Nurse Changes A Wound Dressing | FULL EPISODE S05E21 | GPs: Behind Closed Doors

[@songbirds3712]

The young man with the infected finger was such a sweet and personable young man!

[@Greeley.d]

Poor Michael! I feel for that guy! Both and the nurse and the doctor seemed so sympathetic and patient!

[@Sewinginagarden]

It’s interesting to see the doctors bring the patients back to the exam rooms, draw blood and clean the exam table. Patients also don’t have to but on a gown. So different than the US! Wow!

[@river8760]

I love the in -house lab, I wish 🇨🇦 had that!

[@AuthenticMage]

Gown is only if you’re in the hospital in US

[@Sewinginagarden]

We put on gowns when in the doctor’s office too. Not always but if the examine involves a personal body part then we get a gown.

[@rebeccawright5987]

@@Sewinginagarden I was going to say, I put on a gown every time I go to the dermatologist

Awww as a Mum, that lad with the sore throat really tugged at my heartstrings. He is so stoic but you can see how uncomfortable he is.

[@melissajohnson2935]

I love doctors that like to tell stories. Makes them way more personable and likeable. Which means your patients will trust you and your opinions more.

[@kathyrizzi8754]

When people say they’re in pain, they don’t treat them as drug addicts like in the U.S. I realize we have a huge problem with drug addiction, but it’s not right to treat everybody as if they’re an addict when in fact they’re suffering with severe chronic pain.

[@tiffinyhunter5901]

As one with chronic pain from lupus and scleroderma I agree with this 💯!!!

[@kathyrizzi8754]

@@tiffinyhunter5901 absolutely, you’re not a drug addict!

[@theropesofrenovation9352]

Totally agree. Now they aren't allowed to give narcotics for acute pain. WTF???

[@courtneywalker3610]

Another person with chronic pain here, honestly hearing that is beautiful. No one thinks this these days.

[@domiro8156]

In the States, the attitude towards opioids painkillers has gone from one extreme to the other.... from seriously ignorant and irresponsible over prescription to refusing to help individuals, who suffer from devastating and GENUINE chronic pain.... It is revolting, cruel and not acceptable !!!!

[@donnarupert4926]

I love ❤️ this show so much!!! I’m a 30+ year Paramedic and I would love to work in this practice 🙋🏽‍♀️💕they’re so caring and thoughtful.

[@domiro8156]

I am also very impressed and grateful to paramedics for the work they are doing!

[@whatdoyouthinkxxxx8132]

Donna R. I know they are very nice and caring. But for the most part. Not very effective. If you are in pain.. they talk to you and take your blood and urine samples. Then minimize your symptoms and tell you let see what happens in 3 weeks to a month...

[@patriciafrederick1740]

The man with the infected foot should be in the hospital, 😢😢😢😢

[@elainepavek3156]

Donovan is absolutely LOVELY, what a caring, compassionate man❤❤

Donovan, you are a very special human being.... my heart goes to you!

[@adilasharif9383]

what a responsible husband. we hardly see any

[@marybuschbacher1883]

When the young man was talking about how it was like shooting flames it is so funny. Sounded like a volcano erupting

[@SundaysChild1966]

awww .. it must be hard for the docs to help people, all with a similar complaint - not enough sleep, can't get to sleep, wake up tired, exhausted early in the day. Makes me wonder what's going on in the world, is it too much screen-time, stress, diet .. something else?

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

You can't get a true cholesterol reading unless you fast before having blood taken. C'mon doctors.

[@sunnidays]

actually if you are not on a statin or other cholesterol medication it is not necessary - if already taking a statin, etc, some docs prefer you to be fasting I've done fasting and non-fasting with same results but I'm not on a statin

[@tootz1950]

@@sunnidays I've asked my doctor about that as I have to wait until after the test before I can drink coffee and both of them say fasting is necessary for a true reading. Now that might have changed in the last ten years or so, so I'm going to look into it for verification. I hope you're right because I don't really wake up until I've had coffee and it wouldn't be necessary to get up at 6 in the morning.

[@songbirds3712]

You are incorrect. It is not necessary to fast.

[@gloriakoch4764]

Such pretty red hair!

[@patriciafrederick1740]

how would the woman know if her cysts gets bigger??

