@@DrJamesGill it would be great, if convenient, to have a video about back pains. My back is killing me and with COVID I prefer not to go to a doctor for that right now. But it is a common issue.I think many people would like to know why the hell their back hurts all the time :DD A video about common back pains wold be great. Also I really like your videos about conditions, like this video. Very useful, thanks again for making the time and effort to explain to us something that most people have to deal with like blood pressure. Also, maybe it would be inetersting for you to know that I live all the way in Bulgaria/Europe and your work is seen here :D
The video isn't out yet, but i'm already thanking you for this information. As a person who doesn't know about medicine, i'm always had this question in mind. Thanks for makind this kind of videos that, not only help the students, but help everyone who wants to know a little more about medicine.
@@DrJamesGill As someone who has occasional episodes of low blood pressure, this really helps me understand a little more about what is happening. Thank you.
The thing I will always respect about old medicine, is the simplicity. The one thing I like that wasn't mentioned about the column. One is able to see the bubble. Let's you know the positive or negative draw. Great video, thank you.
It’s one of the reasons I enjoy the clinical skills so much. Being able to make the diagnosis without bloods, and scanning equipment is STILL so valuable
Oh wow. My family has always had issues with high blood pressure, I learned how to measure it but only now I got to know what are those numbers that I repeat everytime I do it. Thanks!
I find it’s really useful to understand WHY we do things. I try to help my patients understand what we are trying to do for them, as that can often help the overall treatment
I really like the videos, one because of the relaxed voice. And two the way you explain the items. Even if it's in English, and I'm Dutch, and never had English on school, it is understandable. Thank you for making medical terms and tests undesirable for normal people.
That’s a really good feedback point. I really strive to help my students understand some of these difficult concepts, and I’m glad to hear it has worked for you 😊
7:25 I've never seen a stethoscope like that before, I thought it was a tiny shower head at first! Thanks for the explanation, Dr Gill! Like many, I've always wondered about blogs pressure!
I am a third year student nurse, and I am forever doing lying and standing manual blood pressures on newly admitted patients. I am competent at doing them, although I work with a couple of first and second year students who are continuing to find them a little tricky. I will make sure to point them in the direction of this video for some tips. Top stuff, James! (:
👍 thank you! We do a peer lead teaching program at Warwick, and I often find that the students are really effective at teaching each other, take care 😊
I imagine this is how house would be without the vicodin. Great videos, I've simply an interest in medicine and biology, your videos are great and informative. Knowledge is power. 👍
Just wanted to say that this is one of the best ways I've learned of blood pressure. I've been told before, but still felt like I didn't truly understand. Thank you so much for this explanation and hard work! Your videos are always calming and informative.
Wow, this is amazing! High blood pressure runs in my family (from both sides) but amazingly I’m not effected by it yet thankfully, although I attribute that to my lifestyle and what I eat to stay healthy enough to continue donating blood. I had a sort of basic understanding but never truly understood exactly what was happening every time they measure mine when going through the pre donation screenings, now I do, thanks so much!
These are great videos, thank you. You go into a decent amount of detail which has helped my understanding. I'm highly active, gym workouts, running and occasionally swimming, and like many people who are into fitness I also have gadgets that measure things like my heart rate and provide a range of data related to my heath and physical activity. This has lead me to wanting to understand more. In addition to my love of science and the scientific method which is so often most clearly demonstrated in medical research. One thing I'd add is that I've read that ideally blood pressure readings are meant to be taken after the patient has been relaxed for about five minutes. So height of the arm and sphygmomanometer and doing the measurements on both arms, plus allowing the patient time to relax are needed for the best readings. Also no caffeine I believe? Also, some interesting video editing there towards the end. 😂 Subscribed.
I really find all of these videos so helpful Dr. Gil! It’s helping me through my anatomy class and for my own knowledge as well. We all appreciate your hard work 🙏
Thank you for the video, I start emt school today and already I’m struggling with shifting out of the army way of learning to actual learning. Thank you for breaking it down.
Loved this video! Its really cool to see how blood pressure affects you. I've experienced this personally, my BP dropped to 70 systolic and I was basically unconscious, I can't remember much except barely hearing a nurse shouting my name but I couldn't answer then my vision went fuzzy, I can't remember after that (luckily I was in resus and the nurse pulled the emergency alarm) I was fine after a few minutes, but it scared my mum - she said I went all floppy. Thanks so much for the video!!!
@@DrJamesGill It was scary, I wanted to move and respond but I couldn't. They believe it may have been one of the medicines I was having through my IV to treat the asthma attack - that's why I was in resus. I dont know exactly what drug it was that caused it, but I know I was given magnesium, aminophylline and hydrocortisone through the IV. Thanks for the reply!!! :)
Thank you! I’m glad it helped. I know some amazing doctors but who struggle to articulate their messages. I certainly aspire to their level of clinical skills, but I’d like to think I’m able to explain the concepts they research 😊
I am so glad that there is yet another video that puts me to sleep :D It's not that the content is boring or something (it is really interesting) but your voice is so soft and smooth. It really helps me with my problems to sleep (especially fall to asleep :D) So please keep on doing what your doing.
@@DrJamesGill It has definitely filled the gap- the course was a Bachelors in Public Health. We didn't learn clinical skills a lot, however having a visual representation of how to measure BP would have helped so much instead of only learning about what systolic and diastolic BP is. I learned a lot of clinical skills from your videos- please continue making them! 😊
Thank so much for this explanation. Always wondered how what was going on during taking blood pressure worked! Please can you give an insight into how trying to perform this, especially the carefully listening to subtle differences in sound, goes down in a noisy environment as A&E dept?
Well that’s certainly a problem, and the cause needs to be found. The heart has gone up as the blood pressure is low. The question is why. It needs to be looked at STRAIGHT away

