[@DrHopeSickNotes]

Thank you for my splendid outfit Papa! It was a great to be pop over to your channel. If anyone has any questions for me then let me know below...

You should make a video of going to the hairdressers .... getting a haircut is always stressful, even more so in a foreign language! 💇🏻

[@xangxung1672]

YES!!! Been living in Melbourne for almost 2 years, and goingto hairdresser is always kinda stressful

[@papateachme]

For me that would be a very fast video

[@papateachme]

But yes you're absolutely right! I need to make that one

I love how both of them are appreciating each other's knowledge and showing interest in what the other says. It shows how humble and genuine they are. Thanks for the video, I learnt a lot from it even as a medschool student. 😍

[@yasminletter8932]

You should NEVER say or imply that if a person has cancer,that person is dying.Many people are watching around the world, they may be struggling with it themselves and I don't think they'd like to be told there's no hope for them. Despite that comment, I loved the video.Very useful and informative, as usual.

[@guidomarchionni3253]

I'm an italian doctor. Sincerely I didn't know the used acronyms: FIDO and SOCRATES. Thanks to learn this.

[@papateachme]

Do you have an equivalent thing In Italian?

[@guidomarchionni3253]

@@papateachme In Italian, w're not so used to acronyms, as in English or american English. But in Medicine things are chainging now, and you begin to find some italian acronyms. Bur not yet during the physical examination. So, in this case, we italian doctors don't you use similar acronyms. Best compliments to your blog. I'm trying to improve my medical English, because often I visit foreign people, specially from Africa, and they don't speak so well italian, but prefer English.

[@michelangelolarosa4777]

Thank you so much for this video. I am a physician and I frequently have the opposite problem. Often , I can’t find the words , visiting an english speaking patient. Please , keep it up !!

Thanks soo much for your video. It so helpful here. Now if I went to doctors I could fearlessly say to them what problems I have. I m so grateful that I can follow you and study with you.

[@papateachme]

Always be fearless 😎❤️

[@CrisaContessa]

Well.. As a Real GP that stationed at ER, please teach me how to explain to my patients about "how to take your drugs or medications". I once had a patient from India, and I told him "please take this thrice a day" and he didn't understand (no offense), so I changed to "take this three times a day", is that correct?. And any other term like "once every 2 days", or how to apply cream or ointment and etc ... I mean how to make it simple so my patients could understand. Terima kasih, Thank you💕

[@LifeinRussiawithDanandTim]

Thanks for the new lesson! Your videos help my brother and me to expand our English after returning to Russia from the UK!

[@mamymimma]

For three weeks I've been having a cold with cough :( The doctor is very clear, I'm going to see his channel - thanks a lot!

[@bibimauritius8528]

A big 👏 for both of you. I really appreciated the way you've been describing every single words like : taking medicine, passed out/ faintef out and so on. The most interesting things that has pleased me a lot is the written sentences with words highlighted. 👍🙋

[@bibimauritius8528]

It would be fantastic if one day you come to Italy really. I would be pleased to meet you, to converse with you and to see how far my english is good on the spot when talking to an english native. I live in Milan and don't know anyone who is english native. "So sad". I really like english Uk not american english. Or may be if you give courses on line for conversations , I would be interested to join your classes. Thank you

[@Cristinglish]

I would have needed this doctor 8 years ago when I went from a simple gastroenteritis to a peritonitis (in 24h hours) due to a bad diagnosis.... And after surgery I developed a nocosomial pneumonia (Hospital Acquired Pneumonia) with a pleural efussion. So there you go, more vocabulary. I had to learn it when I moved to England whenever I went to the hospital, when they asked me about surgeries and major injuries: 1. Peritonitis: it is a massive infection. It can be caused for example when the apendicitis bursts (explodes, breaks). It's very dangerous and if not taken it on time it can end up in a massive septicemia (a massive failure affecting tissues and organs). It can kill you and it's very very painful (I will never forget that pain). 2. Gastroenteritis: it's the inflammation of the gastro intestinal tract. Can cause diarrhoea and vomiting. Usually you just need to have a plain dietary plan and it should be back to normal within a few days. It causes dehydration. 3. Pneumonia: infection in the lungs. It usually has pus, and there's a need of antibiotics to kill the infection, however it can take longer if it's viral, as antibiotics can't fight them. 4. Pleural efussion: when your lung/s fills up with pleural liquid (this liquid is normally and safely stored around the chest area, and they keep the lungs lubricated). Sometimes they need drainage (I needed this), sometimes it's very little and the body gets rid of it by itself.

