I have general surgery exam tomorrow (just 12 hours later) and I have been watching your videos about general surgery for 1.5 hours. This is not normal in my exam times in general. However, your videos really make on my mind an overview like you say and I learn/remember the pathopysiology of diseases, this makes the informations be permanent. Like you say on your website “We have two hands. One of our hands for ourselves, one of our hands for others”. Thank you for share one of your hand with us. Loves and respects form Turkey. With best wishes :) (Also, this is my first comment on TH-cam-27.12.2020)
@@RagingUtai It was really good, Alhamdulillah. Of course I had studied with my own teachers notes and videos (because of COVID-19) also other surgery videos on TH-cam before I have watched Armando's videos. But these videos really make my informations well coordinated. I like that. 👌🏾
I am a visual learner. Even though my Patho class covered pretty much the same thing, I needed to see the drawings before tomorrow’s exam. Life saver! 😌

This is the best explanation of bowel obstruction .. u are a great teacher even tho am not in medical field but u so got my attention.. and i became interested on this major because of ur video❤️ clear, simple, easy to follow, short, indexed at the same time..❤️
Outstanding explanation. Thank you so much. I had a Hartmanns procedure 10 months ago in the UK. Hoping for a reversal soon. I have adhesions and your explanation was so very helpful in visualising my issue and the likely outcome. My problems started with diverticulitis. I’d never even heard of it when I went to A&E. Next day they operated and removed part of my colon and left me with the stoma. I can’t stress enough how important it is to not ignore the symptoms and get it checked out. I would have died from the peritonitis if I’d left it any longer. I feel so lucky to be alive.
I have had Chronic Pseudo Obstruction Disease since 2004, when my entire large was removed. My surgeon did a straight pull-through procedure, so no bag. This is a rough disease. I've educated hospitals, as most hadn't even heard of it. Thank you so much for this video. It will help me explain it better. Just a note, specialists are surprised that I'm still alive.
@@jdenino6022 As soon as I came around from surgery,I instantly felt better .Stayed a week in Hospital, while things healed and that everything was functioning as it should.It took a while for my strength to return ,because I just did not feel like eating .But now other than what looks like a zip going up through my belly I feel wonderful x.
Omg you are so accurate with that. ERs in America are the worst inn the world! ER doctors: Your issues don't fit my kindergarten chart they gave me after I made it thru to the fifth grade. I'm finally getting a pill cam tomorrow morning. I found a real doctor that studied and practiced in India before moving here so he knows allot more than these doctors that are paid to drag any illness as looking as they can, no wonder America has the worst cure rate percentage in the world but America pays the most for health care. Tell me someone's not getting PAID!!
Stephanie P So where do we go to to avoid getting a run around? Canada, UK? US doctors suck? If u get a bowel obstruction and sepsis...they would have to sedated u and cut u open right? Treatment is still top of the line in the world right? Or is it like winning the lottery to get a competent ER doc and surgeon?
Take it from some1 who was diagnosed with Stage 3 Colon Cancer which caused an Intestinal Blockage...listen to your body, gst checked on a regular, and follow all preventative measures. Sometimes you cant prevent certain stuff but dont help it. But im a cancer survivor and i dont want no1 to go threw what i went threw. Stay safe and take care!!!🙏🙏
Did you also have faced small bowl Obstruction pls do tell me my father is also have small bowl Obstruction . He has very horrible pain . I am so much helpless can't do anything for him 😭😭
@@AtulGupta-fs9ss an obstruction can in be in the large intestine as well as the small intestine. If there is any kinda blockage anywhere get your father medical help immediately because you don't want it to rupture. And yes it's very painful only the hospital can relieve that kind of pain.
@@eboniestevenson231I'm kanika (atul daughter) we have consulted from alot doctors they say he has partially blockage of air and fluid wait and watch may be blockage can go by itself but he is in soo much pain and diarrhea also we can't wait he is not able to eat or drink I'm so depressed can't see his bad condition now 😭😭 my father is 43 and in 2016 he was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer still he is on his chemo bt because of Obstruction his body became soo weak he's not able to take chemotherapy also ... pls god do something 🙏

Thankyou .My father is currently admmit due to bowl obstruction. So I find this is helpful to me to understand the issue. Easy to understand for person like me from non medical background.
