Dr.Gill is such a huge avatar of ASMR. He is the paragon of relaxation in his natural demeanor. If he was the one who told me 6 years ago that i got an ewing sarcoma in my spine preventing me from walking, i would have been instantly set in a relaxed positive can do attitude. Back then i used humor as a coping mecanism and still do. If anyone is wondering im all good full remiscion and i got my legs back but i was worried for months at the time.

[@DrJamesGill]

Gosh. I’ll be honest, my jaw dropped reading that initially. I’m so VERY glad to hear you are in remission!! 👍👍

[@HaydnG266]

Yeah my jaw dropped too! What a story (and a bounce back, great stuff)

[@dicein6]

Just keep on doing your thing man!

[@mexitalican99]

And what's crazy is that his channel isn't even trying to be about that ASMR stuff but is ironically better than most channels dedicated to just that lol You're videos are awesome Doc 🤘🏻

[@augustihelvetet]

When you said you were interested in data of the effects of asmr, and I immediately thought of “the asmr psychologist”! She’s based in London and talks a lot about psychological research on asmr. Thought it could be interesting for you!

[@DrJamesGill]

Thank you. I’ll see if I can find any of her research

Dr James Gill I think you always do, not sure where those comments come from you mentioned towards the beginning. What little I’ve seen, not sure you’re the ‘type of person’ who can pretend to be someone you’re not! p.s. loved the (attempt at) Derbyshire accent!

Dr Gill: "you need to get 7 hours of sleep" Me who just find 30 min Dr Gill video: "yeah not happening tonight!"

[@michaelbacon8698]

Because of Dr Gill I'm able to get 7 hours of sleep now! His videos have truly made a huge difference in my life. His calm demeanor and soft approach puts me right to sleep and even during the day I love relaxing to his Audiobooks series. ❤️😴😴

[@goblingunk_]

I rarely would make it through 30 minutes of him speaking without falling asleep without being wide awake.

[@Pappysjuice]

Ever since I stopped drinking I’ve gotten 7 hours of sleep a night. It feels great.

[@FBuilding]

@@Pappysjuice I second that. I still have the occasional small beer with friends, but having a low alcohol consumption is improving pretty much all aspects of life, sleep included.

[@Pappysjuice]

FBuilding don’t get me wrong I’ll still have the occasional dram of Scotch or Bourbon. But I feel so much better cutting it back drastically.

[@cintaka8784]

OK I need to say something. First of all, thank you for this video and for all your work, I like how you're always very didactic and professionnal. But I think you underestimate how important your work can be in other people's life ; I've suffered from chronical insomnias dues to an hormonal disfuction for years, leading to depression, with horrible episodes at night. So I usually watch ASMR and other videos to help me relax and try to actually "be myself" as you said ! One day I found out that clinical examinations really trigger me into relaxation but I always find them too "fake" or very non professionnal, until I watch one of your video. You genuelly made me very interested by medical examination (up to the point that I really memorised all the key steps just because I found it so fascinating) when I was trying to relax. Your videos were a refreshing moment of relief, for my brain of course, as I could focus on something, but at a more "spiritual" level too, because I would be so relaxed, that the night wasn't so frightening anymore. Thank you for that, and for all your work Dr. Gill, which is, as a The Man ones said it, brillant. Ps : sorry if my english is not perfect, I'm a little bit rusty.

[@DrJamesGill]

That English is brilliant! Thank you for taking the time to write it I’ve never really had the gift of other languages

It is incredible to me that a Doctor actually embraced the ASMR in his voice. Finally! I am a big fan of clinical examination videos. They make me relax really well. They're quiet and peaceful, and on top of that, very informative. I've learned so much simply by watching or just listening to them. In summary, it is very cool that you're a KZbinr now and ASMR-content or not, I would love to just learn more about you and am excited for your next videos. You seem like a super cool guy! I really need to visit England. Maybe you could even branch out and do some vlogs or something. I think the community would like that!

