Dr James Gill Indeed! I have Graves’ disease, diagnosed as a teenager I was considered one of the worst affected in the country as my readings were off the charts, several doctors viewed me in a group as a case study I was so “toxic” - all under control now but wow those symptoms, I felt like my body was losing its mind if that makes sense 😅
I like to believe, while Dr. Gill doesn't upload FOR the asmr community, he doesn't ignore them either. I find the videos both relaxing and informative, so im always happy with this channel.
He’s so patient with this following if weirdos he’s attracted lol. Can’t imagine his odd it is for him to put out content for medical education and and then get thousands of US 😂. Dr Gill is a good sport ❤️
Jokes aside. Because of your tutorial video, i've learned and advised my wife to go for thyroid examination. She on medication and doing very well now. I'm so glad that i've followed your work and channel. Thank you for your work and dedication Dr Gill. Cheers!
@@DrJamesGill you're so humble, Doc. Like we didn't crack a smile in each of these parts. Hope you feel the same satisfaction as we do knowing your work is so appreciated (not only for medical reasons, however making people happy and relaxed for some minutes is a huge health aid!)
I DO actually fall asleep to his voice. This is a compliment, I assure you! I struggle with anxiety and panic attacks and his voice always calms me down.
I wonder if it took Dr. Gil a few takes for the "putabitofpaper". I feel like he must of laughed or lost his composure, knowing that is what his fans wanted.
I just had the news that I may lose my job in 3 days, plus i've also been told to self isolate for 3 weeks.....but a Dr Gill upload always makes everything ok!! Cheers for continuing to make such a great content for the medical and ASMR communities! Thanks Doc!
@@DrJamesGill I work in a backpackers hostel in Cardiff, so as you can imagine we have had so many people cancel their reservations, from all over the wprld, it's pretty much going to bankrupt us!
Oh no!! I am so sorry to hear that. Our health comes first but the economic toll this pandemic is taking on a lot of people is terrible. Psychologically damaging. Let's pray there is a silver cloud somewhere.
@@DrJamesGill indeed, quite a bit of passive learning. At this point from all the medical ASMR videos I watch, I feel like I have a fair grasp on what exactly is being looked for in each part of the exam and why. Now if only I could learn other stuff like this...much less stressful lol
I'd just like to say that I respect your professionalism. Though all I have to go on is these videos, it seems you have a very calm and reassuring bedside manner, which I'm sure serves you well in your practice. Keep up the good work.
People who start a comment with "I'd just like to say..." deserve to be backhanded. Oh really? You would just like to say something? In the comments section of a TH-cam video? Thank goodness you let us all know. We would have never noticed your comment if you hadn't specified that you wanted to make a comment in the comments section of this video.
Dr Gill, Thank you for embracing the ASMR community. Obviously, the amount of work you’ve put in to become a doctor is indicative of medicine being your priority. However, it’s really cool that you acknowledge us and dabble in it with your other videos. You seem like a really down to earth, cool guy. Stay safe during this virus outbreak. Thanks again.
Ah, a sequel to the original legendary video, wonderful! Hope things aren't too crazy for you right now James, and thank you so much for all you and your colleagues do for us!
I like how he gives his patients and update on everything he checks. Most doctors don’t tell you “everything looks good here”. Instead I have to ask “what is my blood pressure?” Etc
I would have laughed heartily if when doing the “putabitofpaper” test and the double vision test, if he looked into the camera and wiggled his eyebrows knowingly!
Some of my earliest memories of experiencing ASMR were during pediatric exams when I was a child! Especially when the doctor would use the stethoscope, because it would go all quiet except for the rustling of their white coat as they moved it around, and softly asked me to take deep breaths. That was long before the term ASMR existed, and my parents were confused when I tried to explain how I felt pleasantly relaxed…as long as I wasn’t getting a shot that day! 😂
I’d be bummed if anything happened to Abby From The Hand Exam. Also, it would probably be going down too much of a privacy and legal rabbit hole to share private medical info of patients.