Very nicely and clearly done. You let a few medical terms slip without definition, such as "necrosis" (which means death of a tissue, anyone who is confused), and "sepsis" which means infection of the bloodstream often caused by "peritonitis" which is infection of the "sac" surrounding the gut, but by and large QUITE understandable by anyone who makes an effort and some understanding of plumbing. Your explanatory and artistic skills are very impressive.
Armando. Fantastic video. I’ve had a number of small bowel obstructions due to adhesions and the first time I went to A&E by myself in a taxi with a sick bowl convinced I had food poisoning! I was quickly diagnosed but the surgeons shield you from all of this. By the time of my 2nd 2 weeks later, I was a google expert and therefore terrified, lol. I also got MRSA and sepsis that time and was lucky to survive. Best video I’ve seen though with just facts and no scaremongering. Thanks.
You are a great teacher. I just came back from medical center and was told I have small mechanical bowel obstruction. I needed to understand what that really means and what could have caused it. You simplify the illness. Thank you.
Thank you for posting this. I am dealing with what seems to be a near-total obstruction of the lower bowel, and this helps me much more deeply understand the topic, in addition to the doctorate-level papers I've googled.
I just got out of the hospital due to a blockage following a colectomy (3weeks prior) and your drawing is mesmerizing while also very clearly explaining the medical details. This is ASMR level learning...I love it, thank you!
Thank you for the video. I had a Gastric Sleeve about 3 weeks ago. My doctors wouldn't explain a Bowel Obstruction to me your video did so much. Thank you again!
Hi, many thanks. I am not a medic but I recently had a bowel obstruction following an emergency appendectomy. The hospital gave me little information about the obstruct so your video was very interesting. Mine was rectified by gastrografin enema. (for the non medics here, gastrografin is a liquid taken orally that effectively acts as an enema.)
I think I may be experiencing this now. Waiting on a returned call from my GI Dr. Thank you for this video! It's very informative & easy to understand.
Thankyou for such an informative video, l had a twisted bowel last February(2021) was lucky to survive, had emergency op, unfortunately my wound broke down which left me with an illeostomy, luckily I'm having a reversal op in 8 days time, but has been a long road to recovery for me..
I have watched many of your videos and think they are very good. This video really clicked for me in the way you gave a big picture of types of obstruction, and psuedoobstruction and was a GREAT video. Thank you very much for all the hard work you put into these.
Very interesting. I have Crohn’s & colitis. Ileostomy 1996, 2008 & 2012 two small bowel resections due to adhesions. I now have a bulging hernia opposite side of my stoma. 3 obstructions this month lasting from 26 hours to 10 hours. I’m refusing an ambulance when I went 26 hours as the pain was too bad to move. I spent 10 hours vomiting. I’m fighting against having another operation. I’ve been opened up 4 times on my stomach, surely there comes a time when you say “no more”
Thanks for the video. To those who have constipation problems, I wish for you to get better. Here's what works for me: 1. Stretching your body muscles with typical stretching exercises. 2. Squatting exercises. 3. Starjumps and similar exercises. 4. Moving your hips to the sides repetitively while sitting on a flexible office chair/gaming chair. It's basically any movement/position that helps you release the blocked gas/stool from your system. But of course, you first need to go to the doctor for proper diagnosis and medication. I found that after doing such exercises and frequenting the toilet, these things helped me relieve the pain immediately: 1. Gently massaging the region between the belly button and the crotch, in a downward motion. Doing this while lying down even for 2 minutes really helps. 2. Apply pressure with your thumb on the DU 26 acupuncture point for a few seconds (you'll need to Google photos of this if you're not familiar with the location). Hold it for a few seconds before releasing (No need to do circular motion). For this particular point, don't be afraid to apply a reasonable amount of pressure as long as it doesn't bleed or cause you physical pain. 3. Apply pressure/Gently massage with your thumb on the L 14, LV 2, and SP 6 acupuncture points in circular motions for a few seconds for each point. Hope this helps! I did everything on my own, but if you have assistance from someone else that's even better.
Did you get better over time in the hospital? My mother has this at the moment and I’m terrified what she’s going through. She’s getting more pain, can’t eat, bloody nose and can barely talk. I want to know what you went through so I can be at ease.
@@luisa3447 you do get better, eventually. Unfortunately, the recovery process can be quite slow. Like I stated before, this entire thing did traumatize me. After I got out of the hospital, I couldn't eat solid foods for almost two weeks and felt fatigued constantly. I had a phantom pain (where the tube was) down the back of my throat. Is your mum still in the hospital?
