Definitely the most edgy TV medical show I've looked at so far! The Resident covered SO MANY interesting medical illnesses and also highlighted some tough topics in medicine. A few people pointing out me misidentifying the tattoo - thanks for this; I need to work on my Greek mythology! I'd love to know what you guys think of the show...

As an American, it’s really funny watching your videos compared to Dr. Mike’s breaking down the same medical show. Jargon and the way of talking about medicine is so different from the US to Britain. Love the vids. Keep it up!

Every time I see “sick notes” I think of sick (and this may have been a US thing) as in a term for “cool” in the 90s/early 2000s. So I hear a Wayne’s World type voice say “Sick Notes, bro!” Haha Love your videos.

I do believe that The Resident is based on multiple hospital scandals and the whole point is they want to show all the bad things about hospitals like scandals and bad stories (as if death and sickness isn't bad enough). Specifically the nurse's character is based off a nurse whisteblower who discovered a serial misdiagnoser who's jailed now.

Love your reviews of these shows! As a Nurse, I definitely laugh out loud frequently during this show, but I still watch it for the drama factor. And I've enjoyed some of the ethical issues it brings to light. The SVT scenario in particular was pretty comical. However, I must say, one of my favorite things to do is get babies out of svt by putting ice on their faces. Even if you need to use adenosine, its a pretty satisfying and easy fix! Thanks again for the review! Keep em coming!

Hello Doctor Hope! I like how you explain all the medical term, my husband just finished his residence and he is always excited to expalin every medical term. He also agrees with you for not seeing all the sex that's going on in the Tv show, I think it's mostly for drama so don't worry you are not missing out.

Mechanical engineer here. I feel a bit like a legal alien on your channel, but anyways I just love learning stuff that is not always related to car and helicopter engines, so your videos really give me a lot of joy at the end of a long day of work! 😊 thank you :)

I WAS a violent patient at one time XD. I was like 8 or something and I had a kidney infection. A nurse came into my room wanting to take blood, but it was with one of the knife things that they use on your finger rather than a needle, which I’d have been fine with. Boy did I fight. It took around 10 people (staff and my parents) to hold me down as I was kicking and punching. lol after my hospital stay was done, the hospital gave me a note (standard I believe) that said, “thanks for being such a good patient.” I was NOT a good patient lol. I can only imagine what the poor people I kicked and punched were thinking of me XD.

How did no one put a ring on Dr. Hope yet

I've been watching several of your videos and I'm always impressed by how easily you convey information to a layman with a good amount of humour. Keep up the great work.

Is the award hanging by the Sternum? Clavicle? 😆 I can’t really help but notice that you use him to hang your award 😂

Could you make a video on the things like washing your hands properly & other practical things they teach you in need school that will help us non-medical people in day to day life, please?

Can we take a minute to appreciate how attractive you are

When your having a nice alcoholic drink with the family but Dr Hope posts a video.....Excuse me for 20 mins 😂😂😂😂 Love your vids!! xx

I love how involved you are with your viewers! It’s so sweet and just makes me enjoy watching your videos so much more. I’m also a musician considering going into the medical field and this is wonderful. Thank you for your content!

Nurse Jackie? The concept of that show alone makes it worth doing imo. Adiction in medical professionals. Enjoy your content as always :)

YES. A new episode.. excited

I really love your videos! I especially like how you stop and explain certain procedures and diseases with props, I think that’s really cool!!! 😄😄😄

Your videos are really cool, and they are so very simple to understand, I am not even in medical school and I watch these for fun. Keep on keeping on Dr. Hope!

Hey. Would you be able to further discuss the ethics of 'turning off the machine'? I mean, besides the legalities of the situation (illegal doesn't necessarily equal unethical right?) why do you find assisted suicide unethical? This comes from a veterinarian where we euthanize patients on daily basis if they are suffering or have no hope for quality of life, I think it's a blessing and a lot of the veterinary community wonder why people can't have the privilege of a peaceful death? I think it's an interesting topic to discuss, interested in your take on it. Cheers

Without even considering the privacy issue, you are touching your personal phone, which is obviously non sterile. Also, the tattoo doesn't actually portray Asceplius' Rod but Hermes' (which is characterized by two snakes and the wings); there's to say that the mistake happens a lot (I didn't really know the difference either).A bit of random information: it is actually thought that Asceplius' rod doesn't portray a snake but a parasitic worm, the dracunculus medinensis, which was extracted by wrapping around a stick.

