One we’ve finished the pure examination videos, I think we’re going to try “scripted” patient assessments. So students acting conditions, allowing things such as balance problems to be addressed

[@keepcalmandmarchon]

@@DrJamesGill That would be fantastic to watch. I have been basing how I take my case history with the patients I am seeing right now off of how you speak to your mock patients in these videos. They have been so helpful and I can't thank you enough!

[@noah2418]

@@keepcalmandmarchon how's the doctorate going? As a high-school student with lifelong hearing loss, I've been wanting to go into the field after school.

[@keepcalmandmarchon]

@@noah2418 It has been challenging especially with having to go without seeing patients during the height of the pandemic but all things considering I am greatly enjoying my work in the field. Coming into the program I wasn't entirely sure of what to expect. We have a fairly wide scope of practice and as someone who has APD I am pleased to continue to learn more about all the different therapies that can be used to treat people with hearing loss, vestibular disorders, APD ect. Two of the girls in my program have congenital hearing loss so I would 100% encourage you to go into the field. You will have the first hand experience of knowing what it is like to have a hearing loss and it will help you to empathize with your patients. Definitely look into all the programs around you first and see what makes each one unique and what area within the realm of audiology you might want to concentrate most on.

[@jkardi9803]

I really love that you explain what you are going to do and then get verbal consent....maybe it is a US thing, but it is rare that a doctor or nurse of any kind would ask for consent to examine. They usually just tell you what to do and you're left feeling you have no choice. It is super refreshing to hear.

I can barely remember a time without neck pain 😫 I ruined the muscles in my neck in an accident when I was 17 and my whole spine has suffered the impact over the years so now (at 38) I pretty much have constant lower back pain caused by the original injury to my neck

[@DrJamesGill]

Do you still have on going care, there are many things we can’t fix, but few we can’t improve

[@rageagainstthebath]

My mom used to have paralyzing back pains. She told me once she's not going to be a crippled old lady that is a burden on her son. She started attending fitness / wellness sessions, fixed all the problems with her back. A few years passed, she recently finished her training to become a fitness instructor. She's gonna turn 60 next week, and my gift will be some cash to get the paperwork ready for her new carreer. And THAT is how you fix your back pains.

[@DrJamesGill]

That’s great to hear! Unfortunately not all back issues can be fixed with physical therapy, but there are many that do It’s terrific to hear she is going into the career that helped her 😊

[@Inquisidor117s]

As a med student, your videos are really helpful and appreciated. Now I have a guide to follow for my own examinations! Thank you for doing them

[@DrJamesGill]

I’m so pleased to hear you find them helpful. 😊

[@softouji]

I love that he always asks permission before approaching or touching the patient. So respectful 🥰

[@DrJamesGill]

It’s their body, and the only way to engender trust is through earning it - especially for nervous patients. Treat everyone to the same good standard, no one loses from that

[@robalvarado514]

This is 💯 why I got into ASMR in the first place!!!! When I was a kid, every year I’d get my ears checked because I did have hearing problems, and ear surgery in my youth. But when the doctor would whisper to me and put his tool in my ear to see what was wrong with my ear, he’d look inside my ear for honestly like 15 mins each ear and be whispering the whole time what he was finding. Ever since then, the tingles he would give me made me realize it was ASMR and that tool I’m so obsessed with cuz it felt good in my ear. So to conclude, Dr Gill using this tool and looking inside brings me great joy , I only wish he’d look in her ear longer and whisper to her what he sees LOL I just rewind that part over and over

[@ALieFly]

same. ill rewatch it 100 times

[@wizardgaming6759]

2:31 I always liked how you actually spend time looking into the patients for possible problems. My doctors just look in each ear for like two seconds.

[@71723]

Not a med student, but I do like the idea that the examiner controls when the patient should stop hearing the bone-conducted sound, and not just waiting for it to stop.

[@snorgonofborkkad]

Yeah I always noticed that too. You can’t qualify the air condition if you just wait for it to stop.

[@DrJamesGill]

Technically it should be left until the patient volunteers they can’t hear it without intervention. But I’ve found this makes a smoother examination