@@spookymadeleine Yes she’s getting more pain and fatigue with the tube giving her fluids she’s puked over night but she can talk some at the moment. The doctors are still observing to see whether they want to operate on her
@@luisa3447 operations for small bowel obstructions tend to be the absolute last resort. I hope she heals quickly. Have they been administering any ativan or anything? That's what they gave me continuously. Though I'm a stranger on the internet, I'm sending my love to her and hoping for a quick recovery
Thank you for such a descriptive and informative analysis of bowel observation. Unfortunately, I have had several due to adhesions. Excrutistiating painful.
I've had one so far due to surgeries as well. I'd rather not have that happen again.😮☹😖😩 I do a lot of stretches, sit-ups and planks now. For what it's worth my doc said it could help break up scar tissue and encouraged me to do so. So far so good.👍
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing with the level of detail that you did. The drawings were excellent along with the explanation of everything. Although this knowledge can be scary for anyone who has experienced a small bowel obstruction, it's more valuable to understand what the drs are talking about than to wonder in ignorance. Again, thanks.
My sister possible died this was as I was told by family. The doctors had to remove her small intestines then her heart stopped then restarted then stopped again resulting in death. We are still grieving our loss.
My husband is 62, has had a hernia probably for the last 8 to 10 months. Also his intestine protrudes through it. I almost took him to the ER last night as he couldn't stand up straight due to the pain he developed. Laying down for 30 minutes made him feel better, but he also skipped dinner because of this issue.
Lisa, how is your husband now? My 63 y.o. husband has an inguinal (incarcerated) hernia. He's scheduled for surgery on November 18th. I'm so nervous. Hope your husband is okay now. .
Very clear. Thank you so much, your videos explain my situation so clearly. I had an obstruction in 1999 caused by an adhesion due to a not recognized (it was IBS the doctor said) and healed chronic appendicitis (which began in 1983).The surgeon saw the healed appendix and old scar tissue around it which made the adhesion to my peritoneum. I got surgery but they kept the appendix intact, only cut through the adhesion. (OMG!) They had let me wait 32 hours in hospital before surgery and that explains I got IBS I think (maybe due to less oxigen in the area during the obsruction??) and I got diverticulosis also (due to the pressure from the obstruction??? Then after 19 years, I had an appendicitis again!! (because during the first surgery the appendix was not removed!) and yet the appendix was perforated. (because they again waited too long before surgery: 31 hours).
I had a bowl obstruction, but it wasn't caused by anything you mentioned. I had a congenital band, which tightened up over time and caused the obstruction.
This is an excellent video...i am watching this to understand my inability to go... i not only feel i have gotten the best info but that it was presented to me in a way i could clearly understand....i will be looking for more of your videos great job 👏 👏👏 💯💟

The type I've had to deal with over the years has been a paralytic ileus in the small bowel, though not in the same place all the time. We think an infection I had back in '12 caused some nerve damage, and it occassionally just shuts down for a few days at a time. Never really sure what sets it off, or how to fix it. This was all very interesting to learn, though, even if most of it doesn't apply to my case usually.
Thank you so so much. I've had distention in my belly for a long while. I dont know what's wrong yet but its caused major problems that I mistook for spinal injuries, had numbness in my gentiles and falls. But nothing was wrong with my spine. After a long time of having numbness in my gentiles I suddenly didnt anymore one day and at that same time i felt something horrifically huge leave my tummy and started on it's way through my bowels. I've gone into shock with every red flag in my brain going off, severe pain in my abdomen, distention, even sepsis i believe over xmas break but like the girl said before me it's super hard to get a diagnosis. Thank you so much for this video I know now what kind of doctor I need to visit who will take me seriously enough to figure out what's causing all these symptoms.
Very nice video,the only thing is that the oxygen supply to the bowel is impaired by bypass arterial compression, which leeds to the ischemia of that part of the bowel
This video is spot on and doesn’t skip a beat! I recently went to the ER for projectile vomiting and severe stomach pains for what I assumed was food poisoning from freshly baked peanut butter cookies I had purchased from the store earlier that day.... yeah I know 🤣 but it made sense at the time considering it was all I had eaten that day. I was told Because the symptoms I had are related to C-19, I had to get tested even though I had no other symptoms other than feeling extremely flushed and like I was going to pass out. My CT scan confirmed that I had severe impacted fecal matter and my test confirmed that I had been hit. Imagine that! Get help and Get tested people and continue to be safe.