I have Hashimoto’s disease and I’ve never had a thyroid exam like this. It’s typically just a bunch of feeling my neck, which is extremely painful, and blood work. I’ve never had a doctor listen to my throat with a stethoscope or look that closely at my eyes, especially not from behind. I’ve also never had a doctor kindly give me a glass of water when asked to swallow. I want to be seen by Dr Gill! ❤️
I have a friend, who is graduating from Medical University, and for him, this video is really helpful, not only for tips how to examine, but for learning English as well. For me, it is mostly for relaxation ☺️ (also, I can improve my vocab too)
I'm not a doctor, nor am I a medical student, and yet I always enjoy watching Dr. Gill's videos. I understand almost nothing of Dr. Gill's medical terminology, but there are some things that make a strong impression on me. The first thing is the great respect that Dr. Gill gives to the patient. In Dr. Gill's hands, the patient feels like a king who is given a lot of attention. The second thing is the soothing casual voice of Dr. Gill, which creates a uniquely relaxing atmosphere. This voice hypnotizes and relaxes the person, and this is already half of the cure. I especially like to watch when Dr. Gill's hands measure the patient's heart rate or tap lightly on his chest. And not forget the check of the reflexes of the hands and feet with a special hammer. I have never liked the name ASMR, which is given to this kind of sensation. There is something crude and too scientific in that name. And the sensations of ASMR are a kind of opening of consciousness, something that Science has yet to understand and appreciate with dignity. So it is not known when Dr. Gill helps more - when he teaches medical techniques or when he unknowingly treats a huge number of people with his soothing voice. Think about it, Dr. Gill, please !
These are great, definitely very useful and informative. I was thinking that something that may be helpful is to also do a side by side of these results when normal and abnormal, if you ever get a willing volunteer that would show symptoms
هذا الفحص ذكرني بمواضيع المهاره للمرحله الثانيه كانت شامله للغايه ،كان يجب علينا أن نفحص كل شي و في الاختبار لا تعلم من أين تبدأ ،الأفكار تأتيك من كل جانب تاره تفحص reflexes و تاره تتذكر النبض و tremer كان مهما جدا الا اننا كنا ننساه خلال الاختبار 😂😂😂😂
@Dr James Gill You are seriously such an amazing man. From reading us books on youtube to doing these medical exams by the book and so efficiently, you are making us all happy and that is so admirable! I watch these to sleep for asmr but I'd be damned if I didn't think I could do a decent thyroid exam by now as well. Win win! Thank you thank you thank you! You're a lovely human being!
Wonderful video! Very well done and for those of us who enjoy your ASMR skills, much needed during this heightened time of stress and anxiety. Thank you for all that you do in the medical field and beyond. :)
I take medication for my thyroid everyday and never had a exam that though. Typically in and out of doctors ten minutes typically. I love your videos Dr Gill. Your voice relaxes me so much.
I wonder, and this is not to be a jerk or a troll I genuinely wonder, do you actually consult patients like this, being very informative etc.? Cuz if you do, it's awesome, and our doctors here (Mauritius) should do that too Love your vids, keep up the awesome work and thanks for all you do :)
I REALLY try to (as it helps focus my mind) plus I teach ALL of my students to give a verbal commentary too as it helps the patient know what is going on
@@DrJamesGill i think it's extremely important for patients to know what the doc is looking at and for They may have felt something, for example, and dismissed it with little thought of else, but knowing it's of import, we can then share that information
I had unexplained anxiety, depression and anger starting a few years ago. I had an episode where my heart was racing and I was dizzy. The doctors found out it was hyper active thyroid and after taking medication I feel amazing! Please do not avoid the doctor, it may save your life!
Hello, Dr. Gill! I’m a medical student and recently been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease. Just found your channel and I can already tell that I can learn a lot from your videos! So I have one question: why examine the eyes multiple times?
Astrea Studies part of it is just flow. You are looking for different things at each point. I will do a video on it. But a quick list of general eye signs which covered both hypo (so Hashimoto’s is a hypothyroidism for anyone else reading this) and hyper - lid lag - kid retraction - proptosis / exophthalmos - double vision - signs of anaemia - pain moving eyes - odema around the eyes
It is somehow nice when you see again a person whose been involved in this exams. It is like you know a little more about it. And as well, really good job Doctor Gill. My favourite part is when you put a pit of paper over patient hands :D
This is the second version of the same examination from 4 years ago. The examined subject has changed, but Doc didn't, still golden voice Doctor! Aaand of course educational.
As someone who had a really late hyperthyroid diagnosis that almost lead to cancer, watching this made me angry that no doctor performed an exam like this-even when I begged for a full panel and an in-depth thyroid exam like this! I wish my doctors cared as much as you!
That’s a little surprising, hyperthyroidism should be a easy catch on a blood panel I organise LOADS of thyroid tests a week. I wonder what was in your case that made it less obvious?
