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

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.

Randall Munroe (of xkcd fame) has a couple of books out in which he does pretty much what you're doing now: answering silly (at least on their face) questions about science with detailed and well-researched answers. Your style of humor and depth of medical knowledge would make for an excellent take on this concept.

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.

Thanks for the content and great to hear you and your family are feeling much better 👍🏻

Book ideas: - Anecdotes divided in chapters: interesting cases, happy endings where there was little hope, patient behaviours - Cardiology explained through humour. Maybe there are lots of "cardiology for dummies" books out there, but your explanation methods are very likeable and easy to grasp, so I think you could bring something novel. - Autobiography/what it takes to become a doctor/your road (intertwined with personal struggles)

I'd be interested in reading a book with more medical anecdotes. The ones you tell are always interesting and you said you have lots.

Can you answer why my Dad left us Rohin?

@This is Barris! People who correct your grammar are actually helping you, take it as a gift. Doubling down on bad grammar, playing the victim and calling them "grammar nazis" only reinforces one's ignorance... Such attitude makes improvement harder.

An anecdote for the heart palpitations/caffeine relationship: After I had my second kid I developed hypothyroidism which presented first as major panic attacks, palpitations and eventually an irregular heartbeat triggered by coffee. Multiple times. It took several trips to the ER where they just gave me a benzo and sent me in my way before someone thought to check my TSH levels which were crazy obviously. Now I have to take levothyroxine and metoprolol everyday.

I usually don't care about KZreadrs' Q&A but this was great! You do this very well!

This made me laugh out loud so many times. Thank you, I really needed that today ❤

not only doc who prescribes humor during covid by making content on the web..

If I was that "burning man", I would _love_ to have a video of the whole episode. I mean, there's nothing better than laughing at cheating the death in a most hilarious way.

This was such a great introduction to this channel ❤️ really learned some great tips! I’ve been searching for a way to get a lot of energy AND cardiac arrest at the same time, I appreciate the tips!!!!! 😉

My cousin is a doctor too She was working 7 days straight, on the 7th day she got told to work a 36h shift, Monday she'll get a day off and Tuesday starts her next 36h shift. Thank you for doing those videos on top of all the work you do. Thank you for being a doctor. Edit, didn't even start the video when writing this.

I always wanted to have a cardiac arrest and now, I know how to achieve this lifelong goal. Thanks Dr Francis !

Write a book called "Of ot ducks like a quack" and make it about notable stories from your life and lessons you learned from those times. Throw on some of your sarcasm, and I think it'd be a great book

I think it would be a massive waste of his considerable talent to teach medical knowledge in a way that is understandable to non-med-students. That would be meaningful while a joke-story book would not be.

Your Q&A videos are my new favourite way to pass time

The first patient story is why some of those "archaic devices" can still be useful in certain situations. A set of paddles should be available for just such occasions.

The chaining of your jokes one into another gets me every time xD

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!

Just love your channel. Such an Insite in to a different world!

This really made me smile and laugh. Great job! Loved the face plant surgery story, not quite as amusing, but that's the fellow I want working on me, if the need arises.

Your 100K subs video was the first one I watched and it got me to subscribe -- sarcasm feeds my soul and allows me to retain some sense of hope for humanity. Looking forward to the next one!

I would love a book with the same kind of vibe as Adam Kay’s This is going to heart. Similar tone and humour to you but also an insight into you and your work

I found you a couple days ago and I must ask why did it take so long. You are great and I love this channel.

Well to use some of our time honoured Australian vernacular, you looked rooted. I'm sure your hard work is greatly appreciated.

As a physics student looking to do research in the medical/biomedical area, a book about a deep dive intro to medicine (think Campbell Biology style) would probably make me cry of joy. I've been around many biologists and physicist that have similar wishes, so a book that could get us not-necessarily med students on track to understanding medicine would truly get our -hearts pumping-. ¡Saludos de México! (Amazing that you started a spanish channel)

Your favourite tea is Earl Grey - you are now my favourite youtuber. (Also a thanks for making humerus (tee hee) medical videos - they are genuinely so entertaining - from an anaesthetic trainee across the border!)

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.

Oh my myyyy I'm imagining you fanning everywhere and it's hilarious!!! I'm like hollering at 3:44 am and my parents think I've become bonkers lmao

I hope your kids are safe too. Wishing them the best!

I love the history videos of medicine that you’ve done and i think you have done a really great job of presenting them and they are really entertaining! I’m not sure it would translate well into a book but i think that would definitely be something i and many more people would be interested in. The idea is sort of reminiscent of The Emperor of All Maladies by Siddhartha Mukherjee (its an awesome book!).

If you've not come across the podcast Sawbones I think you'd like it - all about medical history, by a doctor, quirky and very well done 👍

I would love a book about memorable moments in your medical career (and your reflections on those) starting from medical school (or medically related/when u started having motivation for it) going forward, with lots of medical cases/illustrations.

I love how sarcastic you are, makes me miss the UK
