[@michelledillard6316]

Me - not a surgeon Also me - spends 1/2 hour trying to learn this surgeon’s knot.

I've just tied my fingers together and I'm also now attached to a chest of drawers, I do not have scissors within arm's reach. I have failed.

Lol. It would take me a week to learn this.

He slows it down for us even and I’m still here lost as F about how he even did it 😂

Me too 😂😂😂

Every little girl who grew up making friendship bracelets could do the forward knot in their sleep! 😊

[@repentandturnfromsin]

Your comment brought back memories of charm bracelets back in the 80s 😊

[@kathleencavaco8201]

Love this surgeon for his slow & wonderful instructions ♥️♥️🌺

[@shamikataylor571]

This man has such wholesome and informative videos♡ I appreciate the efforts of him and his team

[@amylemaster1609]

That’s why I bake cookies. Never could figure out that knot after a surgery.

[@networkoperations]

Amy! 😂

[@ryanfraser2618]

Never opening that dishwasher again

I aspire to be a neurosurgeon someday, you always inspire me.

[@lynndinovo3500]

Go for it. We need more surgeons

[@msbeecee1]

He has such a gentle demeanor ❤

[@jenniferd264]

I can’t keep my shoelaces tied lol I can only image my Patients falling apart 20 minutes after Surgery 😂 Those knots you tied are staying put! 😊

[@kennethfeltman7693]

Thank you for bringing us all into the world of surgery

[@parimalaseebi1106]

Thank you doc 🙏🙏

[@njmaryannez]

I remember scenes in the TV series ER where the young surgeon (Eriq LaSalle) was constantly practicing his knot tying. I’m sure it took more than a week to get the basics.

[@jenniferd264]

Omgosh! I totally remember that! lol He was always doing that!

[@bc2647]

This is incredibly Awesome 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Thank you!!!!!!

[@margaretk9351]

Oh, very interesting! I rewatched a few times to follow along with you. As a matter of fact, I was able to follow the backward knot easily after you slowed it down, and I could then follow it easily from the beginning when you did two backward knots in a row after the initial forward knot when you started. I had to watch it a couple of times to see the forward knot. I 🤔 I finally got that one! In crochet, there's a crochet term where the yarn is wrapped around the post of the crochet stitch called around the post and also behind the post. It's actually similar when you see the results. Cool, Dr. H! Thanks for showing us this!

[@kimeverhart6253]

You are just the best guy, Dr.H.!

[@amberh8118]

I always wondered this. Thank you so much.

[@sallydavidson4471]

I can't even keep my double knots from coming apart on my work shoes!

[@wholeNwon]

You learn to do this and several others during the 3rd year of med. school.

[@elizadawne3896]

Im not a doctor but I learned how to do sutures because part of my job is to remove them. I wish my knots would have looked that good. But thankfully I will never suture anyone. It’s above my pay grade. This knot is still cool though

[@lovingatlanta]

👍🙏💝Thank you because I needed to know this just in case I’m ever in the wild and need to suture something cut or severed. 🙏💝

[@mickblock]

All I know is when I got my forehead stitched up, I was very thankful for the nurses ability to keep things moving.

[@jen24gibson1]

You have a beautiful hands sir… if you are out of your current job as a surgeon…you should do hand modeling 🥰

[@susanmoreland2312]

Fancy!❤

[@jenniferd264]

😂

[@kathystclair9485]

I just found your channel last night. Just through one short KZbin message I knew i wanted to be a subscriber. You are one of the few down to earth doctors I have heard. Your soft spokenness is truly comforting. I'm sure your patients find it so also. Too many doctors lack this quality.

[@wendy8561]

This man has the best information education for us out here just getting surgery makes me feel better about the situation which is coming soon

[@lisapapandrea5]

You are fun to watch! Challenge my skills as an RN! 😊 love your quizzes!

Yep That’s how learned too I used to work in the OR for PEDS open Heart team as an assistant

I admire and have the greatest respect for you

[@conorlinehan4434]

Surgical square knot I believe. Very useful knot to know in many applications. Approximates things easily and well.