I have been looking forward to this ever since you reacted to the trailer! I haven't even watch the show but I was excited for this! Also, I really appreciate your simple explanations with daily items. It's so easy to understand, even for someone who isn't pursuing medicine and is watching this for fun.

I'm a third year medical student - I love your channel and hearing all about your stories . Makes me aware of what I have to look forward to. Also your explanations are awesome! Thanks for making this :)

WOW!!! MY HEART IS A RED BELL PEPPER!!!! That Make's So Much Sense.

I'm new to this channel and I have come from watching a lot of Dr.Mike's videos. I think your reaction videos are a lot more educational and actually focus more on the medicine than his do. I like it. It makes the videos longer but also more in depth. I must say I wish you were my teacher when I was at school as I would have been far more keen to learn all this had it been explained to me this way. Thank you for teaching me now! 😁

Hi, Dr. Hope! 🤗... I've only just found your videos and just wanted to say that I enjoy them very much!... you do an excellent job of explaining medical terms and scenarios in ways that just about anyone can understand and it's obvious that you have a genuinely kind and caring demeanor. I'm certain that many of your patients have felt lucky to have you in their team 😁... I also appreciate how much credit and respect you give to other members of the medical staff, such as nurses and anesthesiologists (that's what we call them in the States) - it shows you recognize that each member of the medical team has an important role to play and no single one can help the patient to the fullest extent without the others... and finally - you're sweet and charming and have a great sense of humor 😋... keep up the good work, Doc! 👍 - byeyas!

I've been binge watching your videos from last night, love how you explain things to us mere mortals, greeting from Chile

You should have so many more subscribers! I’m a medical show addict and I just love your videos! They’re especially interesting to me as I’ve always wanted to be a doctor or a nurse but only barely passed Science GCSEs 😭😭

Yay, I was waiting for this! Love these reviews :)

Great video again, loving these! 💖

I am a nurse (Perioperative nurse). I just subscribed to your channel because it's fun to watch on your reactions to medical related tv dramas and you explain very well to your audiences in the simplest way about the condition etc. In the few months time I will be working in the UK as a theater nurse. Hope to work with you. 😁 Hehe keep it up your channel is lovely. 👏🏼👏🏼

I really do love watching your videos. I like how approachable you are and that you have no problem taking the mickey out of yourself.

You wear the hell out of that shirt. Love 😍

Can't believe I'm 3 weeks late to this video. Your paper model of the spinal cord was adorable and well explained. I'd love to know the different stages of med school. As in, after you study it for 4 years, what are the different stages after that, until you get to practice? Also could you explain Immunotherapy? Still my favorite medical youtuber ❤️

I really enjoy your videos and the way you explain all of the medical terms and procedures! I would love to see you go through all of the episodes of the resident but that might be too much to ask :)

Great video doc this series is really fun and informative, all love from the middle east.

Love your videos. I work as a physician assistant in Cardiology/Telemetry in the United States and just love your analysis and how you educate your audience. Personally I have not seen anyone do the Ice bucket challenge on telemetry, although most of my patients are in atrial fibrillation with RVR when they have tachyarrhythmia. Sadly here in the US there has been poor emphasis on how Cardiac arrest codes work. Hollywood sadly likes to make it seem that ROSC is common with very few side effects and unfortunatly this is a rare occurence. Thankfully we have great nurses that usually alert us when a patient is about to decompensate so thank you to all the nurses who look out for patients and their best interests. The system would not function without you. Would love you to consider reviewing an older medical drama like ER. We also have Chicago Med here in the US. I guess there really is no shortage of TV medical dramas over here.

Sick video, doctor Hope! Has anyone made this joke yet, haha.

Really cool to see you talk about SVT! I recently underwent two catheter ablation procedures to correct SVT for myself (had multi-focal atrial tachycardia originated in the crista terminalis). Would be neat if you could talk about catheter ablation if you have anything to share about it. Great work, as always!

Fantastic explanation of hand signs of infective endocarditis! And an enjoyable video too :)

More,more,more!I like so much your videos!!!!

Love your videos!! I'd be interested to see a video on different terms used in the UK as opposed to the US. For example in the UK, an operating room is called a theatre, but just plain OR in the US. I find it sooooooo interesting!

Your videos are so interesting and educative in small portions! Would love to see you react to Saving Hope.