[@desiree3488]

Do they actually treat anyone for anything. Mostly I see oh you’ll be fine in a few weeks.

[@BlinkOnWheels]

Because usually you will be fine in a few weeks

[@be4202]

It doesn’t seem like they do much testing, just go with their opinions and say come back if it gets worse. Like “ we’ll see what happens” especially with the man with leg pain and history of thrombosis.

[@tawahalp4716]

Oh my good cute kid

[@spookayitsme]

Why would these people allow a camera and microphone in to record a Dr consultation about a lump in your vadge?

[@whatdoyouthinkxxxx8132]

Why are he having migraines? Is it his eyes? Allergy? Why not a ct scan to make sure there nothing going on. He has had migraine over a month. Persistence long term with no relief unless knock out.

[@michellewanner3921]

It’s several migraines over a month. A CT scan wouldn’t be done unless her fails prescription migraine treatment. Sounds like he’s only tried otc med and rest and maybe a narcotic which can not help or cause rebound headache

[@TheSharronW]

Yep since it's just a new thing what's to say he doesn't have a brain tumour or something? Best to check it out before trying to work out a long-term treatment programme I'd say.

[@sunnidays]

he's had several over a month - yes they are new, but everyone's migraines are new at some point in time - if they scanned everyone that started having migraines without trying treatment first (which they gave him meds to try to stop the migraines) then they'd be scanning so many people that truly did not need scans - if meds don't work then they will investigate further

[@dorothy1]

Poor Michael later passed away.

[@tisa6193]

Thinking you might need a new doctor.

[@tootz1950]

The one dr. took blood for a cholesterol level but for a true reading you need to be fasting. And the other dr could have given a physical prostate exam to feel if it was enlarged. I see many 'Oh your fine' on these shows without tests. There was that one woman who had breast cancer run in her family and hers was hurting and the dr didn't even do a physical exam...she has a family history for Christ's sake.

[@be4202]

Did the doctor tell that male patient to have another PSA blood test in 5 years knowing it was somewhat elevated?? PSA should be zero. If it’s prostate cancer, in 5 years he will be dead!

[@augustabedwell1668]

I did

[@slc1161]

Doctors drawing their own blood tests? That is absolutely unheard of in the states. They would consider that beneath them. A lot of doctors in the states think MD means Major Diety.

[@marklasy6209]

They normally don’t in the uk, it’s rare maybe cos it was needed quickly normally the phlebotomist or nurse takes blood not the doctor.

[@AuthenticMage]

Say what you like about US healthcare, but here Michael would have been admitted to the hospital immediately. Also when I have a migraine. They’ll give me a shot of torridol. Which takes care of it within 4 hours. It’s not a narcotic so not mind altering. Dude is lucky though. When I get migraines they last 3-10 days.

[@elainepavek3156]

The only thing that helps a migraine for me is an injection of Imitrex, liquid gold🤗

[@tobadoba18]

I suffer chronic migraines and have had 2 rich red blood patches for Intracranial Hypotension (which means low Cerebrospinal fluid) which causes horrid headaches. I started Emgality Injections (once per month) and they have been a miracle. I cannot say enough about them. I went from a chronic migraine of about 5 migraines a week to zero. Now, if I get a headache I take some Excedrin and all gone. I tell everyone with migraines about these medications. There are 3 that are basically the same: Emgality, Aimovig and Ajovy.

[@sundoesshine8800]

Have you tried taking a couple sleeping pills (benadryl) at night with whatever else you take. Learned this as an adult and it would have saved me so many agonizing nights with migraines growing up.

[@BlinkOnWheels]

I’m on long-term stuff. Sadly my usual link for migraines is three weeks. It’s awful. They’re to the point where I can’t walk straight. It looks like I am drunk when I’m walking. Along with that, I can have trouble with speech. Then there’s a regular severe pain, nausea and sound sensitivity. I have a daily medication I take three times a day and a once a month auto injector that I’m taking for one year then I’ll check back in with neurology to see how I’m doing with migraines

[@BlinkOnWheels]

I take topiramate three times a day 50 mg and the Adjovi auto injector once a month can’t remember the dosage at the top of my head

[@spookayitsme]

Why are these people letting a camera crew in to record some of these issues?!

[@anne-mariezack]