@@f0repl4y Hi, impacted fecal matter is a blocked colon (from a massive amount that’s stuck) that requires emergency treatment. Yes, it’s caused by being constipated but for over a long period of time. Yes! However I’m thankful to be feeling back to myself again! It was a painful and grueling time for me including being totally isolated. Thank you for asking ❤️
@@sonjuiceb0x692 That's good news!! I'm so glad you're feeling better. I had a similar experience! I had projectile vomiting as well, no stomach pain, not sure what caused it. But I remembered I ate mushrooms with guac, from my understanding, mushrooms are difficult to digest. Anyways, I didn't need to head to ER (cause no pain), once all the mushrooms left my system I was able to drink water/digest food. Maybe it was food poisoning?? Who knows. But its good news that you're recovering! I hear horror stories that many people lose their taste buds with covid19! Hopefully you were able gain back your senses.
@@f0repl4y Hi! Thank you. I’m glad you’re feeling better too and thankfully it wasn’t a matter of needing emergency medical care. There’s a saying “better out than in” and I certainly agree lol

I’ve been put on a liquid diet with a partial bowel obstruction but the pain is absolutely horrific. I haven’t been sick though. Still waiting on a scan.
I feel you I get them every other year, at least you know the symptoms now in case it happens again. I usually already know it’s happening and go to ER, because I let them know I have a history of bowel obstructions, they usually do the CT scan right off the bat instead of trying to figure out what it could be.
Thanks for this video! Gut health is so important for preventing constipation! Indicators of a healthy gut include: colon transit time of 12-24 hours, type 4 stool on the Bristol stool chart, not having diarrhea or constipation, having 1-3 bowel movements per day, and light-dark brown colored stools!
Absolutely outstanding! I look forward to checking out your other videos. I very rarely use youtube videos because they are lengthy, you get right down to the guts of it

I had Meckles Diverticulum as a baby and had to have surgery, so I am prone to getting obstructions. Over the past 10 years, I've had a total of 5 big abdominal surgeries to fix an obstruction. You can pretty much do algebra on my stomach now from all the scarring. Gut health is no joke and people should be more aware of digestion and eating as a whole in my opinion.

I had this happen and I was in the hospital for five days with a nasalgastic tube. It was terrible; I'm still traumatized from this
I know. That N&G tube is hell. I was in the hospital for 2 weeks down my nose and throat. But it was only a small price to pay for me to get better.
Did you get better over time in the hospital? My mother has this at the moment and I’m terrified what she’s going through. She’s getting more pain, can’t eat, bloody nose and can barely talk. I want to know what you went through so I can be at ease.
@@luisa3447 you do get better, eventually. Unfortunately, the recovery process can be quite slow. Like I stated before, this entire thing did traumatize me. After I got out of the hospital, I couldn't eat solid foods for almost two weeks and felt fatigued constantly. I had a phantom pain (where the tube was) down the back of my throat. Is your mum still in the hospital?
@@spookymadeleine Yes she’s getting more pain and fatigue with the tube giving her fluids she’s puked over night but she can talk some at the moment. The doctors are still observing to see whether they want to operate on her
@@luisa3447 operations for small bowel obstructions tend to be the absolute last resort. I hope she heals quickly. Have they been administering any ativan or anything? That's what they gave me continuously. Though I'm a stranger on the internet, I'm sending my love to her and hoping for a quick recovery
The air entering the GIT is by degluttition, not by breathing .
Great video 👌
Thank you for such a descriptive and informative analysis of bowel observation. Unfortunately, I have had several due to adhesions. Excrutistiating painful.
AllyKat T what are you doing to manage pain?
I've had one so far due to surgeries as well.
I'd rather not have that happen again.😮☹😖😩
I do a lot of stretches, sit-ups and planks now.
For what it's worth my doc said it could help break up scar tissue and encouraged me to do so.
So far so good.👍
🎯 awful awful pain 😢
impressive artwork and detailed explanation!
this overview was excellent! Very easy to understand and the diagrams were awesome... thanks so much for your info.
What is GASDISTENDED HEPERPRTISTSLYTIC BOWEL LOOPS NOTED. AND WHAT IS EDEMATOUS THICKEALLED SIG MOID COLON. Is there any problem. Is causing cancer.
Easy to understand and well explained. Thank you.
chipo mudyiwa are you a medical student?
