Really good QnA, what I liked the most was the part about reperfusion injury; I did not know you were an actual Doctor!
This video is so dripping in sarcasm it's basically marinated.
😂
i'm convinced he's made up some of these stories
Some might even say it’s dripping in it
I've missed these.
Dr. Francis is British, and like all British people we are steeped in sarcasm just like tea is steeped in hot water.
4:50 "A doctor's main job is talking to their patients."
This hit me since I go through a hyperthyroidism treatment in Germany and talked with couple of doctors.
And they all asked me if I have further questions.
And when I did, they were really invested in clarifying what's up.
I intended to get operated in the city I grew up because I didn't want to be alone while recovering.
But I met a surgeon who won my trust by explaining the operation really thoroughly.
She received the same operation I am about to get, showed me at the end of our conversation her scar and said:
"You'll get a much smaller scar because I'm better than the surgeon who operated me."
It might sound arrogant but she said it so matter-of-factly and nonchalantly, I felt safe in her care.
I'm generally a rather chilled person but my surgeon's confidence gave me even more reassurance:)
The fact she said it so nonchalantly would have absolutely made me feel better and more secure too.
If it was a doctor who was clearly inflating/shielding their ego I would have been worried/panicking because you'd be left wondering what corners would they cut or risks would they take purely to protect their ego...
I'm glad your surgery went well and I hope your quality of life has drastically improved and stayed that way :)
All the best from the UK
My wife’s surgeon won me over pretty much the exact same way. Its pretty easy when someone knows something vs when they believe it.

@@MedlifeCrisis to be fair (and sorry if other people have already said this) it sounded like they were trying to say *they* were failing their first year, not that *you* were failing.
On the placebo answer where you used paracetamol as a hypothetical, I've actually been faced with having to give placebo to my grandma instead of paracetamol.
She kept taking it every time she "had a cold" when she was still relatively healthy. Eventually we noticed that those colds were just her feeling a bit down so we discouraged it. Then it all snowballed, the "feeling down" was actually alzheimer's, she was taking paracetamol way more frequently than she should, and got extremely aggressive if we refused to buy it for her.
So I bought some starch tablets online, put them in empty pill bottles, got some stickers on them, and convinced her that the brand had changed their packaging (meds are usually individually foil packaged here, so I had to use my one bottled medication to prove that they could come in bottles too; unbeknownst to her, those were the exact same bottles I'm using for her "paracetamol").
She still takes them every time she is having a bad day and magically feels better once she does. All is good.
Her liver is probably thanking you very much
I'd give her a herbal pill so there's still something that can maybe calm her which is good with dementia. Try something like passionflower or lemon balm.
That's a tough one. I guess, for me, it's acceptable because your grandmother is not mentally capable of understanding why and how she's doing herself damage. Using deception to properly medicate young children or animals would fall under the same kind of umbrella. But that's a very different thing if the person doing it is a loved one who's taking responsibility for the person with diminished capacity, compared to a doctor. The relationship between doctor and patient vs. elder and caregiver has very different boundaries.
I gave harmless aqueous cream to an elderly patient who was convinced he had a rash and had been seriously overusing hydrocortisone cream. Worried like a charm.
Understanding the placebo affect thoroughly, i would consent to people giving me placebos without me knowing for things like pain, low mood, nausea and anxiety. ( Once it was clear that the placebos did help and no medicine could safely help more. ) The placebo effect is a wonderful switch in our brain and we should use it as much as we can.
i love how rohin answers questions with sarcasm and disdain and then goes on a 5 min serious diatribe too lol

