Examination of Lymph Nodes of Neck - Clinical OSCE - Dr Gill

[@havefunoutthere6378]

As someone who has had thyroid cancer spread to my lymphnods, I can really appreciate this video. I had a lot of attention placed on my neck's lymphnods, and i can tell you from first-hand experience that it was worth it. Great video!

[@DrJamesGill]

Thanks for sharing! I hope you are well now?

[@havefunoutthere6378]

@DrJamesGill After an 11 hour surgery, 3 radio-active ablations and 2 reoccurrences, today (20 years later), I'm doing great (knock on Woody). Thank you for asking, and again, great GREAT content.

[@starfishgurl1984]

This is so important yet often overlooked sometimes I feel like, in their late 20’s a former classmate of mine with no risk factors/family history was diagnosed with a fast moving breast cancer that had begun spreading to their lymph nodes and this kind of exam helped to identify it and get them the treatment they needed in time to go into remission and be declared cancer free. It’s amazing the power these exams can have!

[@OutgrownThings]

This video is all the evidence we need to confirm Dr Gill is the best ASMR doctor in the world. It just doesn’t get more intense than the ASMR in this.

[@rxiphias923]

He is good but watch: Cranial Nerve Examination Example from Neuro PACES, it's even better

[@MadelineAnastasi]

He is so kind! Can't help but notice the techniques to put the patient at ease: direct and clear instructions, advising of what happens next, "any questions?" immediately followed by "you may put on your shirt." Thank you, Dr. Gill!

[@brandonthompson1888]

I need this to be longer!!! Instant tingles… pure ASMR!

[@lindar5413]

I agree! Please ,Dr.Gill

If your on PC you can right click the screen and loop the video, idk if you can on mobile though : /

[@tavitafish]

All these videos are an absolute double whammy for me because Ive always had a hard time knowing what the doctors talking about and because my younger brother plans on doing something medical related when he graduates high school, so I send these to him from time to time

[@Sundayswingerz]

Educational ASMR. Simply the best content. Thank you, Dr. Gill.

[@panayiotissavvas]

Thank you Dr. for another perfectly pure video.

[@brittanycandace5112]

Have you considered going more in depth? For example when doing a lymph node examination explaining why you are pressing on certain parts or what the more in-depth reasoning behind certain areas of the body?

[@DrJamesGill]

That will be filmed in the next coming weeks 😊 I’m doing the demo The deep dive & anatomy

[@gabrielesimionato1210]

If I my add my 2 cents: I understand this is done for teaching purposes, but addressing the public would spoil the ASMR effect, because the focus is moved from the patient to the audience POW. I think that people who follow mr Gill for asmr, just like to "peek in" how an exam is done. But this is just my opinion and my feeling, so feel free to discard it.

[@MisterTipp]

I've been trying to find these nodes on myself but I have no clue what they are supposed to feel like, and I haven't been able find anything. What should they feel like, and what does it mean if you find them/not find them?

[@rhaehodges]

And certain nodes react to different parts of the body right?

[@charmingresignation]

@@MisterTipp it’s good that you can’t feel them! Most lymph nodes are not palpable unless they’re swollen, and swollen lymph nodes are often a sign of infection or (sometimes) a cancer.

[@markwhite1213]

I can't get enough of these videos. I guess that makes me a lymphomaniac...

[@SuppressWarning]

Up

[@contentviewer4795]

[@The_Real_Tunder]

My best guess is he interviews them before the exam and if they do have something he probably recommends them to their own doctor since already have their prior medical history

[@gearyofwar]

Check out the shoulder deep dive

[@DrJamesGill]

Yes, we didn’t expect that! But normally the students have no issues, as we need to train on “normal” so that any problem is much more noticeable to us clinically

[@NegotiableHemingway]

A Dr Gill upload at this time of the night? He knows!

[@sam__vieira]

He knows!

[@antm2296]

He knows but he never directly acknowledges the ASMR. The videos are primarily for the medical preparation for students but in his heart he knows he’s reaching out to us ASMR lot!

[@ianmcklatchie4390]

I'm stunned that the morning TV shows aren't begging at Dr Gill's door, for him to appear on their shows! We should all hope to, one day, have a doctor like this!

[@Kahalasama]

I like that he's a real doctor conducting an exam and not an 18 year old girl whispering.

[@guesswhat-chickenbutt]

Or tapping.

[@kittymervine6115]

Thank you, as too often a doctor will be pressing all over and I'm not always sure what they are looking at or for....plus the dental assistant does this sometimes. Finally I asked one, what was she looking for and she explained about lymph nodes. I thought that was pretty neat, that they do more than just clean teeth.

[@DrJamesGill]

It makes life so much easier when you understand what is going on We’ll be doing a more in-depth review of lymph nodes in a few weeks

[@justindesnoyers4105]

@@DrJamesGill I’m in nursing school and we were doing the head and neck and cardiac assessments clinical skills last week, which included lots of videos you already made.

Dr James you are amazing teacher especially for med students like me , can you make videos for med students like how should they study , what are the ways for studying with yieldly

[@joeparks3748]

As I’m sure you are aware people find these relaxing to watch for non medical or educational reasons. The term ASMR is often used. I had thought (until these videos became ubiquitous) that I was the only one that enjoyed medical and eye exams, haircuts etc. What do you think is the reason so many people enjoy these? Is the human race not getting enough physical interactions where we are touched?

[@scottjolteon9033]

Great video man, that was relaxing, though this makes be a bit anxious because lots of my lymph nodes are making lumps, we've checked a lot of them wirh my doctor a few times ago but I have an appointment scheduled cause I feel like more and more are appearing .. Hope this goes well and it's as relaxing as this one lol

When checking under the armpit how can you tell the difference between a swollen lymph node and an abscess?

Swollen lymph nodes are not hot, red, or possibly fluctuatant as you may see with an abscess.

[@SousChef1234]

Where is your regular assistant David Dorson?

[@kazuhiramiller1996]

Sometimes when I have a migrane there are exactly two points on the back of my lower skull. And it eases the pain when I or somebody else massages these two points. Now I see that these two points are in the exact same spot as two of the lymph nodes you have shown. Is there a medical explanation that lymph nodes can be a trigger or symptom for a migrane?

[@DrJamesGill]

It’s more likely that you are pressing on the nuchal line on the back of skull, or the external occipital protuberance This is where a number a muscles insert, and it may be than pressing over that area improves a tension in the muscle that was trigger the headache But certainly chat your doctor. A physio might be able to assist

[@thesavagesoutherner]

Shirt removal: 3.6/10 The guy from the shoulder exam really needs to coach these guys up. Just bad form, yet again.

[@gabrielesimionato1210]

Agreed. Previous contestants performed a fairly better shirt removal. But, in honesty, we didn't see the full athletic gesture in its entirety, so this could be an editing issue. I hope he will perform better in the 2nd trial.
