assume by wretching, next time i will be going under lol
She really an adult film star using her skills to help the doctors
Why was i getting anxious watching this 😂😂
Thank u for sharing rhis. i love stuff like this ♥️.
that’s a hard no for me. no, nope, oh hell naw
One of the best influencer videos I've seen. Just needs the right music. How about " Call me, maybe?" Carly Rae Jepsen.
Hahahahah!!! Oh no… :)))
Who needs anesthesia for an endoscopy? 😂😂
I've had mine and with air pumping I felt like I was about to explode. Thanks to all careless doctors
A very happy husband is what I got out of this
I salute ger ♥️❤️💜💚... Medical professionals are gift to the world.
She is a beast
Netflix : Are you still watching?
Someone's daughter:
Girl is NOT blinking 😭
I did this while being awake and I shed a tear because on how much it hurts
I had this procedure done a year ago they took a few biopsies that came back non cancer, so I went out easy and woke up in my room, with no discomfort and no nausea.
I had this done without anaesthesia and I hated it! Kept making me feel like I was gagging, such a horrible sensation and was so glad when it was over!
Yeah got it ... She has been PRACTICING
Took "if you got to do something right, do it yourself" To a whole another level
I can feel this
More power to you doc. I was very afraid.
I would recommend being sedated. I found it very traumatic and very scary, especially with the spray at the back of the throat and mouth. I wonder if it's better sitting up than laying down?That Doctor is doing the gastroscopy standing up. It looks much easier! 👍👍🏽
Even with anesthesia I was still incredibly traumatized by my endoscopy as I’m a survivor of assault so this procedure just triggered all of my ptsd around it.
She's actually doing it with her right hand
They call her the throat goat
lmao
Let me down slowly. Such an awesome choice for this video. Loved it.
I did this procedure today with no sedation and I started gagging and choking. She is truly a strong woman because wtf 😮
Just WOW!! She is amazing! I've had this done before. It was no fun. Maybe because of the biopsies themselves, or the places they took them from, or how much they took for the biopsies. The full endoscopy itself, I was sleep for, but jeez when I woke up.
You can tell she been trainin 🔥🔥🔥
I have had both endo and recto with no meds and it was brilliant to see what I look like on the inside.
‘this is my first time’
The first time:
I have to have a scope, and will be sedated but this really made me feel relaxed. Seeing her be able to just stand there and do it… I will be able to do it.
Eyes wide open too like "I can do thicker than this". 💀
Why every medical shorts tries to faint me
I can't even brush the back of my tongue without choking .. she is a boss at this😮
“Don’t be afraid of this”
Ughhh I hate these words since I’ve been through this
