Hi doc, at step 5, may I check the breathing in is through nose or mouth? Pardon me…
Mouth 👍🏻
I use one. However it's not just a case of breathing it in. You need to keep breathing and expanding your lungs so it hits the upper part of the lung. If not you only do half a job
I am a band 8a Advanced clinical practitioner in cardiology central London. I am NOT a doctor and DO NOT want to be a doctor. Physician associates work under a consultant the same way as I do. They have a restricted scope of practice as I do and it’s their responsibility to liaise with their consultant when necessary. I am sick of hearing PAs replace doctors, replace GPs.. who is allowing this? when are we going to talk about the responsibility of consultants and senior doctors agreeing to have PA under their wing without challenging what they do. Why do GP surgeries employ PAs at all then? Cheap labour left seeing undifferentiated patients on their own? If I was a PA I would refuse and challenge this. We should be harassing the government and GMC for more regulation, regulation, regulation if we are so worried about patient safety. Is the GMC acting quickly enough? If not, we should be protesting outside the GMC headquarters instead creating fear in the general public who have zero insight on hospital reality and will therefore be extremely influenced by any youtube/social media video telling them that they may be in danger. Let’s get things moving in the real world rather than producing more virtual social media content from the comfort of our own homes.
The GMC are literally being taken to court about this. We are doing all we can, but we need public awareness too. Your years of accredited training, exams, CPD, nationally agreed scope of practice and regulation are completely different to the Wild West of PAs. We are absolutely calling out the senior clinicians and leaders who have allowed the PA train to run wild, if you watched my video you would see that I put the blame exactly there and away from individual PA. I suspect you didn’t watch all the video.
Tablets taste are disgusting, don't know how you place on tongue
They only have a taste of start to dissolve on the tongue, so you just have to be quick
You guys never mention what to do to get rid of the blood clots after...
Do you mean inside your nose? Blood clots usually leave the nose and a scab forms over the bleeding vessel, that’s why it’s important to keep the nostrils moist and avoiding blowing your nose etc, so as not to dislodge the scab again.

I'm a senior ED Reg who saw an unfortunate 50 year old female, previously fit & well who was brought in following a cardiac arrest with Rosc and rearrested, became relatively "stable" after thrombolysis. She is now on ITU. It's absolutely terrifying that this happened and this would not have happened if she had been seen in Majors. I also saw a young man just last week who fell downstairs & complained to the paramedics of midline thoracic spine tenderness & was advised not to go to hospital! Needless to say he presented to us & xr showed unstable #'s & he then wrnt onto have a CT & a spinal surgical review!
Were these patients not reviewed by doctors quick enough?
Patients need to be up front and ask a doctor directly what eaatly they are.
IMO, I would definitely disagree with the environmental impact of plant-based diets vs animal protein. The total energy of one cow, from birth to plate is substantially more than plant to plate. I live in an agricultural state in USA. Maybe raising animals is done differently in the UK? Thanks for the thoughts...a very complex subject and people can be very passionate about their diet.
I think it is a complex issue, but yes, definitely arguments in favour of lower environmental impact with plant based.
Same issue exists in the US, perhaps worse because PA's write scripts think order tests. Also Doctors in the US are leaving the profession because of burnout. The reason is money. Insurance companies and hospitals want to reduce costs. Same thing happin my profession, I am a retired CPA and the State of Ohio awarded licenses to licensed PA'S, i.e. these people just had to send in a check and they were awarded a CPA license even though they never had to take and pass a uniform national exam. Some people say that it's harder than the bar exam. I was livid, lowering the standard lowers the value of what I achieved and cheapens it. I imagine you as a Doctor feel the same way about the PA'S. At the end of the day they are going to do what they want to, regardless of whether it's fair and/or safe for the patients.
Thanks for sharing your experience from the US. It is difficult to understand why PAs get to skip the tough stuff!
Hi Dr. Sophie, does antibiotic resistance go away if you haven't had antibiotics in a year or so or does it stay with you long term?
It tends to be long term, so definitely worth taking seriously, also it is not just for that individual, but collective resistance of the bugs.
I wish that my mother was like you - in that case I wouldn't have been using lexapro and overdosing with that sh1t.
Thanks much, I’m going through withdrawals
Sorry to hear that, hope the info here is helpful
Hey! I have OCD (impulsive thoughts followed by certain rituals), I don’t think that I have depression. Will this work? Does it have withdrawal symptoms? Thank you!
The limited evidence we have on SJW is on the benefits for anxiety and depression, so we just don’t know enough to say if it will be helpful for OCD, but it may be.
Great video. Thanks for this.
You’re welcome!
Just spoke to a PA and she said she was a medical professional. I had to disagree she didn't like it
So, a natural drug, freely available, which helps with a number of illnesses is tarnished by the both people who make a living from making us sick, and the people who want us to stay sick. Hmmm.
IM SCAREDD
The brainwashed Dr here is crazy, read out of a 10 year olds book. Alcohol and Tobacco have killed more than Cannabis ever could. You seriously need to look at more updated material and look at the medical benefits.