Why is your comment in quotes? Who're you quoting?
I see 2 different specialists for 2 different health conditions, the medicine necessary to treat Condition A can cause Condition B to get worse, so I keep getting told by one doctor to take it, and by the other doctor to stop taking it. They spoke to each other about it and said they couldn't agree so I should talk about it with my GP and make my own decision. GP says because he isn't a specialist in either field he doesn't feel comfortable advising me, so I should decide for myself. 3 people who have been to medical school leaving this decision to someone who has a Brownie's First Aid Badge and has watched a few episodes of Casualty is insane, and makes me as the patient feel stressed not empowered.
Thanks for sharing that perfect illustration of how unsatisfactory this can all be. Very frustrating for you.
Yeah doctors need to collaborate better so they can better advise you so you can make a decision and feel confident in it.
It's your desicion, hopefully they explained to you the consequences of either choice. But they can't make the decision for you.
I'm sorry it feels stressful to you. The thing is (and Rohin can correct this if he sees fit) it sounds to me like the effects of taking or not taking that medication are symptomatic. If either taking or not taking the medication would shorten your life or cause worsened disabilities, then the doctors need to tell you so. But apparently they haven't told you that, so I'm guessing it won't make a difference in those ways in the long run, at least AS FAR AS THEY KNOW. If that's right, then really it's a question of how badly the symptoms affect *your* life -- not the various doctors' lives, but yours. But it would be worth asking the two specialists whether taking or not taking that medication will shorten your life or make you more disabled in the long run.
The question the doctors can't answer is: do you feel better and function better if
a) you take the medication, and Condition A is better but Condition B is worse, or
b) you don't take the medication, Condition A is untreated and therefore worse, but Condition B is better?
If I were in your place, which of course I'm not, I'd try it both ways (with and without that medication) for several weeks each time and see which one goes better. That's actually a good question to ask your GP: how long a time does he think would be a reasonable trial? Also, it's helpful to write down how bad the symptoms get on each day of each test, if you do test it, so that you're not depending on your memory.
@@miashinbrot8388I specifically didn't mention the medical conditions and treatment involved, so I don't know why you've made so many assumptions about what my doctors have or haven't told me, whether the conditions are symptomatic, and what the potential outcomes are. In this my case, one of the conditions leads to blindness and the other is potentially fatal. One is detectable primarily through blood tests, the other is symptomatic once damage has already been done. I have found a treatment plan I am happy with, I wasn't asking for advice - I only commented about my situation as it is relevant to the topics that were raised in the video.
Re: turn it off and on again - I had a nerve injury from a bad blood draw and my nerve sensitivity lingered for a long long long time. I had to go in for an unrelated surgery, and being under general anesthesia for even 15 minutes erased a majority of that over sensitivity. Wild what turning it off and on again can achieve! I am now living a 99% normal life with only mild occasional reminders that I was injured (for now)
EDIT: A surgeon saying "we knew all our patients inside and out," made me giggle more than I think I should have haha
You wouldn't believe the amount of comments I get from irate people (let's be honest, Americans) who are enraged by how I say "med-sin". So for this video I decided to try out saying "med-i-sin". I did not care for it.

I work in a nursery and it's interesting to see the differences between CPR for children and adults. All my kids act like drunk lobotomised people to begin with, I wouldn't know how to notice a neurological deficit if they survived CPR
Haha! The one thing I’ll say for kids especially teenagers is they are as tough as fuck. I’ve been involved in some cardiac arrests of kids that most patients (ie over 40) just would never survive. And they did great!
Considering children’s brains are underdeveloped then maybe they do just have a permanent neurological deficit that they grow out of.
As I side note, I always thought children and the more intelligent great apes sometimes think in similar ways. I wonder if underdeveloped human brains actually bare much similarities between those of great apes.
@@jaymercer4692 Considering that humans literally are great apes, the similarities are substantial, not just for children, but adults, too.

I recently watched Hannah Fry's BBC documentary on cancer treatment and it raised some questions about informed consent in my head. In one clip we see a doctor discussing chemotherapy with a patient. She goes over possible outcomes, how likely the cancer is to recur with/without chemo, etc. The patient decides to proceed with chemo and when she is interviewed by Hannah Fry after the consultation she says "Well, the doctor said that the cancer is pretty much definitely going to come back if I don't have the chemo", which is not even close to what we had just heard the doctor tell her. Between the obviously emotional and stressful situation and the fact that some of these statistics are quite difficult to get your head around, she was making decisions based on very little understanding of the situation.
I definitely think giving leaflets or some other written info source you can take home can help because even when I'm level headed I still forget the exact information given to me by doctors. And taking someone else with me doesn't always help because their bias impacts what THEY remember and it just clouds my memory rather than make it stronger.
WRITTEN information helps some. But there used to be a saying that a doctor (with MEDICAL TRAINING) who treats him/herself has a fool for a patient ... no one has a cool head about their own outcome.
Congrats on half a Mil! I definitely need to hear more about the Colonel - that raspberry story was hilarious

