Welcome!
Interested in learning surgery? Are you a student, a surgical trainee a surgeon or just someone interested in surgery?
Let me be your guide.
I’m Dr. Erik Pearson and my goal is to scale surgical education and make surgical education approachable.
For the students and residents I want you to be comfortable on the wards, in the ICU, the operating room and of course confident on your exams.
I'm going to discuss a TON of strategies, studying tips, and lessons I've learned over the years as a premed, medical student, surgery resident, pediatric surgery fellow and now attending pediatric surgeon.
I also have a newsletter that comes out with my perspective on healthcare issues, career advice, interesting or inspiring things I've come across in my life as a surgeon, father and husband. It's in our CITIZENSURGEON community that I share new videos, giveaways or live chats.

Awesome glad you liked it!
This helped me ease my stress to prepare for my trauma lab ! thank you!
Awesome!
What about, “no pain just constant bilious vomiting”?
Do you have the secondary survey or ACLS rhythm video explanations in your trauma series?
Thank you for another essential video
Absolutely so pumped you enjoyed it!!
@@citizensurgeon I already have so much respect for you Dr Pearson, also taking the time to reply to your followers is much appreciated. As a junior doctor I strive to be like you, it requires hard work & passion ! All the best 😀

I can't wait to see the video 📸
Your vivid explanations helped me conceptualize my intestines. In my early adult years, I had two open abdominal surgeries [an oophorectomy and, a decade later, a complete hysterectomy]. I had two emergency GI surgeries a decade later, neither of which was the actual problem. The first was an appendectomy. The most prominent finding was severe intestinal necrosis near the appendix. The second surgery was a cholecystectomy. My pain really intensified for months to come after that surgery. I do not know what the underlying problems were, but I do see these surgeries raised the risk of intestinal obstruction. I have been hospitalized 3x for SBO since I was subsequently diagnosed with Crohn's disease (diagnosed in my early 60's). I have never had GI symptoms that are associated with Crohn's disease unless they were acute episodes. Even before diagnosis, once a year or thereabouts, I would have severe abdominal pain with nausea and vomiting, and it was not until I experienced significant weight loss associated with pain that Crohn's disease was considered. Still, I have extensive ulcerations down to the third layer of intestinal mucosa throughout most of my small intestine. I am being treated with the maximum dose and frequency of biological infusions. There has been minimal intestinal healing and some stricture formation near the ileum. When I had these SBO hospitalizations, the symptoms were as you described them, as were the imaging and lab findings. Each of these times, bowel rest and continuous NG suction resolved the obstruction. There were no clearly identified causes, and I was hospitalized outside of my regular physician's hospital. Communication and collaboration are not chief characteristics of the healthcare system - at least where I live. Once discharged, I return to my own physician, who attributes the obstruction as likely due to my prior abdominal surgeries. I am more interested in preventing and managing the occurrences rather than pointing the finger at past surgery vs. Crohn's strictures. I feel fortunate, yet --- SBO - whatever the cause - is exceptionally frightening. After listening to your informative talk, I will ask for a better follow-up examination instead of accepting, "These things happen when you have had surgeries."
QUESTION: How is it possible for intestinal ulcerations associated with Inflammatory Bowel Disease to heal if treatment continues uninterrupted irrespective of inflammatory markers? The insertion of bioactive wound dressings that have been tried for ulceration do not seem to be offered presently (where I live).
Very thoughtfully conveyed!

My Mum currently has a very bad case of pressure wound. The wound area is 30cm x 20cm and 10cm deep. Please can you recommend the best way to treat such wound. Cheers.

very informative
What an excellent explanation. Thank you for the video. I would like to know your thoughts on 3D bioprinted smart wound dressings, especially with hydrogels. Does this make any difference in wound healing? Is it practical? If possible please make another video on the smart wound dressings.
Like the pikachu scrub hat. Great video!
Hi Sir I am Requesting for some advice my father had a Upper leg bon Joint Replacement 10 months ago But Surgery wound is still not becoming normal there is some Internal bacteria infection we had a lot of medication as per doctors advice but still we are struggling i am hoping if you can advise me any World best Medicine Name which can treat my Father surgical wound much appreciated
Hello sir
Do not get stiches unless you bleeding too much most doctors will lie to you that you need stiches when you don't I got stiches 6 and I didn't need it now they need to drain the fluids that's in my forhead because she lied to me she closed a wound that was already healing the fluids didn't have no where to come out so now I got to go to a doctor to get the fluids out I hate evil wicked doctors that become doctors just so they can get paid they don't bother learning most doctors are lazy these days and don't care about you
Sir why Herniorrhaphy is a clean wound and a cleam contaminated
Where did gauze from from ?
When a would is failing to close the first question should always be why? Failure of normal wounds to close can usually be explained. Reasons can include lack of arterial inflow. Venous hypertension, contamination, devitalized or necrotic tissue needing debridement, neoplastic growth or others. Number one in getting a would to heal is getting the would clean. This is most often accomplished with increased frequency of dressing changes and avoiding non stick dressing that do not aid in debridement. Almost all wounds should heal under normal circumstances. If they don’t then ask yourself what’s different and try to address the underlying cause of retardation in the healing process.
How do you treat hypergranulated wound?
Great content as always.. so helpful 😍
You explain the different types of dressing. Could you go over how the dressings are combined? Could you start with a Puracol collagen dressing and cover it with a Hydrofera Blue antibacterial foam dressing and then a Optilock no adhesive dressing and then a ABC dressing for more absorption and gauze wrap to hold everything in place.
Perfect 🙏💯
I have stage 3 colon cancer and stage 4 liver vsncer
The WHY u tell unlike many of my professors makes one interested in the topic more than anything💪🏽
Thanks so much! I appreciate that! Gets me inspired to make more content. Share it with your friends!
The literature on the dressing with AG say to only use a limited time … that if you use too long it could stall the last phase of healing…. That the silver could be toxic to the fibroblast etc … and stall out …. Have you ever seen that?
As a life long unlicensed surgeon with no formal education in medicine, I cannot tell you how many surgeries I have performed and the countless lives I’ve saved… that would be an admission of guilt. 😂
Can you perform the hot lams axios stent procedure? To get rid of stones? Dr. Kenneth binmoeller does it. He invented it. But he's in San Francisco
what a lecture! simply, you've got a new fan
Nothing to say but, totally helpful and amazing. The way you talk, the types of subject, just as expected of you, prof.
Respected sir! Which is the best book to learn about the real mechanics and technique for perfect sutures in different situations/ scenarios ? And which is the best book for laparoscopic anatomy and techniques?
I was diagnosed with this big C 3 weeks ago I’m scheduled for surgery next week, I appreciate all your information you have been extremely helpful in understanding all of it, thank you
Wow, get a second opinion.
Thank you for these videos ❤

In terms of alcohol, the negative influence might happen even by small beer glass? Or was that related to strong alcohol?