IMG here,got a GMC registration after plab2 and more than 7 yrs experience outside uk have been applying since one year in NHS ,no job yet after hundreds of applications.i wouldnt have stepped into plab had i known about the condition of the NHS.almost 2 Years of hard work into this pathway drains you out when there is no outcome
So sorry 😔
It workedd thank you soo much doc❤
Yay!
I wish this works for 3PD too...I'm dizzy all the time that I'm awake... Couldn't even drive and my balance is poor...😢😢😢
Thank you, I know I can buy. I meet critera for NHS referral and a free prescription, but the waiting list is like massive, even with comorbidities.
It’s not only that, but it’s only available in a few areas of the country.
This is excellent and thorough advice! In my experience with sertraline I would say this is 100% accurate guidance.
Thank you!
Thank you doctor ❤
You’re welcome!
Thank you for sharing last Thursday the doctor gave me 2 one blue one brown
Hope it helps!
My possible explanation of the non-medical profession expansion is the political need of the government and NHS management. As we know, a fully trained doctor requires money and time. Politicians cannot wait such years of training because they need to show the results ASAP to win the next election. As a result, politicians rather increase such non-medical professions than invest in training posts for doctors. As the NHS management, doctors in general are annoying people. Hard to deal with, annoyingly raise concerns and issues, etc... Probably, the worst part for the management is that doctors are a vital part of healthcare so they have to listen and follow what doctors say. Think about it. They think they are at the top of the hierarchy but they still need to listen and follow what those annoying people say. From the management perspective, Increasing PAs and alternative doctors' roles are favorable because then, they can easily control those annoying people. What about patient safety??? I don't think they care. ya, sure they always say "Patient safety is the highest priority, but funnily speaking they do not take any responsibility. For them, they just point their fingers toward "Oh! this bad doctor or PA did it." In conclusion, this recent increase in PAs and alternative professions is the rotten masterpiece of NHS management and politicians.
Thanks ❤❤❤❤
🙌🏻
who even needs this ? just take it
stuff this
??
Does this loose weight
No
so the govt is trying to fix your healthcare problem by a cheap not educated Dr...the govt needs to stop throwing your tax payers dollars on migrants,,,,,if this was done the issue of money for your NHS would not be an issue,,
Thank you!
You’re welcome!
Uyyytr4
Same
Great video ty
Glad it was helpful 👍🏻
Me here with a migraine
😣
100000000% accurate This rotten mindset of employing PAs must cease ASAP. The job of PA must disappear. Period.
I do think there may be a role for a physician assistant, as it was first intended.
I vaped for 14 years and never felt beter. Xsmorer of 50 years.
I think kids are getting there vapes online and are not safe
Well done on giving up the cigarettes! Vaping is a much safer alternative.
Pesticides or heavy metals that manufactures do not mine
Please help me. I have lost myself 😢
It sounds like you need to get a medical review, please reach out to get help.
I'm scared of hrt due to the risks of breast cancer and won't go on it. I need help because for the past 2 years, I have really been suffering from severe mental health and weight gain and paranoa. I need your support please Dr. Sophie.
@@mahroofbegum1172 Have you watched the video? The risk of breast cancer is very small for most women choosing HRT.
Yes I watched your video and I und
I understand that, but I'm still worried about the risks and am too scared to go on hrt. I am suffering so much
Thank you. I'm scared of going on hrt😢
Most women have nothing to fear!
Doctor prescribe me the inhaler today for the first time and im 33🥲🥲
Hopefully you’ll feel much better after using it
i used 7 puffs idk what to do someone help me please omg
You need to seek emergency medical attention if you’re struggling with your breathing. I hope you are ok.
@@DrSophieGP hi, thanks, im feeling better. VERY shaken up thougj
Where TF is the SPACER doc?????
Evidence shows that for most adults who are using inhalers correctly, there is no benefit to a spacer. Let’s save the environment and reduce plastic waste!
If its so bad for you why is becoming legal in alot of states I believe it can be good and bad it really depends on each person I have seen it help alot of people I have also seen the bad side but the good outways the bad
Everyone can make their own decision if it is right for them, but it’s helpful to know some of the potential risks. I’ve worked in psychiatric wards where many patients had psychotic episodes triggered by cannabis use, so I am perhaps more wary than most!
Thanks I have asthma and I just got my inhaler this really helped I can breathe nicely now
So pleased it has been helpful for you 🙌🏻
Useful video, thank you very much
So pleased it has been helpful for you
Hi, i'm a nurse in Australia and have a graduate certificate in nursing i'm thinking about either doing a master's in nursing or your PA master in Ireland/England, i do NOT mean any desrespect but just wanting to ask your advices, do if you don't mind sharing your opinion please do! Thank you 😊PS: in Australia we are registered as nurses and can prescribe as NP's
I think there’s a lot of uncertainty about the PA training and jobs in England, so it isn’t something I’d be recommending to people at the moment.
Lol