[@papateachme]

Oh god. Sounds awful! 😮

[@Cristinglish]

@@papateachme I've got a very 'lovely' scar in my belly that reminds me how lucky I am to be alive. I spent almost a month hospitalised.

Sir really you're by far the best teacher for me that I've ever seen in my life.

[@q.f.f.]

i just realized that I’d been going through many of your videos and got carried away so bad that I completely forgot to thumb the videos up. I’ll make it up to you tomorrow, i swear down 😀. And thank you a lot. It’s far and away the best channel i’ve ever happened to come across. You are doing a really great job.

[@enriquevalencia2295]

[@nasimaazad1371]

Please do one video on how to discuss your child's learning with his/ hair school teacher! It's hard to discuss absences , misplaced PE kit or homework with a teacher.

[@jackiearantes]

Even when I wasn't really struggling with my English, i had no problems with doctors. I would even try to prescribe myself!

Great video, you're using excellent medical vocabulary. Thanks.

Hey Aly .. great video as usual but i've a request .. would u please do a video explaining why we use do before verbs like "i do believe u" and what's the difference between this sentence and simply "i believe u"

[@juanmanuelfabresbriones5378]

Wow Aly! Very useful and practical as always. Thanks so much. Actually, I had a little accident while in the UK and it wasn't easy to be precise and accurate about the symtoms as I was in pain. You definetely need to know how to refer how you feel and some basic vocabulary.

[@hazm2020]

Hi papa ,I am a new doctor in UK, I need to improve my listening and speaking skills. I have some difficulties in understanding peoples . Could you start an organised series of lessons in the form of conversation between doctors and patients, or doctors and any other health staff. it is a working environment conversations. What is your advice to improve my listening skills????

Aly, you are such an eclectic Teacher, you always manage to surprise us in one way or another. Spiffing video lesson, thanks very much! (I learned this adjective from the splendid Lucy 😃). And big thanks to Dr. Ed Hope too. P.S.: For the stomach I suggest you to drink a huge cup of marigold herbal tea every evening 🙂

[@catis.5586]

Can you please explain to me what «dull pain» means. Thanks in advance.

[@mirandabee2323]

A "dull pain" is not as strong or as intense as a "sharp pain." I think dull pains sometimes last a long time. Example: When I accidentally hit my knee very hard, it was a sharp pain. A minute or two later, the sharp pain became a dull pain: my knee was sore and it hurt to touch, but I was able to move without the pain getting worse. The dull pain lasted for the rest of the evening. I hope this makes sense. I am not a teacher, I just happen to speak English (American English, by the way, so I might use or spell words differently than Papa or Dr. Hope).

[@BackdropStories]

I had an experience when I was working in Qatar. A patient from Indonesia was telling the Doc he wasn't feeling delicious that day. 😆😆😆

I been to a Dr because I have problems with breathing. Everyday at work a few times I just had to stop and manually force my self to take a deep breath because I felt like IAM going to collapse. Now when I went in they did the routine and ask me a few questions. They made me buy this item to check my lung capacity at home and they said they will call me to give back the results. They never called. In the meantime I changed working place and the problem I was having went away. Now they did mention it that I might have a slight asthma. But they said they won't send me to a firm check up because it would take ages anyway. So many times I promised my self that I will never go to a Dr again because they don't give a f anyway they just need to be there and listen to people's bullshit to get paid.
