As someone who starts freaking out and having panic attacks whenever I see anything medical or whenever I walk into a hospital, I thank you. I’ve been watching you for a while and the calmness of these videos has helped me calm down in terms of walking into a hospital or even seeing procedures in movies. Many thanks! Edit: I’ve also learnt a lot which is always cool

I am a 3rd year PA student in the U.S. Physical exams/OSCEs are something that so many students struggle with. Videos like these are an absolute treat. Thank you so much for what you do!

I start my first year of nursing this year. From asmr and these videos I'm not so nervous for it and feel I have a very very basic understanding before knowing more about it.

In content, I consider this video is one of the best so far. The production quality is impressive, however the audio is a little low here.

Dr Gill, this is a masterpiece.

This is pretty specific, but is there any reason that a reflex in the knee or ankle would be more exaggerated if you tested them while the patient was lying down instead of sitting up? And same question with the resistance testing--is it unusual for someone to be able to push back with sufficient power while sitting, but not while prone (maybe due to weak abdominal muscles?). This happen to me when I was being checked over by my PT vs. a neurologist.

What's a reflex? Apparently the reflex is a lonely child, who's waiting by the park. The reflex is also in charge of finding treasure in the dark.

"Short circuiting the brain" - there's no signal going to the brain in the shown example? Does that happen with most reflexes?

@DrJamesGill

2 жыл бұрын

Short circuiting, as it taking the brain out of the equation Perhaps not the clearest phrase there To be a reflex, it has to be automatic and nit involving the brain

So is it significant that a reflex intended to move us away from a damaging stimulus doesn’t have to travel all the way to the brain?

@DrJamesGill

2 жыл бұрын

Yes. Because it is automatic and the signals have a shorter distance to travel meaning it’s a faster reaction

My Chiropractor says that the bigger the reflex it’s bad. (E.g. the leg goes high) Is that true?

My doctor told me a couple months ago that I got something call Hiper reflexia I think so, is it bad?

It really does depend on the cause. Hyperreflexia can be due to many things, including just a variation from normal. You’d need to clarify what they felt the cause was - if any 😊