"You don't build an audience with normal advice" is the "you don't make friends with salad" of content creators
It's not salad it's taste. I can make friends with salad because I can make hardy tasty salads. No-one is hungry after eating a salad I make.
Which brings me to vegetarian food. I don't know about other places so much but in Helsinki I've noticed that every restaurant that serve only vegetarian food sell bland food. It seems they do not know how to use herbs and other spices. On the other hand if I go to a restaurant that specialices in burgers their vegeburgers are always tasty. Same goes to every kebab place where their falafels are tasty. Why don't specialist vegetarian restarants know how to make tasty food?

Doctors can and do make mistakes. I was diagnosed with emotionally unstable personality disorder. I hadn't heard of this, so I went away and did some research.
Whilst I do meet some of the criteria, I discovered that autism is often misdiagnosed as EUPD in women. I asked for a second opinion and, as I suspected, I am actually autistic. That fits me and my experience, which gives me a greater understanding of the struggles I have and why.
You can be autistic and also have EUPD or BPD
Ah yes, the good old 'excuse me I think I *might* actually be autistic, here's the evidence I found, if you please' dance so often performed by undiagnosed female autists. Glad it worked out for you! Got my diagnosis a few years ago too - makes a big difference!
just say bpd bruh nobody calls it that except asshole uneducated doctors.
Yes. To be fair eupd shouldn't exist, as it's sexist - mostly women are diagnosed with it, and it doesn't take into consideration whether the person has experienced trauma
Autistic people tend to have higher rates of cptsd
Also rejection sensitivity dysphoria, which would be easily confused with fear of abandonment in eupd
I watch a lot of different people on youtube I can safely say you are the youtuber I would most want to have a drink down the pub with.

