Thank you again to the sponsor BetterHelp! link to 10% off your first month betterhelp.com/KharmaMedic 💭 Really happy to be back 😁 I’ll be making this into a series for all the specialties I rotate through so look out for more videos 🧡

[@harithar4065]

we would also love to watch videos like in general, productivity, day in my life, etc.. for non medical viewers too ! 😊

[@PokhrajRoy.]

We look forward to seeing videos on the various specialties.

[@user-eve001]

Why is there no translation into Arabic Nasir?🥲🥹😭

[@abdulazeez.98]

I am a junior doctor and these videos are extremely valuable! thank you for making them.

Congrats!!! - from an mbbs student from India.

[@joanneshaw3071]

Can I just say thank you. I’m a nurse and a few weeks ago I had to do CPR on a patient (I was working in a aged care facility) When you were talking about DNR/CPR you said how traumatic it can be on the patient and the person performing CPR. I was shaken up for quite a few days afterwards. I was fortunate as the patient survived (she started breathing after a few rounds of CPR) When we send a resident to hospital, As much as we try to document all that has happened and or the residents history on our transfer to hospital form it’s hard to capture everything they need to know. It’s amazing what goes into caring for a person as all the health care professionals involved. When you spoke about “difficult/emotional” discussions you have to have with the family, that’s so hard. I have to have those discussions regarding end of life or palliative care with some families before they are referred to SPACE (Specialist Palliative Care in Aged Care). You seem like such a genuine caring doctor

[@Amelia.foster22]

ahh welcome back! sometimes i still can't believe you're a doctor now! since the last video I've been accepted into my top hospital to be a plastic surgery nurse and as a rotational post too seeing another ward and the burns unit. Seeing you as a new doctor helps me come to terms with qualifying this year as a nurse and going through the whole process of slowly gaining more responsibility as you settle in more.

[@abhayganti8662]

YOOOO as a high school student, will always stay watching your videos mate, love that you're back ! you're a huge inspiration lol

[@paulmurger2371]

Very interesting video Nasir, so good to see you back everytime you release a new video ! I'm a 4th year medical student in Geneva Switzerland and this is so valuable for me as it gives me a better understanding of what I can expect going forward as a junior doctor in 2 years. Thanks a lot for what you're doing, and wish you a lot of good things in medicine and life in general !

[@dinaisakov]

Hey Nasir! I have been watching your channel for a while now and am about to finish my first year as an undergrad! Honestly, being on the pre-med track is tough, but thank you for always being here for all of us and for being so transparent about your journey. It's honestly helping me become more confident in my pursuit towards getting into medical school and becoming a physician! I really appreciated this video and the details you gave for this specific rotation. I look forward to the future videos as well!! I know you have a lot on your plate, so I am wishing you well, the best of luck, and maybe one day I'll see you in a very fancy international doctor meeting of some sort ;D

[@laispiaz]

I missed you so much buddy! You're such a lovely, ethical and cool doctor, so proud of all your effort 🔥🔥 always happy to enjoy another dose

[@tiffanytesta7826]

Thank you for sharing your experience, I'm a med student from Italy and I'm looking forward to the series!

Good Job really. I met you on the ward we had TB patient together and had to decide on discharge plan. When I met you, I didn't noticed you are new doctor or not experienced so really good job. 😊

[@spencerswaggington]

I missed your videos so much!!

This video really reminds me of my Sociology of Health and Illness Course where one section was on geriatric care.

Nice to see a blooper again.

[@akashnine]

Oh my god, I missed you so much doctor❤❤

[@harshithpodila5406]

Hey Nasir! Always love seeing you put out videos! I had a doubt since you worked in Geriatrics. I have my grandmother at home, she's over 70 years and is very frail. I've always been told that when someone collapses and has no pulse, you start chest compressions and call for help. But since in this case, my grandmother is frail and delicate, should we perform CPR? Since we're not in a medical setting, how do we decide in the moment of we should perform CPR? Should we try it regardless?

[@Under439]

Cool video! Also, we miss your old intro 😭

[@kawtarouzakri8721]

I really enjoy it I love it thank you

[@Dr.stoic007]

Great video. Interesting to see what is it like to work in geriatrics. I’m curious if you are still going usmle ?

[@sersi8698]

NASIRRRRRRRRRR WE MISSED YOU BUD!! Take care !!

Yeeees I mean always a pleasure watching your videos thankyou...much lie from africa

[@markpatrick5246]

i cared for both parents at their home before they died - my mom just died last month - nothing prepares you for all the medical issues when an elderly parents tips over ie mom had heart and kidney failure, diabetes, edema,afib etc - the last 6 months of her life were so intense and filled with suffering - both mental and physical......she wanted to die at home and she died in her sleep next to me - i often wonder if i took her back to the hospital if she would still be here since in the last 2 days she was tachardic but sleeping and i couldnt give her heart saving meds to lower heart rate...hospice told me to give her dilaudid instead.

[@user-xb9se1yw8u]

I am a high school student. Thank you for the video that motivated me to study. I have a month left for my exams😭💔

[@raquelmayorga3833]

When do you choose speciality?

[@petercheung0445]

Hello Kharma. Can you make a video about how to maintain a relationship or friendship? Because I am not good at it. I saw your video and understand you used to study 8 hours every day but you can still maintain friendships with your friends very well. Are there any tips on it?

[@toxicvm26]

Well come back to another dose .. 😏 I am so excited 😁

[@NoLimitsMD]

Nice bro!

[@Rakyr]

I am currently making the switch to medicine and I was wondering...were all of those years studying worth it for you? I am weighing it up and any context would be of great value!

[@thespecialone86]

When will you upload the graduation vlog? 😅

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Medfluencers have taught me that the history changes from medical student to superior.

Hey mate, hope you’ve been enjoying FY1. I had a question about OSCEs as I know you smashed them. We’re doing our 3rd year ones soon and been told it is better to not narrate during an examination. Is this the rule that you followed as in most your videos you do commentate during OSCE examinations. Know your busy but any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey Doc 👋 I am studying immunology and microbiology, but it seems to me really difficult to understand. Can you please help me or other students in this regard Make a video on how to understand immunology and microbiology effectively ❤ By the way, keep doing it ❤