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing with the level of detail that you did. The drawings were excellent along with the explanation of everything. Although this knowledge can be scary for anyone who has experienced a small bowel obstruction, it's more valuable to understand what the drs are talking about than to wonder in ignorance. Again, thanks.
My sister possible died this was as I was told by family. The doctors had to remove her small intestines then her heart stopped then restarted then stopped again resulting in death. We are still grieving our loss.
My lifes problems displayed on a white board. Thanks for explaining! I'm gonna go eat a salad now!
You Can Eat!!?????
Great video crystal clear. Just wish I could get some answers
Better than my doctor , thanks 🌟😭
Makes this whiteboard work look easy as writing the abc, with great explanations.
My husband is 62, has had a hernia probably for the last 8 to 10 months. Also his intestine protrudes through it. I almost took him to the ER last night as he couldn't stand up straight due to the pain he developed. Laying down for 30 minutes made him feel better, but he also skipped dinner because of this issue.
Lisa, how is your husband now? My 63 y.o. husband has an inguinal (incarcerated) hernia. He's scheduled for surgery on November 18th. I'm so nervous. Hope your husband is okay now. .
Armando Hasudungan..
You are a great educator.
Thank you Armando, your videos are excellent.
After a prolapse I've develope a blockage; what's the recommendation?
Very clear. Thank you so much, your videos explain my situation so clearly. I had an obstruction in 1999 caused by an adhesion due to a not recognized (it was IBS the doctor said) and healed chronic appendicitis (which began in 1983).The surgeon saw the healed appendix and old scar tissue around it which made the adhesion to my peritoneum. I got surgery but they kept the appendix intact, only cut through the adhesion. (OMG!) They had let me wait 32 hours in hospital before surgery and that explains I got IBS I think (maybe due to less oxigen in the area during the obsruction??) and I got diverticulosis also (due to the pressure from the obstruction??? Then after 19 years, I had an appendicitis again!! (because during the first surgery the appendix was not removed!) and yet the appendix was perforated. (because they again waited too long before surgery: 31 hours).
lawsuit?
Wish you the best health.
This guy is something else..!!
So easy to follow this explanation and great illustrations!
I had a bowl obstruction, but it wasn't caused by anything you mentioned. I had a congenital band, which tightened up over time and caused the obstruction.
Same recently doctrs done surgery of my small intestine and there was band obstruction.... I want to know the reason how that band became...
I want to ask some questions about surgery and diet plan
Thanks I have two hernias I go Monday to talk to the hernia doctor hope that’s my problem . Thanks 🙏 for explaining this so good !
This was an amazing explanation of bowel obstructions. Thanks
This is an excellent video...i am watching this to understand my inability to go... i not only feel i have gotten the best info but that it was presented to me in a way i could clearly understand....i will be looking for more of your videos great job 👏

Tx u sir, u r the perfect man in this topic 👌👌👌👌👌👌🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for good, clear overview lesson. Not enjoyable, but very useful.
The type I've had to deal with over the years has been a paralytic ileus in the small bowel, though not in the same place all the time. We think an infection I had back in '12 caused some nerve damage, and it occassionally just shuts down for a few days at a time. Never really sure what sets it off, or how to fix it. This was all very interesting to learn, though, even if most of it doesn't apply to my case usually.
Thank you so so much. I've had distention in my belly for a long while. I dont know what's wrong yet but its caused major problems that I mistook for spinal injuries, had numbness in my gentiles and falls. But nothing was wrong with my spine. After a long time of having numbness in my gentiles I suddenly didnt anymore one day and at that same time i felt something horrifically huge leave my tummy and started on it's way through my bowels. I've gone into shock with every red flag in my brain going off, severe pain in my abdomen, distention, even sepsis i believe over xmas break but like the girl said before me it's super hard to get a diagnosis. Thank you so much for this video I know now what kind of doctor I need to visit who will take me seriously enough to figure out what's causing all these symptoms.
What treatment have you taken
So I have found that daily miralax maybe even twice a day will help keep my belly looking as if I'm pregnant.
@@lydiairvine1301 when you refer to it being hard getting a diagnoses do you mean a bowel ubstruction?
Great explanation and cover the whole subject
Great video I am suffering and have been for about a year and a half hopefully the MRI tomorrow with fluids and dies will show thank you very much
Hope every teachers tries to teach like this in classes........
VERY nicely explained.
Jazaak Allah
Had no idea where to start on writing a research paper for large BO and this helped a ton with getting started. Thank you!