I had Kawasaki's syndrome when I was around 6 years old.
At first they had no idea what was wrong with me. They tested me for lyme disease, all kinds of viral infections and nothing came out of it.
Then they sent me into a better hospital in a distant region where they finally (after a week of testing and speculation) found out what was wrong.
You are definitely right that individual practitioners do not encounter these diseases. It took a specialist to know what was up.
It is a rare condition though and even so rarer at my age.
I am glad that kids that have / had / are going to have this after me can get better care.
Although I suffer permanent consequences I enjoy the thought that I was a laboratory rat that is going to save others.
I am so so happy for your positive view that patients looking up on their condition and being a good thing. Personally we experienced certain doctors are super mad about patients looking up their condition online. We suspected my father had Addisons disease because of the variety of tests except for one for Addison was administered to him. 2 yrs we spent going round and round of doctors not finding anything wrong with him but we watched him deteriorate day by day to a twig. We were lucky to find a gentleman of a doctor at the end who finally did all tests again and didn't skip Addison's and he was finally diagnosed and put on right treatment. My father was second patient he came across in his 30+ yr career. And he is writing a whole case report to share with medlcal community now. Forever grateful for this kind of positive attitude towards trying to be cognizant of patients need to learn more about their issues.
I ended up being diagnosed with secondary adrenal insufficiency triggered by one or more of the meds I'm on that impact the HPA axis. I'm glad that I didn't have Addison's as until I saw my endocrinologist who recognized the symptoms immediately (constant daily vomiting of everything that went by mouth, severe nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness and a unrelenting craving for sodium chloride aka table salt that for about 30 minutes would relieve a bit of the nausea) as prior to this I was only being worked up by gastro for gastro related reasons for my symptoms and neuro was working me up on whether my dysautonomia was worsened (yeah, it was). After endo started me on hydrocortisone, all of my gastro symptoms went away (my mind is still blown by this one......).
I'm glad that my adrenal insufficiency was only secondary (I still produced a small amount of cortisol because if I wasn't I could have died) and not primary (Addison's). However, now that I have been on steroids for some time, I'm considered to be highly dependent on it as I'm still on the likely trigger meds (4 of them, could be just one, could be a combination) and God forbid I end up in the hospital, my endocrinologist has advised that if the hospital won't get my steroid needs correct then I manage them myself. At least the good thing about the hospital is that the attending that I'm assigned to is more than happy to let me control my insulin needs (because having one endocrinology illness is apparently not good enough for my body) and my steroid needs as he has experience in dealing with patients who have just one condition or the other but I'm apparently the only one who has both and he would rather I follow my endocrinologist's orders and keep myself at a relative status quo.
I suffer from depression, and luckily that's one of the conditions that's pretty easy to figure out if you have it (sadly it's not something you can really treat effectively on your own), and I found googling it to be pretty validating and comforting. I've also just always had an interest in mental health, even if I lack the resources to study it academically, or to treat people like I used to (and kinda still do) want to do
My doctor gave me the highest dose possible of an NSAID for chronic joint pain but didn’t really explain anything about it like any potential side effects. Granted, I’m perfectly capable of reading treatment guidelines on my own and researching about the medication on my own. But simply wish they took the time to explain it in the office.I always feel like they don’t have time for me when I’m there.
It's usually the pharmacist's job to provide this information to the patient.
23:17 I was talking to my dad, who is a GP, about cancer diagnosis. He said that he sees around 4-6 cancer cases per year of which half are "obvious" and half are "non-obvious". This was in regards to politicians saying that GPs are terrible at diagnosing cancer. Cancer is apparently everywhere and so people assume that it's at least weekly when it isn't even monthly and when it does come around it may be "non-obvious" and it may lead to a wrong diagnosis or a referral - he has admitted that he has given misdiagnosis but he always outlines the observed symptoms and recommends seeing him again if anything changes, so far he hasn't killed anyone (although someone has tried to sue him for a misdiagnosis that was dismissed because none of the symptoms present and the tests conducted suggested cancer and that she didn't see him again after symptoms changed).
I just messaged my dad about patients searching their symptoms and he said that it is fantastic because they are informed about what things can be and they are thinking more objectively about their symptoms. He said that he does not take what the patient thinks as a diagnosis, easy job done, but it provides a better method of diagnosing as the patient is an active participent.
Edit: after writing the massive block of text below I wondered what he thought about patients who came in asking for a medication rather than a possible diagnosis, as I expected that he dislikes it. He dislikes it because patients come in and when they leave they want to have got a certain medication and they may have been given a different one that does the job but in a better way or that they had skipped over getting an accurate preliminary diagnosis and looking at cures without finding out that they don't have the symptoms of the thing they want to treat. He also mentioned that his encyclopedic knowledge actually makes some patients trust what he says less because they cannot fathom that he knows everything about the mentioned drug and therefore he thinks they think he is making it up.
(btw, having a doctor as a dad is amazing although I think I bore him asking him to inspect anything that looks even slightly dodgy. Anything past a spot or if I already know. But he says that it is better to be sure.
I'm also fairly sure that he is part book which would make me part book too. He knows what every medication does, dosages, what other names it has, and side effects with rough chances, he knows every medication for a specific ailment too, so the reverse. I have never caught him out even when making up medication names that are similar to existing medications and asking if I meant another. His memory is insane. He is also able to profit free drug merch with it not affecting his judgement because he knows the medications and where this specific drug is compared to others, he just loves getting as much free stuff as he can, as a result I have lots of drug merch (I'm using a trustlocums notebook (not all are drugs) with benecol post-it notes and my trusty viagra pen). I mean, all doctors I know love something that is free, cheap bastards)
You dad sounds awesome!
I wish my dad/doctor would know all about different medications, I'm on so many prescribed by different doctors and I have no idea if they know what they’re doing haha
It is psychologically impossible for bribes and gifts to not twist his judgement, but he sounds like a lovely doctor.