The subject matter (and timing) of this video for those of us in the U.S.... Very much needed.
🤣🤣
In all sincerity, good luck
I would always feel at ease of you were my doctor. 😁
Finally I have an explanation about the numbers shown, never understood those. Thanks Dr James :)
Glad it helped 😊
@DrJamesGill Good morning doc if yours blood pressure is at 125/80 is that classified as high
You'd make an amazing teacher. I'm not a medical anything and I'm finding it informative.
🙏 thanks. I truly appreciate that
Laughed at that boiler explosion 😆
Also rather charming that you kept the "blooper" in^^

As a lecturer that is the best thing to hear! 😊 thanks
I’ve always found I needed to know the Why to understand something
The magnificent Dr. Gill has done it again!
I am an aspiring Nursing student and thank you so much for this! Looking forward to watch more helpful videos from you.. 🙂
Good luck with your studies

The stethoscope is the most underrated ASMR trigger. Always been a favourite of mine
I already feel better! Thank you, dr Gill
👍

I might try to incorporate a little more anatomy when relevant
@@DrJamesGill Thank you! It means a lot that you answered
Thank you for the video, I start emt school today and already I’m struggling with shifting out of the army way of learning to actual learning. Thank you for breaking it down.
That’s great to hear! @Warwick as we’re graduate entry we spend a lot of time helping. People “think” like medics, you’ll be grand!
These videos are super helpful, very thorough and simply explained. Thank you!

Well, not quite what I was aiming for 🤣🤣 but a benefit is a benefit! 😊
I love this guy's sense of humor 😄👍🏻💯
I've always wondered how to read those numbers🤔
And do diabetes contribute to blood pressure?
Yes diabetes does, and we really try to keep diabetic blood pressure in check as a result
Thanks Dr.Gill you’re a legend
Not quite, but thanks anyway :)
Such a great video- I didn't learn how to take BP during my course at uni
What was the course? Hopefully this has filled in the gap 😊

I would love to see a video on how stress causes blood pressure to increase
LOVE all your videos. You’re the best. 💚💚💚
Appreciate it!
Hello Dr Gill! Greetings from México 👍 Great video!
thanks 😊
Thank so much for this explanation. Always wondered how what was going on during taking blood pressure worked!
Please can you give an insight into how trying to perform this, especially the carefully listening to subtle differences in sound, goes down in a noisy environment as A&E dept?
You’d be surprised how effective your ear pieces are for filtering out sound.
A&E is generally BUSY, but only LOUD in certain areas
Great video. Thank you so much 👍🙂
👍
I’ve had two strokes and I’m currently recovering from and my Bo today was 116over 76 and I was given Bo meds that I take daily
Thank you for this education
😊
Good explanation❤
I'm glad it made sense
7:41 - how I sound after running to my computer to watch a new Dr. Gill video.
this was a life saver after a patient asked me what the numbers mean lol
I’m glad it was useful 😊
What is your role?
Very informative, I've always wondered about this topic.
Glad you enjoyed it!
V.good. clear explanation. A1.
I love your videos so much 🙏❤️❤️
Thanks 😊 I hope they are helpful
Thank you for the video..... I had a small doubt... why did u ask about the predominance of the hand nd which hand Bp should be checked first????
YOU'RE AMAZING !
Lo espero con ansias al video
When you put the stethoscope on the arm, will you hear the blood liquid moving in the body? Or do you hear something else
Yes, you hear the pulse
My son has Addison’s disease, and this was very informative. Thank you.
Epic asmr ❤️
Not all heroes wear capes🤩🤩
I am 65 years old and never had problems with my pressures or heart! I’m so confused!
What happened at 08:25?
Now, beside you putabitapaper, you can sphygmomanomeasure people's arms
you have blond, black, and grey hair all in your facial hair. never realized that
My blood pressure was 185/115 yesterday 😳
Are there people sleeping in the room you recorded this? 🤣
You had me.....asleep at hello!
1:23
It’s pronounced ‘anemone’
Sounds like "hhhhhhhhhhigh" is the new "putapitapaper"...
how much of a problem is 70/50 , with a pulse rate of 140 ? or about ?
Big problem
Sounds like shock to me
Well that’s certainly a problem, and the cause needs to be found.
The heart has gone up as the blood pressure is low. The question is why. It needs to be looked at STRAIGHT away
@@DrJamesGill , thanks !
@@Cbd_7ohm , thanks
I’ll have human biology for $400 please Jim?
When the failed take occured, I thought you were breaking the fourth wall... 😐
Why whisper??