[@monicaclark9581]

Thank you Doc for this nice tip. I'm not that mentally dexteritous, even crocheting is a challenge for me. But I will keep this info in back of my head for future use. 👍😁

[@karenlowes7802]

Interesting to know! I love learning new things as a senior.😊

[@captainhowdy-13]

I’m a fisherman and suck at tying knots. I can’t seem to get my head around the “simplicity” of it all.

[@suzannemenuet947]

Hey, as I watched this, a commercial with you came on. I'm sorry about your son, but I love how you're trying to help others.❤❤❤

[@magicalpatterns]

Omg I learned this from my mom, she was an expert in fabrics 😮

[@lindap6696]

Thank you for sharing!! Things a lot of us would like to know, just didn't know how. Keep it coming.

[@kristinnorton1653]

Incredible ❣️

[@lisas2538]

Now, I’m in the kitchen with a string when I need to be vacuuming. 😂😂

[@prometheus140]

I tie my shoes like this everyday!

[@rayfuller4460]

I learned this from watching Grey's Anatomy.

[@magdalenapichler4182]

I always tie backward knots, but with both hands. I should learn your technique

[@DeniSoars]

It’s like making a friendship bracelet 😊

[@marygoff3332]

I have granite very similar to yours - ❤ it!

[@tootles4272]

I love watching you

[@katetellef3172]

Ok. Never mind that I am not great at math here’s another reason why I am not a surgeon…KNOTS!

[@chrisrandolph1970]

It's ok, because this guy isn't good at math either... especially after drinking 5 shots of water.

[@--Skip--]

WOW! Soooo cool! ❤❤❤

[@veganfromvenus]

My brain can't make it happen

[@FeCyndiW]

My late husband had some weird circle stitch after a lung surgery. I think it was where the chest tube was. (He had multiple surgeries for cancer.) It was pre-vaccine/Covid start time. He did not want to go in to remove his stitches because he was in chemo/immunocompromised. I had a heck of a time trying to get that one out. It was really tight and I could not get in to cut it. I did manage to get all 79 of his craniotomy staples out- they gave me the proper staple remover. But, he ended up going in to get that stitch out. I felt a little better about my lack of skills when the doctor had a hard time removing it. There are some fancy sutures out there.

[@kaypendergast5676]

I wonder... do you knot 6 times or is it just once?

[@plummer43]

Depends on the suture type and the site you're placing the suture at

[@rockchildofthe60s69]

When I was doing my paramedic rotations I ran across a doctor who was notorious for teaching paramedics how to do stitches. Actually he thought paramedics should be able to do stitches so I learned but not on a dishwasher but a real person lol

[@marthamuller1757]

In my last surgery, for colon cancer, I got staples.

[@Sharon...]

I know how to do it now....wheres my scrubs?😂

[@haydeefm7414]

I'd have to go to Med school just to learn how to do that knot. Kudos to you, Sir.

[@cvent8454]

I just found you and love you❤❤❤❤

[@Platizza]

Whoa so cool. Im gonna try it on my dishwasher too, 😁. So what makes these knots special? They use combination of forward knot and backward knot, so as not to come undone? Or better for better scarring? Or does it make it easy to cut out?

[@daisymay9236]

Wow..ur fast!

[@flynomo]

Exactly why I am not a surgeon

[@rochellefox5941]

What can patients do to relieve the removal pain from the sutures?

[@tempadunn6079]

I think that would be hard with gloves on. Thank you for your videos. I like them ❤

Bracelet knot!!😆

[@mathnerdm]

If you were really tying, would you be driving your knots down with your index finger?

[@marykelley782]

Reminds me of 🧶 crochet.

[@kellygarnet6329]

I crochet and I think I could tie his knots no problem.

Yes, though he wasn't laying it down squarely.

[@HHSMCJROTC]

I wonder what the utility of doing that instead of how anyone would. That seems so complicated I would think not learning that would be a better use

[@cf2993]

Optical Illusion! ha I've tried these suture ties, watching other DRs videos.. I will leave it to the experts!

[@pamchappell8258]

Why are they tied that way? You said there's a forward knot and a backward knot. Is it so they don't come undone or is there another reason? Interesting 🤔

[@zakriaahmad906]

Love from Pakistan brother

[@MK-ft3qt]

So tying it like you tie your shoes won't cut it?😅😅