Fantastic video with lots of easy to understand information. Thanks for sharing. peAce
Thank You Armano. This video is SO informative and concise...
Very nice video,the only thing is that the oxygen supply to the bowel is impaired by bypass arterial compression, which leeds to the ischemia of that part of the bowel
Very beautifully and awesome explanation. Very well understood just before my presentation in the morning. Thank you very much.
This video is spot on and doesn’t skip a beat! I recently went to the ER for projectile vomiting and severe stomach pains for what I assumed was food poisoning from freshly baked peanut butter cookies I had purchased from the store earlier that day.... yeah I know 🤣 but it made sense at the time considering it was all I had eaten that day. I was told Because the symptoms I had are related to C-19, I had to get tested even though I had no other symptoms other than feeling extremely flushed and like I was going to pass out. My CT scan confirmed that I had severe impacted fecal matter and my test confirmed that I had been hit. Imagine that! Get help and Get tested people and continue to be safe.
Severe impacted fecal matter??? What does that mean? You're constipated? Wait... You have Covid19 too? How are you recovering so far?!?!?
@@f0repl4y Hi, impacted fecal matter is a blocked colon (from a massive amount that’s stuck) that requires emergency treatment. Yes, it’s caused by being constipated but for over a long period of time.
Yes! However I’m thankful to be feeling back to myself again! It was a painful and grueling time for me including being totally isolated. Thank you for asking ❤️
@@sonjuiceb0x692 That's good news!! I'm so glad you're feeling better. I had a similar experience! I had projectile vomiting as well, no stomach pain, not sure what caused it. But I remembered I ate mushrooms with guac, from my understanding, mushrooms are difficult to digest. Anyways, I didn't need to head to ER (cause no pain), once all the mushrooms left my system I was able to drink water/digest food. Maybe it was food poisoning?? Who knows. But its good news that you're recovering! I hear horror stories that many people lose their taste buds with covid19! Hopefully you were able gain back your senses.
@@f0repl4y Hi! Thank you. I’m glad you’re feeling better too and thankfully it wasn’t a matter of needing emergency medical care. There’s a saying “better out than in” and I certainly agree lol
@@sonjuiceb0x692 how to treated
What an easy to umderstand explanation, subscribed right away!
I was diagnosed with superior mesenteric Artery Syndrome,,,these explains lot about my symptoms

Me as well, you should check with a good professional, the usual treatment is nasogastric tube or surgery
I’ve been put on a liquid diet with a partial bowel obstruction but the pain is absolutely horrific. I haven’t been sick though. Still waiting on a scan.
Hi,did it resolve or you needed an operation?
I feel you I get them every other year, at least you know the symptoms now in case it happens again. I usually already know it’s happening and go to ER, because I let them know I have a history of bowel obstructions, they usually do the CT scan right off the bat instead of trying to figure out what it could be.
Great video sir such a great😎
Thanks for this video! Gut health is so important for preventing constipation! Indicators of a healthy gut include: colon transit time of 12-24 hours, type 4 stool on the Bristol stool chart, not having diarrhea or constipation, having 1-3 bowel movements per day, and light-dark brown colored stools!
Absolutely outstanding! I look forward to checking out your other videos. I very rarely use youtube videos because they are lengthy, you get right down to the guts of it

Fantastic lesson!
Great video, used it to study for an NP school test.
You are a phenomenal teacher. Thank you
Multitalented my man…great knowledge and sick drawing abilities! Subbed!
Best I’ve seen, learned a lot so thank you. Your drawings are great!
No one else could have been better
You're lifesaver. Thank you so much for doing this.
How is he a lifesaver? Haven't offered a treatment
hope i get this question for my pediatric surgery exam tomorrow!!
Thanks so much from Colombia
I had Meckles Diverticulum as a baby and had to have surgery, so I am prone to getting obstructions. Over the past 10 years, I've had a total of 5 big abdominal surgeries to fix an obstruction. You can pretty much do algebra on my stomach now from all the scarring. Gut health is no joke and people should be more aware of digestion and eating as a whole in my opinion.
Yes. Makes me mad when people take the ability to eat for granted and just eat garbage all the time
I feel you I get the same from appendicitis surgery when I was 6.
You are a superb teacher !
awesome way to teaching a complicated topic , thanks , and plzz make about other important videos related to emergency medicine subjects
This is perfect for us visual learners! Thanks