@@DrJamesGill I wondered the same thing, I went in about every 6 months for about 2 years to different doctors trying to get a diagnosis. I always went when I could see my neck getting swollen in pictures, still my doctors told me that “teenagers just have big thyroids sometimes” and by the time I had my thyroidectomy I was a month from cancer with multiple nodules. Not a fun time!
@@DrJamesGill Exactly. My neck had obviously swelled, I have photos from the time of my face in profile and you can clearly see my neck had swollen, when I told my doctor they felt my thyroid before concluding that "teenagers have big thyroid sometimes" and then going on to instead insepct me for pituitary gland issues. Insane right???
@@Amber-ml6et my mum nearly died just before she became pregnant with me because of hyperthyroidism. She saw about 5 different doctors and they all said "oh we haven't found anything you're fine" but she was eating 5 meals a day and still losing weight, and she was sick and tired all the time. Her GP *finally* decided to do one last test for thyroid, and they worked out that that was the problem
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.... “I’d like to perform a thyroid examination, is that okay with you?” “No, what’re you doing in my house??” “Fantastic.”
These videos have been extremely helpful for my medical classes sometimes the live clinic classes the instructors go through them so fast you miss a step or 2
Dr James, I find your examinations extreamly relaxing to watch as you have a very gentle nature about you 😊 I have a question : Do you teach full time or are you also working in hospital? If I was to ever meet you I'd certainly look forward to an examination ☺️
Are people where you’re from naturally quiet? I feel like your tone and the people in your videos always have a very reserved voice. If that makes sense. You seem like quiet and nice people
Dr James Gill thanks for the response! I was just saying that you seem like kind people. Keep up the videos! We are proud of your success so far and want to see you continue to grow.
I have a question Dr. Gill, when palpating the thyroid gland in a patient with a history of hyperthyroidism, is it supposed to feel enlarged and with a pulse similar to when we palpate the vein of the wrists? Or does it only feel enlarged? My question arises because that area has to be auscultated. Thank you ❤️
Amne Marie with hyperthyroidism you can get various cardiac changes Most likely you’ll find a tachycardia - raises heart rate - when checking the peripheral pulse at the wrist. BUT there are several causes of tachycardia including simple anxiety With a hyperthyroidism you MAY get what is called a thyroid bruit - so you hear a turbulent rushing of blood sound through the thyroid which is not present normally. In terms of enlargement of the thyroid that can happen in both underactive and overactive thyroid glands... or not be present at all - which is the case in most mild conditions
Amne Marie the pulse, assuming no vascular disease, should feel the same at all points. The heart will be creating the pulse, but the thyroid may be having an effect on the characteristics of the pulse
Examining the thyroid is so involved, why is that, Dr. Gill?
Because the thyroid acts as the “accelerator pedal” for the whole body.
If you have and under or over active thyroid EVERYTHING is affected
It’s an old video but this does explain it
th-cam.com/video/uWhJrMzT5ZA/w-d-xo.html

Got to give Abby some BIG props for being the model patient.
Go Abby go!
It is somehow nice when you see again a person whose been involved in this exams. It is like you know a little more about it.
And as well, really good job Doctor Gill. My favourite part is when you put a pit of paper over patient hands :D
This is the second version of the same examination from 4 years ago.
The examined subject has changed, but Doc didn't, still golden voice Doctor!
Aaand of course educational.
he said putapitapaper, the world is stressful right now but my day is made ☀️
And there it is .. put a bit of paper .. it’s been years in the waiting but it was well worth the wait. What a Jedi!!
anyone else notice at 0:08 the text flies out of their butts?
PFFFFRRRRRRRRRRRRT
thefowles1 That’s what I imagine Pac-Man’s diarrhea looks like
😂
Ahahah you're right! 😆😆 I didn't notice that because I was concentrated on listening to Dr. Gill's voice only.
LOLLLLL
As someone who had a really late hyperthyroid diagnosis that almost lead to cancer, watching this made me angry that no doctor performed an exam like this-even when I begged for a full panel and an in-depth thyroid exam like this! I wish my doctors cared as much as you!
That’s a little surprising, hyperthyroidism should be a easy catch on a blood panel
I organise LOADS of thyroid tests a week.
I wonder what was in your case that made it less obvious?
@@DrJamesGill I wondered the same thing, I went in about every 6 months for about 2 years to different doctors trying to get a diagnosis. I always went when I could see my neck getting swollen in pictures, still my doctors told me that “teenagers just have big thyroids sometimes” and by the time I had my thyroidectomy I was a month from cancer with multiple nodules. Not a fun time!
To clarify, you didn’t get bloods as soon as mentioned neck swelling?
