Ollie my friend, you are single handedly the greatest and most thorough and well balanced content creator relating to medicine, I’m sure it will also apply for other video ideas you decide to bring forward! You have won a loyal supporter 🤝🤝🙏🏽

Hi Arooj, thanks so much! Really appreciate it - it's really important to me that the stuff remains free for that reason! All the best for the new year :)

[@aroojqaiser23]

PostGradMedic wish u a great new year ahead with lots of success...

[@irenedavo3768]

How are you doing?

[@wt1836]

Thanks as always Ollie. Maybe a video about what to think about when treating a patient? - E.g. - GP Consultation Patient Requesting Experimental Pain Meds Where Unconventional Treatment Is Not Working - Balancing: Patient's rights/Patient autonomy - Patient Centre Care Does how well informed the patient is affect decision making Patient safety - Side effects, ADRs Unregulated/Unknown treatment Doing good - Treating patient vs. Doing nothing Doctor's responsibilities How the 4 pillars would be applied in these more practical situations

Twice I have had private healthcare locally for 2 very different problems. Firstly, was that I had rather foolishly hurt my back when helping my Dad move a fireplace so my mother put me in touch with a Holistics place where they were able to see me at short notice. I was lucky enough to see a young man from the North East of England who specialised in dealing with back pain. The place charged £18 per hour. Within 2 visits I was as good as new. Second time was to see a chiropractor from our town. He charged £26. He was helpful in terms of useful advice and giving his qualified opinion but I didn't really like his intrusive questions in to my personal life or his rather snobbish judgemental attitude. For this reason I would simply not go back to him.

[@irenedavo3768]

That was cheap!

[@irenedavo3768]

18 Pound Session or hour?

[@FLASH24x]

Thank you so much! Can you please make a video about the Bawa-Garba case?

[@seprishere]

I think most optical care in the UK is private? A lot of dentistry too?

[@garryhuntington9585]

Thank you for the video. Can you do a resilience one? Got my interview at Warwick soon :)

[@OllieBurtonMed]

Scripting a resilience one as we speak!

@@irenedavo3768 great main thing is being kind and confident

[@neilburns8869]

In terms of Mental Health the NHS is short-changing its patients because of how it divides up it's annual budget. As things currently stand about 25% of everything the NHS does is related to MH. But it only ever sees about 10% of the annual budget. Simply not good enough. But I suppose it's a case of out of sight, out of mind.

[@irenedavo3768]

Wow! Oldie not seen this comment!

[@bethtremain3409]

Great Video! I've been hearing a lot about politicians talking about 'selling the NHS' when it comes to the UK-US trade deal, what does this mean?

[@OllieBurtonMed]

What this means is certain contracts that the NHS needs fulfilling being sold off to private companies. For example, you might need an IT system to serve a hospital - the government can either pay in-house staff to do it, or hire a private company to do it (which is increasingly happening). A key example is NICE negotiating with the US on drug tariffs - at the moment this brings down drug prices in the UK and in other countries, because they don't want to pay more than the UK pays. Part of the NHS being 'sold off' would end this negotiating and lead to a huge hike in drug prices and give US drug manufacturers full access to the market.

There's a newly built NHS hospital on the West side of our town. I say newly built, it was opened in December 2018 so just coming up for 3 years. It's completely single occupancy rooms, and mostly on the ground floor. However I feel that making it completely single occupancy was a big mistake. I can understand why they would want plenty of single occupancy but I think that they have put all their eggs in the one basket. Many times I have heard stories of people who perhaps live on their own & have maybe had a very traumatic and complicated surgery but their recovery doesn't always go as well as hoped but yet put them into an open ward surrounded by other people and they are fit enough to go home within 48 hours.

Hello

[@Zking950]

I don't see the sign up for your mock interviews

[@OllieBurtonMed]

It's not a public link just to stop me getting completely inundated - drop me a message through my website!

@@OllieBurtonMed thank you

[@Sixmanclan]

You said one misleading thing. The VAST MAJORITY of medical school is NOT funded by the NHS. Only your 5th year (and 6th if you are doing a 6 year course) is paid for by the NHS and you are given access to a meagre £1000 bursary (+ a bit more means tested, total of about £4.5k if you qualify for everything). So you are still on the hook for about £80k in fees and living

[@irenedavo3768]

I have questions about NHS Consultants

Im a nhs nurse, i would highly recommend you get some private healthcare, because a lot of care provided by the nhs is utterly appalling. You may have to share a bay with a insane junkie and some dementia riddled granny that keeps trying to attack you with her zimmer frame. Xx

[@irenedavo3768]

Really

[@retinapeg1846]

Insane junkie? Dementia riddled? You're a nurse. This is why I'm going to medical school in september to get rid of people and highlight idiots like you.

[@LeahRebecca]

oh my I didn't realize privatised healthcare could be that bad in the long term
