Ongoing Back Pain | FULL EPISODE S04E23 | GPs: Behind Closed Doors

[@MH-hw4uh]

These doctors are amazing, they are able to diagnose within a few minutes, just listening to the patient and or examination. Just remarkable.

[@anne-mariezack]

I'd love to see the doctor who seems to be so educated regarding muscles and nerves. He reminds me of a neurologist who specializes in movement disorders.

[@victoriakefer9863]

Always a pleasure to watch! I learn so much from this program. The practitioners explain things so well, and are kindly straightforward. Excellent show!

One thing I like about Dr. Jim O’Donnell is that at the end of his visit he doesn’t suddenly change from friendly and caring to having a robotic quick clipped manner and speech as if to hurry the patient out the door but he smiles and acknowledges his patients as they are leaving. It always looks strange to me that the doctors on here are pretty nice but almost appear to change character and ignore the patients suddenly at the end of the visit, turning their back on the patients and staring at their computer or repeatedly say a robotic hurried clipped goodby . Leaving the sometimes anxious patients to see themselves out. None of my doctors have ever done that. They always acknowledge you as you leave and even hold the door for you sometimes. Not like I expect it. I know they must be on a tight schedule though. But so are my doctors. Even so I realize the poor doctors are probably doing the best they can. 🤔😏 But kudos to Dr. ODonnell for going the extra mile!!! 🥳🥳🥳

I like Dr. Bulger. She seems very sweet and caring. 🙂 Back pain is NO JOKE. I inherited my dad's crummy back and some days it's quite painful. Chiropractic care has greatly helped me.

I love the music!!

I am impressed with the NHS GP doctors in that they do a lot of education of their patients and they aren’t hesitant to bring up things like mental illness, cancer, and the like. Much different than the states, where nurses or medical assistants do the bulk of education. In fact, I haven’t seen a single medical assistant. And the rare times I see the patient referred to nursing, the nurse is doing additional testing or procedures on the patient, much like nurse practitioners do in the United States.

[@vango7499]

The reason why medical is so thorough in the UK is because the government pays these doctors to treat their patients. Here in the United States of America insurance companies pay for the patient so that's why there's a service and a fee for everything they do in america. They don't have medical assistance because the government in the United Kingdom don't believe in them. You have the receptionist or nurse practitioner and a doctor that's it there's no reason why you need to see five different people before you actually see the doctor and half the time you don't even see the doctor and half the time you're being gasolated in America I can see why a lot of people in America move to the UK because the services are much better for the people.

[@camstone5001]

Dr. Bulger is so kind, wish she were my doctor

[@be4202]

I like Dr Bulgar, she is so caring.

[@christinerichardson6900]

😢I know that feeling....the pain I go through daily isnt nice at all .(back pain)

[@patriciakeats1621]

Dr. Bulged reminds me of someone. I’m going to keep it to myself.

[@kdgenereau5535]

Our American GP's could learn from them

[@MH-hw4uh]

Exactly !

[@kathyharbert6187]

Keep in mind they know they are being filmed.

[@slc1161]

Really interesting how the medical system supports and integrates alternative medical practices such as chiropractor. Too bad the United States doctors don’t. Always pushes surgery. And most insurances in the states don’t pay for that type of care at all.

[@marywagner9927]

That’s because it is a sham.

[@laurahahn2025]

A lot of plans pay for chiropractor visits. Mine also includes therapeutic massage.

[@larissa_7729]

Did she say a 10mg metoprolol for that bp of somewhere near 191/85?

[@patriciakeats1621]

Bisoprolol.

[@jacquelinegoss3438]

[@karinasanchez3285]

🙌

[@anniecastiel1632]

I have to say it’s quite odd to hear a patient with type 2 diabetes, overweight be told to reduce exercise and take more pain medication. 😮

[@EmilyEverglot]

Would have been great if the GP had reasured the diabetic women that ill people ar NOT A BURDEN! This is something that is essential for a GP to assure a patient because in an ablistic world people are often shoved aside and discriminated against becuase of a chronic illness or chronic health condition.

[@tisa6193]

I thought that she did!?!

[@jennifercox1935]

Love love her purple hair she's she's beautiful,lady

[@brayleighhope4246]

How can you keep smoking after your doctor tells you that your heart is beating irregularly due to smoking? That’s the epitome of stupidity.

[@robertamcmunn3642]

The first Doc looking at the little girl was useless with kids. The second one not much better. The Irish Doc treating the baby was Perfect.

[@nicholamalpas1931]

Yes, the first doctor was gruff. He wan't even trying to put the little girl at ease. Unusual these days.

[@wandamanske8667]

Most doctors not that nice!!

[@wandamanske8667]

In America

[@thelanguageofthebirds]

They are filmed lol

[@erinjames4024]

So these quick fixes used by mainstream medicine directly contribute to a persons demise. Very rare will these Drs ever see people with strong immune systems in their office- apart from bone breaks, emergency car wreck type of incidents.

[@susanmitchell9257]

Seriously hair on your chin!!!! Aren’t there sick people waiting

[@rockchick0367]

My thoughts as well.

[@kathleen2080]

It’s best to rule out polycystic ovarian syndrome.

[@slc1161]

So new hair growth over a year required her to make an emergency visit? Since when is facial hair an emergency?

[@carolgreen5448]

She is at a local practice not ER. :)

[@Ladypuppy510]

It could indicate a thyroid problem

[@CoolPonies]

It was a booked appointment, not emergency

[@shortcanuckcanuck9741]

This is her doctor’s office. You make an appointment. I

[@gloriacharbonneau4054]

My goodness the lady with the purple top has the biggest ears I have ever seen on a woman. She definitely should let her hair grow to cover them.
