    As a retired surgical, pacu, ICU nurse for Catholic Health Partners , so grateful to find you on You Tube. Very informative. You are a credit to your profession. My late husband had ankylosing spondilitis. He endured many corrective surgeries on his health journey. He had a penchant for developing keloids post op which further entrapped nerves. And caused subsequent surgeries and peripheral neuropathy. I am glad you take the time to talk with patients. And not recommend surgery immediately. I wish we had known you then. Keep being the great surgeon that Im sure you are .

    Love the podcast! I’m a premed aspiring to be a functional neurosurgeon and had some ideas I think would be super relevant to many of the people in my position! You should make a longer format ~10 mins or greater “You be the surgeon” video. That was awesome to watch and surreal to see the dramatic consequences of making decisions in neurosurgery. You already made this video and I think it would be really successful to have a longer format of that with more cases! My new idea, however, is a sort of pimping style video where you have a mix of case reports and things you would pimp a med student or resident on with varying levels of difficulty. I see many peers in my major who want to be neurosurgeons but are clearly chasing a paycheck or social status. This field is what I was born for, and after my mom’s diagnosis with ALS, and advances in functional neurosurgery that could potentially return her voice to her, my purpose was crystallized. There are countless videos similar to my suggestion for other specialties; but, due to the lack of neurosurgery RUclipsrs, you could lift the vail between the operating theatre and aspiring neurosurgeons which I think will be beneficial for premeds, med students, residents, and even patients alike. Thank you for the content you take time to make. I know there are many unfortunate things I will have to tell patient’s family members in my future. I look forward to the day I can tell that 20 year old kid their mom’s als diagnosis is not a slow death sentence. I appreciate the parallels you’ve permitted me to draw between my situation and yours with your son and the countless lives you’ve saved in his honor both in and out of the operating room with your skills and knowledge. Can’t wait to watch your channel grow as I progress through school and residency!

    I agree that self-diagnosis is a concern when it comes down to people reading things online, and some folks can get things in their heads about what their problems are before even walking into an appointment, as well as what should be done to treat those perceived ailments. That's not productive at all. I do think that has caused a bit of tension to be present between some doctors and patients the moment a patient even mentions doing research into their symptoms or condition though, and that can sometimes result in preconceived bias to occur which is also not good. Not all patients that do research are self-diagnosing, just as not all doctors are expert communicators or good at showing empathy to a suffering patient (that may be suffering with a problem that's gone undiagnosed with several other doctors for a long time, such as in my case). Both parties need not to bring their biases into the room. But that's just my thoughts.

  • @amyjones5660
    @amyjones5660 9 месяцев назад

    You have brought up a very good point about any diagnostics, the specialist will absolutely know how to read the CT scan, MRI, ultrasound, etc. And tell you what he/she sees and how severe it is and the best course of treatment. I have seen this over and over and over again. The big scary and heavily dripping with medical terminology reports can often be narrowed down and put into lay person terms from a specialist.

    Hi, what about those surgeons who are seniors and do training, do you inform the patients about who will doing the surgery ? Because they do not consider the mental well-being of the patient! Thank your

    I see that your content is very good but your videos are not ranked, because your don't have videos SEO, so I think your videos need organic SEO ( search engine optimization ) If you want to increase rank.

    Dr., we enjoy listening to you however we fail to understand why your son needs to be acting a moderator of sorts. Having studied speech and presentation I feel qualified to say that his voice especially is not suited to public speaking. I sure you are proud of him and would like to involve him in this portion of your life but he is actually a negative in this instance.

      I thought the son did an excellent job asking pertinent questions from the viewpoint of the patient. I also don’t think this is intended to be a formal presentation, rather a way for the layperson to feel more comfortable interacting with their doctor & advocating for themselves. Lastly, one day Dr. H’s grandkids will be able to enjoy seeing their entire family interacting on RUclips. I think it’s so cool they won’t have to worry about forgetting their grandpa’s (or dad’s) voice long after he’s gone.