@@DrJamesGill Exactly. My neck had obviously swelled, I have photos from the time of my face in profile and you can clearly see my neck had swollen, when I told my doctor they felt my thyroid before concluding that "teenagers have big thyroid sometimes" and then going on to instead insepct me for pituitary gland issues. Insane right???
@@Amber-ml6et my mum nearly died just before she became pregnant with me because of hyperthyroidism. She saw about 5 different doctors and they all said "oh we haven't found anything you're fine" but she was eating 5 meals a day and still losing weight, and she was sick and tired all the time. Her GP *finally* decided to do one last test for thyroid, and they worked out that that was the problem
In times like these, we need some thyroid examination to help relieve stress, thank you Dr Gil
Dr Gill and Dmitri (MassageASMR) should team up. It's what the world really needs right now
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again....
“I’d like to perform a thyroid examination, is that okay with you?”
“No, what’re you doing in my house??”
“Fantastic.”
Thanks, my wife has a thyroid condition and this has been helpful.
👍👍
The legend is back!
Educational, relaxing AND memes. This channel has it all.
2:53 when my mom sees my search history
LOL
😂😂
@@clairewilliams9868 Honestly usually I'd use lol ironically but this time I literally laughed out loud
I enjoy these tapes! Dr Gill seems like a nice doctor!
Worth the wait. In isolation thanks to Coronavirus, this has healed me.
These videos have been extremely helpful for my medical classes sometimes the live clinic classes the instructors go through them so fast you miss a step or 2
Dr Gill: Putapitapaper
COVID-19: Well played
😂😂
this channel is a double whammy for the medical and the asmr community! truly, dr james doing the most lol take care!
5:25 BRILLIANT
Dr. Gill you are loved by thousands of people. 🤙🏻
First time being checked by Dr. Gill: *normal*
Second time being checked by Dr. Gill: *straightened hair, dressed up*
I see what you're doing here Abi
Congrats on 20K King James!!
If Dr Gill gave a thyroid exam to Whispers Red I’d lose my damn mind.
Abby is back! Love the video!
Dr James, I find your examinations extreamly relaxing to watch as you have a very gentle nature about you 😊 I have a question : Do you teach full time or are you also working in hospital? If I was to ever meet you I'd certainly look forward to an examination ☺️
In clinic 80% teach 20%. - although I’d prefer to spend more time teaching
I'm the only Brazilian guy who loves Dr. Gill?
nope :)
Are people where you’re from naturally quiet? I feel like your tone and the people in your videos always have a very reserved voice. If that makes sense. You seem like quiet and nice people
My grandfather had a gentle voice, if not quiet. But my voice does change depending on what I’m doing. My pts can confirm that.
Dr James Gill thanks for the response! I was just saying that you seem like kind people. Keep up the videos! We are proud of your success so far and want to see you continue to grow.
I tried to put the sound to 100%, and yet Dr Gill voice is so sweet haha, truly calming
I enjoy the educational factor of these videos :3
That’s their purpose 👍
@@DrJamesGill It's hilarious that you're so popular for your accidental ASMR you have to explain this to people.
I came here to relax, but after watching this channel for some time I think I’m developing an actual interest in medicine. 👀
The more we know about our own bodies, the better 😊!
2:54 me when Dr. Gill says "fantastic" softly
Good Video About The Thyroid Examination Doctor Gill I Never Had A Thyroid Examination Before I Might Come To Your Office In About 3 To 4 Weeks
I have a question Dr. Gill, when palpating the thyroid gland in a patient with a history of hyperthyroidism, is it supposed to feel enlarged and with a pulse similar to when we palpate the vein of the wrists? Or does it only feel enlarged? My question arises because that area has to be auscultated. Thank you ❤️
Amne Marie with hyperthyroidism you can get various cardiac changes
Most likely you’ll find a tachycardia - raises heart rate - when checking the peripheral pulse at the wrist. BUT there are several causes of tachycardia including simple anxiety
With a hyperthyroidism you MAY get what is called a thyroid bruit - so you hear a turbulent rushing of blood sound through the thyroid which is not present normally.
In terms of enlargement of the thyroid that can happen in both underactive and overactive thyroid glands... or not be present at all - which is the case in most mild conditions
Amne Marie the pulse, assuming no vascular disease, should feel the same at all points. The heart will be creating the pulse, but the thyroid may be having an effect on the characteristics of the pulse
Dr. Gill knows that his voice is so relaxing and calm? I would be sleeping in one minute in this examination