[@annacurran6195]

Dr. Gill is bringing the simple ASMR back (my favourite kind)

[@kleopatra540]

this is the most wholesome Q%A on youtube

[@Despr3]

Hey Doc, Med Intern from Chile here, I've been watching your videos for sometime now for both medical and relaxing purposes, and I must say you've been helping me a lot at conducting my exams as well as comforting the patients while doing the exam. There's something about how calm a doctor looks and examines a patient that really helps them out feel a little bit good and safe, and they have told that they feel that way when I examine them. So many thanks for the lessons as well as the sleep hours I had! Keep up the good work!

[@DrJamesGill]

Super! That’s great 😊 thank you

[@promiscaliz]

Great to know that I'm not the only one from Chile!

[@boriswilliams7355]

[@anaxmariax2573]

It may sound strange but i have a very bad insomnia and your videos helped me so much. I have no knowledge in medical things but i find so relaxing and interesting these videos. English is not my language obviously, but i try to show some love and respect for this legend right here!!!

[@msaditu]

Dr. Gill, you come across as a wonderful, kind human being and a very compassionate doctor. Your patients and students are lucky to have you. I want to thank you for all the time you put into these videos. They help me to relax but I have also learned a lot. Now I know why some examinations are done when I go to the doctor. In my experience, doctors don't always explain why they are doing certain things.

[@DrJamesGill]

unfortunately time pressures often mean that the medicine takes priority over many other factors

Keep on keepin' on, Dr. Gill - you clearly inspire so many people. Your videos are brilliant! Lots of love from Ireland!

Congratulations on your 10,000 subscribed (and growing!) channel. Thank you so much for indulging us by answering some questions and giving us a peek behind the curtain that is Dr. Gill. I empathize with the extroverted introvert thing. Peopling can be incredibly rewarding but exhausting at the same time. I just recently shared your gifted voice with a work colleague of mine who also enjoys ASMR. She was complaining she had been waking up in the middle of the night lately and was unable to get back to sleep. The second she heard your voice she said, “Oh yeah...I’ll be turning this on if I wake up again.” Thank you for helping so many.

[@nathana4546]

I love this guy! I am not even no where close to being a doctor but I love watching Dr. Gill!!!!

[@MrBrad248248]

More clinical examinations please dr Gill, I watch your videos every night just before I fall asleep in a fully asmr induced trance . Back when I was a child at school ( I’m 44 now) I first experienced this strange phenomenon, although I didn’t know what it was and I certainly didn’t tell anyone about it as it sounded too weird. The most memorable and the most euphoric experience is when a certain teacher leaned over my shoulder to help gently shade a drawing i’d been working on, at the same time almost whispering in my ear instructions on how best to add texture e.t.c. All I remember thinking was please don’t stop, I need this feeling to go on longer, my body was in a total state of relaxation almost paralysed with euphoria. For years I’d never met anyone who’d experienced such a thing, until one day when my then 8 year son came home from school and said ‘ dad I get this really weird feeling when I watch someone write something or draw , it feels really nice, and if I watch their face concentrating on doing it that makes the feeling even more nice’. I couldn’t believe it, so it could be hereditary? I’ve never actually looked that up ! Anyway now of course we have the internet and KZbin and now hundreds of asmr videos. I think it’s hard to get the full effect through a screen , yet some of the videos still have a nice relaxing feel to them . However your vids that fall into the unintentional asmr category are one of the closest I’ve got to feeling the full effect . Wow I was just supposed to be kindly asking to continue with the vids, ended up going on a bit. Thanks for the vids and keep up the good work 😁

[@godbelow]

Doc, I know you're doing admirable work, and you're probably making pretty good bank. We're all asking for longer examinations, and audio books, because people just want to hear your voice and demeanor. When the stress and long hours of the medical world gets to you, you've got a career in voice work.

[@DrJamesGill]

you can't stretch an examination longer than it is. As something takes as long as it takes, but more importantly, then you are not being truthful to the patient. I'm certainly going to finish Three Men in A Boat, and then will see if there is interest in doing another. For me they are useful to do whilst waiting for people to be available for the various examinations