Speaking of placebos, I have a blister pack of two tablets that is prominently labeled "PLACEBO." I cadged it from my doctor. He went to great lengths to inform me that it doesn't really do anything. He finally let me have it when I explained that I just wanted it as a conversation piece.

It's interesting how you mention injecting air into an artery as a big fear, and how the bubble will remain in the artery blocking flow. I'm a chemist and we work with high pressure pumps all the time and I've had multiple occasions where I've gotten air into the pump in one way or another, and it's become something I dread as well.

I legit queue up all your q&as and listen to them nonstop. So glad I discovered you! Thank you for being you and educating all of us!
Something for all of us to consider...people have great variations in their comprehension of vocabulary which worsens with specialized jargon, medicine being a good example. My mother was being questioned prior to surgery and was asked when she last micturated. I am a word lover but that was at the fringe of my knowledge. After a minute I was able to translate, "She means pee, Mom". Add anxiety and time pressures and it gets worse. Increasingly, in the USA, we are told to have a companion at medical appointments of any importance because so much is missed or misunderstood.
Here's to 500,000 more subscribers, you deserve them (and they need you).
I felt i almost choked on my tea at "Off with her head!"
I just want to thank you for recommending the Nebula/Curiosity streaming feed. I have enjoyed it immensely, especially having access to your extended videos. Additionally, I was thrilled to see several other "evidence-based" creators whom I follow on YT posting their content as well. Bravo 👏👏👏
As a 7 year cancer patient spending so much time in and out of hospitals that I start to feel at home in them, it is a great pleasure to laugh at your sense of humour and hear a relaxed physician discuss your role. So many people complain about our publicly-funded health system and when they do I just shake my head. My medical care has been incredible. I am only grateful.
You do a fantastic job finding just the appropriate level of detail for each answer. Great job.
I’ve always loved listening to medical stories. A friend of my brother works in a dementia and elderly people ward and he has stories that range from the hilarious, heartwarming all the way to quite sad.
Adam Kay’s this is going to hurt is an amazing read for anyone who found those stories about the Colonel entrancing.
I’ve always felt jokes and funny stories from the medical world are quite important. I’m all honesty I sometimes find myself afraid of doctors and have delayed getting myself checked because of it. Listening to Rohin reminds me that everyone there are just people doing their best as well.
"... bang on the table and tell them about your killer cabbage dream... they will fast track you... somewhere"

The names of medication: I got an antihistamin for my pollen allergies that was called Xyzall (so something that is supposed to work against all allergies: X,Y,Z ALLergies which never occured to me until my dentist pronnounced it that way...)
Thank you for bringing up resuscitation and informed consent. I agree that the main thing we need to be more comfortable doing is expressing a clinical opinion based on our knowledge of our abilities, presenting pertinent information about clinical realities, without FORCING patients to go one way or another. It’s really hard and an important skill that gets looked over by our current training system. Signed, a palliative care doctor
I don't know why, but there's videos are far more informative than any textbook, I mean the information given here is just pure gold.
on "informed consent", for many people, it turns into "how well do you trust an expert" & "how well do you think the doctor understands the state of current best practices and risks/rewards" (i.e. do you think this particular doctor is actually an expert)
And the doctor displays that via educating the patient, of the patient feels like they can somewhat understand and come to the same conclusion, then that's how one can gauge if doc knows what they're talking about. If you are the expert, explain it, if you cant explain as far as I know you dont know shit on this topic. And explain it simply, you cant explain it simply you dont understand it well enough to be advising the patient.
yay! a whole hour of you being you Rohin, AND Q & A, yay, yay, yay - and *congratulations* 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

