You should do a book titled "101 Experiments you can do with your baby" - Basically a book with a bunch of interesting developmental experiments done on babies and young children that can be done at home (with an explanation of their significance).

I was watching a tv show about an 8 month old dog that knew a hundred words while babysitting my newborn nephew and his 6 year old sister. I thought babies habe to be smarter than dog's. I only babysat once a week so I got my 6 year old niece to experiment on the baby. I had her try to teach 4 words to him. Hard Soft and Hot Cold. By having him feel hard and soft objects and Hot and cold ones (really warm and cool, I'm not crazy) alternatively. We "Forgot" to tell my brother and sister-in-law. At nine weeks, yes weeks, at a Checkup with the Doctor, she used a cold stethoscope and he grabbed it and said "Cold"! She tried again and he said it again. She called in the other Doctors and in and he said it for them again. His Doctor wrote it up in his chart and all the Doctors signed it as witnesses. Give it a try. Remember to use paired alternates one at a time. Putting the object in his hand and saying the word. Use different objects each session if you can. Keep it to a couple of minutes every day. And please use COOL and WARM objects not hot and cold. Don't expect an immediate response, my niece didn't get one before she gave up at 3 and a half months

​@@liriosogno6762 The water in the bath is one of the most potent homeopathic liquids. :-) Homeopathy is the theory, stuff that causes a symptom, may cure things that show the same symptoms. But you need to dilute it, also called "increasing the potency". So a bathtub full of water is basically one of the most healthy things ever and should be able to cure everything. Because the water must have touched so many poisonous unhealthy stuff over the millenia, while at the same time diluted so much by rivers, ocean, rain etc., that it must be a cure-anything medicine by now. *sips a glass of water* I hope I don't die from overdose. ;-) I hope my explanation makes some sense.

I think you should write the book that is easiest for you to write. I would read a book where it goes Chapter 1. Why write this book. In it you describe how life is busy, list some examples of how busy, pontificate briefly on why would anyone want to read what you have to say anyway. Immediately realise someone is reading your words and then you thank those three people. You realise you need a coffee, you mention that, then you put an elipses ... and tell us that your Wife needed you to do something typically husbandy. You then end the chapter and move on to the second which would be something like Chapter 2. How to make a decent cup of tea and why it is generally superior to coffee, unless you really need a coffee in which case a cup of tea just isn't up to snuff. You then Rowan on for a period of time and find yourself ready to move on to chapter 3. Chapter 3. I am writing this one while on shift. Oop, hang on, I have to help a person not be dead. Ok, I'm back, I'm in the car. I'm making notes on a coffee cup I have handy for the purpose. Luckily the air has the memory of a recent anxiety drug so I'm feeling homeopathically relaxed. Oh, while I think of it, get regular exercise. You don't need a lot. A recent study in the US identified that even ten minutes of exercise where you get your heart rate to a point where you find yourself noticeably breathing is sufficient to cause an improvement in overall cardiovascular efficiency. (Then you comment on this study. You mention that you anecdotally got fitter once your kids learned to move faster than you) Chapter 4.

AND/OR. You alternate chapters so that every third (I get that that isn't alternate) is an If It Ducks like a Quack rant. Especially since you already have a cover.

@@kinseybay97 ...What kind of neurologist believes that chi is some sort of magic force!? If anything, "Chi" is a mysticised abstraction of bodily self-awareness or literally just the act of getting some oxygen into your blood via the breath. Not only a neurologist, but a *martial artist* should know better! HOW ARE THESE PEOPLE IN CAREERS!? *muffled screeching* Where's that Treebeard gif when you need it...

Wow, your wife was sick for a whole month. I'd be hella worried the whole time if I was in the same situation. Glad she's much better, I hope she makes a speedy, full recovery!

My dad was a cardiologist and loved it and funny enough, he said exactly the same thing "Neurology is fascinating but there are still many (quite terrible) diseases that you really can't do anything about and in cardiology, you deal with sometimes very ill people but when you are in time, often you can help them a lot" that really stuck with me and it's cool to hear the same thing from you. I am an engineer and I work on some cardiology related research projects myself now :) Comment: I do think however, it is getting better, I know quite a few people who had critical Brain conditions (tumors, aneurysms) and were operated by neurosurgeons to make a full recovery and continue with life as it was before. And as for neurological diseases, I think the underlying mechanisms are being understood better and better and soon there is hope for many of them. :)

I know I'm late to the party, but microbiologist here to answer the soap and alcohol question: So most drug immunities are caused by bacteria being able to skip the affected step, whilst alcohol and soap cause lysis. Think of it like a car journey, where the end destination results in cell division: Antibiotics attack the route by destroying the highways and mining the roads. Resistance occurs when the bacteria finds a random backroad that still leads to the destination. Soap and alcohol just nuke the car.

Dr Rohin, your first book should be the good things about the NHS interspersed with chapters about the ridiculousness of the NHS, with a coda in each chapter about how much each of these cases saves money or costs money.

[@davetreadwell]

It's the most neutral Spanish voice I have seen in a lot of time XD. I'm Spanish but I highly prefer your content in English, not because your Spanish is bad (in fact, I think it's really good for a British person) but because of the tone and accent of your voice, which, I don't know why, but I don't quite like it. Nevertheless, that's just my opinion and I, in fact, think it's a great idea for you to translate your content to Spanish to make it available to all those people that aren't as lucky as me and don't now English. And if you are reading this, which I highly doubt because you must have an enormous amount of work, keep it up, man!

I know this is old, but if the person who asked how old is too old for medical school sees this- My partners father started medical school when he was 41. He had 2 young kids and a wife, and he worked really hard and it was exhausting, he was rarely home for a while and they had to move states for his residency, but now he's been a doctor for about 20 years. YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD IF YOU WANT IT! 💕

[@MaddockJames]

Serious reply to the question of what book to write: Something similar in style to "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain. The "real" stories behind the scenes in a cardiology department, that completely makes the hype and glamour of TV hospital shows look utterly absurd. You had some ace stories in this video, all you have to do is get someone (maybe even you!) to write them down.

[@gutspraygore]

"What kind of book do you think I should write?" Sci-fi. One of Michael Crichton's early books was "A Case of Need". It centered on medicine. But there is a deeply analytical perspective in his body of work that probably came from his experience in medical school. I would imagine your experience as a doctor would give you a variety of insights in new or obscure technologies. You can make it thrilling. Love your videos. Thanks for making them.

Hey Rohin, I’ve just recently found your channel and have already spent far to much time watching it but your dry humour has cheered me up no end, also want to say thank you for all you have done during this pandemic, my wife is a nurse and I have the upmost respect for all NHS staff that have ploughed on in the face of danger. true hero’s Another reason for my comment is to see if you may do a video on heart rate in heathy adults, ie : resting heart rate, max work out heart rate etc and if possible explain what heart rate variability is in Apple fitness. Thanks for the content and great to hear you and your family are feeling much better 👍🏻
