Iris was a Greek myth, she was the female counterpart of Hermes/ Mercury. He was Zeus's messenger and she was Hera's. She had a twin sister Arke who sided with the Titans and thus was imprisoned with them. Iris was the goddess of the rainbow. She had a child with Zephyr the west wind.

This is my favourite part of any ASMR medical videos. I’d love to see the interior of the eye one day. I’ve seen digital photos of my eye at Specsavers but not quite the same…
I remember when I first saw pictures of my eyes when I saw a new eye dr. I've had a pretty extensive list of eye surgeries, so when I saw the pictures comparing my good and bad eye, I was blown away how interesting the eyes look.
I absolutely love this! My eye doctor that I had my entire life retired and I’m badly in need of a new prescription as a result so it’s neat seeing things from the doctors perspective like this. You remind me so much of my optometrist though ironically because he had such a soothing voice and would always clearly explain what he was looking for and/or doing and why it mattered and the potential health effects that I was happy for him but sad for me when he retired because I wasn’t sure I’d find another one like him. Thankfully there’s multiple practices in my insurance network right near my work so I’m hoping one of them will work out for me like he did, we’ll see!
Its great to watch you not just talking about this subject but every other topic/guideline for potential Gp's. Its a sad fact that the GP's I see rarely explain or perform the basic tests your teaching when I visit them. I know your bound by medical ethics laws and cannot comment but I am 59 years old and an ex RAF medic and I see basic medical standards slipping in this country. Keep up the good work because your teaching Doctors many things they may have forgotten.
That scope looks just a bit like a sonic screwdriver -- to us nerds. I suppose, to a GP, a sonic screwdriver looks like an opthalmascope. Also, I love that it has a history, what a thoughtful gift from your family doctor.
I'm a homeschooler in the US. My daughter's are 8 and 6. I love using some of your videos with them while working on human anatomy. My 6 year old doesn't fully understand but my 8 year old actually understands a lot more than I thought she would. These are also very relaxing. Thank you for these wonderful videos.
To an extent I go with what is interesting them in the moment. We still have to work through the skeletal system and how tendons and muscles work together to move their bodies. We also have to go through the liver, gallbladder and nervous system. Since they are so young I don't push too hard and sometimes we get off topic and just do more age appropriate chemistry. They do want to know more about specific diseases like MS because their uncle has it. Diabetes (we watched some of your videos on diabetes) because their grandmother has it. They have asked for a real doctors kit for Christmas. Lol I think I'm going to make them one.
I’ve heard of this instrument but never realized that it was the same instrument my eye doctor uses when I go in for eye exams. This ASMR clip is lovely. Dr. Gill has a soothing and calming voice and probably would put me to sleep therefore causing me to have to be on perpetual reschedule for eye exams. 😴🥴☺️👌🏻
Hello Dr Gill, I'd be interested in a video about branch retinal vein occlusion as I have that in my right eye. I have intravitreal injections and I'm the youngest person they've ever seen with it (36!) at my local hospital. It's since been found I've got hypertension which may explain why, but I'd be interested in knowing more about it.
It's really sweet that his family doctor gave him his opthalmoscope as a medical school gift, it's something he'll think of every time he examines a patient, that this was the one used on his whole family and himself as a kid 😭
Lovely video. I had an optometrist stick some orange dye in my eye once when I came in for a contact lens check (pretty disorienting sensation), I've always wondered what it was for.
Dr Gill, I don't study medicine, but I am inherently curious and enjoy listening to you speak with so much enthusiasm about your work. Thank you so much for these videos - they satiate my curiosity and help me switch off after a day of being a doctor of literature - definitely not as cool as your doctorate, but I like to think, by proxy, we'd have some good chats over pints! Thanks again, love from Ireland
Dr. Jimmy, you TYare an amazing teacher and doctor. Hey, they found out I have moderate sleep apnea, which most likely caused my afib. Cpap machines are backorder, so it will help when I get one. They want to do a cardioversion still, hopefully after I get the cpap, and not before. Wish me luck. Love your videos. A cardioversion video would be interesting to see.
Hi Dr. Gill, very informative as always. My power went out in the middle of the live video so I am not sure whether my question was posted. Are GP supposed to do this exam routinely (e.g. during an annual physical) or only when they suspect something? Thank you.
Hey Dr. Gill I am extraordinarily interested in going into the medical field. I have done a lot of research on schools and found a few I like . however I am having second thoughts because of student debt. Could you explain your experience with that ? It'd be great to hear!
In the UK, it gets paid off slowly as you work. I honestly think we’ll see grants again at some point as the numbers of doctors will fall after the pandemic. There are a lot holding on, helping out until this is over
Dr, Gill, This is a very helpful video. Do you plan to finish reading the MacLeod's exam book with your commentary? That format was very instructive. Also, do you guest teach in the U.S.? If so, where and when? I'd like to attend a lecture.
Your Opthalmoscope seems to have Halogen or LED light judged by the bright and white Ness of it. A more than 37 years old Opthalmoscope usually should have a little bit of timid tangstan-like brightness. Probably it was changed later on
When u put that yellow stuff in the eye, is it safe to use in the eyes for making a movie? (Like practical effects for the eyes) I’m just wondering cause I’m a filmmaker and constantly looking for new stuff!
@@LeKnightStudios13419 I think he means you don't want to keep topping it up to keep it vibrant. I believe coloured drops like this tend to fade on their own before long so you shouldnt need to eye wash it out etc
@@LeKnightStudios13419 The point is you wouldn't need to- the eye should naturally cleanse itself. But if you did need to wash it out, I expect a standard eye wash kit would work? I'm not an expert so you'd need to fact check

Very sensible man 😊
That’s why I don’t 😊
Less than two minutes in and the Doctor already got me shedding a tear without even turning the thing on. Beautiful story, sir.
Life is a collection of stories. We need to share them with each other 😊
This is my favourite part of any ASMR medical videos. I’d love to see the interior of the eye one day. I’ve seen digital photos of my eye at Specsavers but not quite the same…
Nothing like going down a rabbit hole after learning about benign eye floaters and pvd
I will cover those when we actually talk about retinopathy 😊
Might as well go to medical school I guess lol I've already spent years of my life learning from Dr. Gill
well, we're desperate for more doctors, give it a go 😊

It’s such an usual part of the body. The evolution blows my mind
Love these longer form videos. Also really liked you calling back to your technique in the cranial nerve exam.
They are harder to put together, but equally important 😊
Didn't realize how long this video was until I read this comment ahahaha. Love it.
