    Hi Doctor Gill! Love all your videos and have been watching you since you appeared on an ASMR channel. As a filmmaker I have one SLIGHT suggestion. You videos are definitely getting better and better but in this video during the opening interview, you break the 180 degree rule resulting in both you and the patient on screen right looking left. If you imagine a line connecting you two from nose to nose, both cameras should be on the same side of the line. So there’s a camera over her RIGHT shoulder which there is) and a camera over your LEFT shoulder (but in this video it’s also on your right shoulder).
    Hope this makes sense. Just constructive advise I hope. Love everything else. You teach me (a non doctor) a lot, thought I’d give some knowledge back!

    Something I find particularly relevant in this video is that some potential issues are mentioned. I found Dr. Gill's content through the ASMR community but I find myself interested in things such as "what would be a red flag in certain parts of the cranial nerve examination" and so on. Perhaps in future content there could be mentions to what to be on the look out for, etc.

    hi. huge fan. small filmmaking tip: google ‘the 180 rule’. the shot of abby should be from over your other shoulder - ie your left shoulder, the shoulder facing the camera in the master/wide shot. another odd quirk of the human brain, we don’t like cuts that jump the ‘180 line’ - we like subjects to stay on the same side of the frame throughout a ‘scene’ no matter what angle we shoot from. why? i’ll let you solve that one, doctor.

    Thank you for this demonstration but I have a question, what's the difference between this test and the one where you inhale through the mouth piece instead exhaling?

    Is this a modern version of a peak flow test??

    • @MedbeeMedic
      @MedbeeMedic 3 года назад +1

      Sort of ! It helps us measure more than just how quickly you can blow air out though - it also measures lung capacity :)

    • @DrJamesGill
      @DrJamesGill  3 года назад +1

      We still use the peak flow, as it’s easy for patients to monitor that at home. You can see the peak flow reading on the screen here as well in the video

    So the three takes are a common practice.. I always thought that I'm doing it wrong and that's why I'd have to do it again and again....

    I've been waiting for spirometry since lockdown. I'm deemed not "bad enough" and was dropped from the asthma nurse investigations even though I now cannot walk up the street without quite bad SOB. What has happened to the NHS? Gone from being an active gym user and brisk walking 20k a week to a huffing puffing person, all in the space of a month and cannot even get to see a GP. They have dropped the ball.

    @dr James Gill why does it matter if she has had eye surgery?

    • @DrJamesGill
      @DrJamesGill  3 года назад

      Because forced expiration will increase occupant pressure, that could cause further damage / affect the recent surgery

    I was told I have COPD based on a PFT after I had a bad pneumonia. I needed to PFT to be allowed to work at my job to make sure the lungs weren't damaged too much for my job.
    Yet, I have been an athlete all my life. I finished an ironman after this pneumonia. My v02 max is top 5 % of my age.
    I have literally zero lf the symptoms other than the spirometry. No mucus cough, no continued illnesses, not short of breath.....nothing. Yet, even on a CPEX it supposedly showed up.
    How is this possible?

    Great video. I would rather the brand new mouthpiece had been sealed up though, and fitted without touching.

      The mouth pieces come in a massive bag. They are not sterile, and don’t need to be.
      Think of them in the came way as a glass you are drinking from 😊

      I suppose that could have been included, but isn’t part of the standard protocol, and spirometry has been paused in many GP practices for the pandemic