You are a good CZcamsr in the best possible way. Engaging peronality, and giving out good intel.
I was on the borderline for statins. As I expressed some reluctance, my doc suggested red yeast rice
as an alternative to "Lipitor" (or whatever the generic was). I bought a bottle, went home and checked out things on the internet. Turns out the active ingredient is pretty much the same as "Lipitor" but there is some toxicity. Called the doc, gave him links to the studies. He later thanked me and ceased to recommend it to his patients.
Excellent, a rare combination of great education and entertainment. Major congratulations on your (almost) 500K achievement. Certainly well-deserved. A couple thoughts: (1) I seldom see anyone discussing the current and future developments in A.I. applications for the medical field. This is such a game-changing evolution I'd love to know where it's headed. I had heard about the superior diagnostic ability of A.I. use in mammography but I'm sure that's just the tip of the iceberg. Your thoughts and visions would be appreciated. (2) Once you have become Supreme Ruler of the World, I suggest new legislation requiring pharmaceutical companies to devote 20% of their after-tax profits to the study of supplements. Thank you for 54 minutes (actually, more like 2X or 3X that number for entire production) of outstanding info.
Thanks for the subtitles and congrats on the optimistic 500K Q&A. Someday before the sun goes red giant; fingers crossed

"They will fast-forward you... somewhere"

Astonishingly informative, kudos sir.
The newest trend in medicine is ‘shared participation’. The patient stays awake during a procedure and must hand the surgeon the medical instruments. Sometimes, for poorer patients, they are also required to do the closing stitches.
The surgeon who assisted my primary surgeon was tasked with taking the wires out of my hand. I was told 10mins before the (simple) 45min op and was taken completely off guard by it.
The young lady was having a hard time with the second wire - it could feel her gripping it, only for the instrument tweezers to slide off it again. She asked me "you wouldn't happen to have a copy of the X-Ray, would you?"
As a RMT & undergrad Ex.Phys, I replied "I actually do." And pulled up the photo on my phone as she tinkered away at my hand for a few minutes longer before exclaiming and sliding it out.
The X-Ray confirmed she was in the right place, and that my tissue was simply giving the wire removal processes a hard time.
My med professional friend thought it was hilarious. My non-med friends were bemused.
I had to pause the video to laugh about the Colonel. I had my appendix removed three weeks ago and laughing after having that done to me would have been a disaster. 🤣
I found channel through suggested content, like the humor of the video, loved the wittiness, heard of the plateau in subscriber, immediately subscribed.
Waited until you hit 500k. Congrats!
congrats on getting 500k subscribers (almost)
I’m cleaning out my cellar and this 54min miracle couldn’t have come at a better time 😁
I've just discovered your channel, great sense of humour!
As someone who has a condition that almost every doctor I have ever met has referred to as a complicated case. I feel that in some situations shared decision making can be a viable option, after thirty years as far as my own condition goes I think I have earned the right and acquired the knowledge I need to help decide about any treatment plan etc. 💜
Edit.. I can confirm that being surrounded by neurosurgeons and entourage at ward round was intimidating, at first. Until I learned the joy of consultant baiting, then it became quite entertaining.
Wdym by consultant baiting?
@@v0id_d3m0n just using a bit of humour and piss taking...
When you're in a life threatening situation you find any reason to laugh 💜
As a recently-graduated medical resident who is still frequently a member of such entourages, I am intrigued and curious what the condition is haha. Btw your dog is super cute
@@monkiram I had an astrocytoma inside the spinal cord that went from the base of my brain to my shoulder blades.. cue several operations, radiotherapy etc. This was in 1993 I was given a life expectancy of maximum 10 years but I am still alive and annoying consultants to this day 😃 not without my disabilities but in the circumstances I'll take it.
Thanks she's called Neena, she's my 50 kg monster the biggest of our three rescues.
Hope that is comprehensive enough, it's a long story to condense 💜
And congrats on graduating, I spent many nights with student and resident Doc's, I always had a reliable supply of chocolate and a willingness to be practiced on 🤣
Congrats on almost but not quite getting to 500k at the moment. (I'm trying to not say something about about premature celebration, it would just come off as being a double entendre, but it's hard, so very hard)
This is the first video ive ever watched of you but thats the best best beard ive ever seen on a human being ever
Here is to the sweet engagement and good luck for the next 3k subs
you love to see a fellow frasier fan succeed
Those stories about the Colonel did my an injury. You're a good story teller, impressive impressions.
LOL the intro SHADE. Loving it!
Congratulation on almost 500k subscribers
It's criminal that you only have (just under) 500K subscribers.
I loved the question about informed consent and making decisions together. It's a very important topic. In my experience doctors are so unwilling to get into any real discussions with their patients that they intentionally omit very important facts and seem to hope the patient never asks. The result is that any consent is as far from informed as possible. And sometimes they don't ask for consent at all, simply get nurses to inject medication into the IV fluid bag while the patient is hopefully looking the other way and apparently counting on the patient being too sick to stand up for themselves.
I absolutely need to hear more of those funny workplace stories, I love them
Those two clinician stories were hilarious, thanks :)
Congratulations on 498,000 subscribers! Hope you hit 499k one day!
As a radiographer who regularly does coronary angiography and their work ups for cardiologists I agree with the tier list for arteries. Circumflex sucks but I also love the random natural variance of a ramus.
congrats! and just a few days ago I saw you entering a pub I was sitting in, now I feel I should have bought you a drink, I promise I'll do it if I see you there again, thanks for all the educational laughs
great video love it
I really enjoyed your answer about placebos. I've become interested in open-label placebos, and have recently started experimenting (on myself) with using a placebo for some of my breakthrough chronic pain relief. All with my GP's knowledge and encouragement. Not going rogue, lol!
I wish there was a third option for resuscitation. Resuscitate me, and then if I'm severely disabled afterwards, euthanise me. It's crazy to me that there's so many DNRs, and it's all because our society won't acknowledge that people in these situations should also get to choose (including preemptively).
Because that's the route I would choose. Resuscitate me. If it goes well yay! If it doesn't and there's no sign of recovery then just euthanise me. Yes I know there's still going to be in betweens, but my standard would be after being resuscitated and recovery, if I can make it clear I don't want to be euthanasied and can clearly understand that, then the euthanasia is off.
Serious. I think we're leaving people with a hard decision and guilt because if they choose a DNR, then they have no idea what might have been. If euthanasia were legal and accepted, we could make a more complex decision.
I think the issue with that is that if the patient survives but is mentally disabled to the point that they can't express their desires, then they would have to be left alive since it would be impossible to tell if they have changed their mind.
Enjoyed. Thanks
Always an absolute pleasure to watch these Q&As! Gotta learn me how to run some bots to get to 600k lickety split
I'm really surprised you don't have millions of subscribers! I asked some of my medicine friends who I play soccer (or as I believe you Brits call it, Wicketball) with if they had heard of you and they hadn't. I would have thought they would all get at least some of your videos on suggestion. What do medical doctors even do in their spare time? Could you recommend me a neurologist because it breaks my brain that you don't have half a million yet.
Dude I would do Cardiology just to work with you for the rest of my life....because of your teaching style. I feel like all your trainees pass their exams first time.
Congratulations! 🥂
Showing 500K today. Congratulations! 🥳🥳
Congratulations on your 500k subs, Rohin. Live long and prosper.
I always tell new doctors on our meeting, "You have four years of college, then medical school, interned and had your residency. Maybe you've gone on to become a fellow so there's all the time you spent with that all while treating patients. I trust and honor your commitment. I on the other hand have 66 years studying my own symptoms and have become the world's foremost authority on the subject. Working together I hope we'll both have a long and successful collaboration."
I love your videos! Already subscribed and always pleased. THank you.
What an absolute chad. Well deserved!
Congrats on 500K!! Was watching Liverpool game last night and could have sworn that you had scored a hat trick. I'm sure you're as good as Salah.
Regards
I use the placebo effect on my kids all the time. A hug and an otter pop are sometimes the best medicine.
As a non antive english speaker you got me curious, what's an "otter pop"?
When i was a child i believed bandaids actually healed the wounds they covered. though not the fancy ones with cartoon pictures, i thought those were fake. just the boring Real, Serious ones that adults use.
I AM SO ANNOYED BY THIS VIDEO
My sister is about to become a doctor and is the funniest person I know (personally). It is extremely annoying to be around people who are naturally funny AND clever and I am having this yucky envious feeling again watching this video. How very dare you Sir!
Mad respect fam
LMAO @ "Journal Editor"! Great work; insightful but entertaining- thanks!