Your videos are so helping. You're such a good human being. Greetings from Russia

oh god,I found your channel today and I love it. I'm a nurse in UK and I have to say,sometimes I feel sorry for doctors. Underpaid and overworked and than we start complaining. Also,as a foreign nurse who works in UK. It's so different. You should do a video with a nurse. Would be interesting to see what a nurse thinks and also,do a colab with a foreign doctor about differences between NHS and other countries. I'm glad I found your channel

WHOOO YASSSS NEW VIDEO!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh my goodness, you're adorable. The girls will be coming to get you. You're going to be a KZfaq star. Don't forget that your a doctor and it's your calling. Nice job.😉😊

I'm not a healthcare professional, but I work in food services at a retirement community. We have healthcare aides and licensed practical nurses on site 24/7. The other day, I witnessed a dementia patient fall. It was an experience that shocked me, for sure. The professionals did everything right and he's okay now. (I got away with just a little bit of paperwork) I get to interact with people who have dementia every day and it's unexpectedly rewarding. From a worldly perspective, they don't have much to offer you, they can't work, they don't have anything material to offer, they don't make a huge contribution to society. They give themselves though, they some of the kindest, most authentic people I have ever known. They are just like anyone else, they want to be loved. That is why I want to become a recreational therapist with a focus on seniors. They've given us so much in our lives, it's time we give back.

I'd love to see your response to ER. Unlike most medical dramas it was created by an actual M.D., Michael Crichton (yes, the same guy who brought us Jurassic Park). He graduated from Harvard Medical School but left medicine shortly thereafter so he never received a license to practice. Disappointing, but I think we can all agree that he did rather well for himself. Crichton started publishing articles for the New York Times when he was only 14 and did his undergrad at Harvard as a Literature major. So he KNEW how to write. He went on to be a guest lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Cambridge before enrolling in Harvard medical school. He also did post-doctoral studies in biology at the Salk Institute, so he KNEW medicine. I think the early seasons of ER captured the true realities of working in an urban hospital better than most other shows. That's why I'd REALLY like to hear a practicing physician's opinion on my very favorite show. Thanks!

I love your stuff Doctor Hope New subscriber gained.

I'm simultaneously watching the actual video and this review. Quite fun :)

I want more of this kind of stuff. Please

Amazing video loved the way you explained the procedures. Also love the fake KZfaq plaque hopefully you get a real one soon you deserve it.

Do an episode of M*A*S*H I think it would be fun to look at an older show that is different from most medical dramas you see now a days. Really enjoy your channel!

Hey there fellow healer. Enjoyed it. Havent seen this show yet. How about 'The Knick'? I just recently finished watching it and as a surgeon have to say it was so interesting to learn about history of surgery. Give it a go

I liked Japanese series called "Code Blue", it may be fun to watch and comment on. P.S. Like your videos. Keep up the great work!

it was interesting watching this, because i have SVT episodes every so often, was diagnosed a few years ago, and now i just hold my breathe when it happens and a few seconds later im back to normal. I never knew why it helped until now.

I love this series

I'm not a doctor, or a med student, or really even interested in medicine, but I'm really enjoying your videos so far 😊😊 especially your "reacting to med dramas" series. If you have time please react to Descendants of the Sun next? It's a super popular korean drama. more of romance than medicine really but I'd love to see your reaction to it!

You'd make an excellent teacher. Good review, I haven't seen the series but i may check it out. My ex is a nurse and told me it was really good. GF is a doc and generally doesn't watch medical dramas (she usually laughs or starts throwing things at the television), but if it's 'dark' that may make it watchable. 'Scrubs' we love.

love this!

Love these videos :) could you do a how accurate is the night shift at some point maybe? Thanks :)

I loved this! Thanks for doing it :D I'm starting to like The Resident more than The Good Doctor. Have you seen the episode regarding concurrent surgeries? That scared me a little lol

Please consider doing a video for teens like my son who wants to be a doctor, talking realistically about what it is like during the different stages from med school onwards. A series of videos like that I am certain would be well received, if you have the time to do them. Thanks for your post.

lub yu♡ Also great video i really like the way yo explain things and how you pronounce Theater♡

You should review the med show "ER". Awesome reviews btw. Keep up the awesomeness.

Did You just CUT of my heart?! 😱

Fun series you are doing! I find it unlikely that the vagal manouver would work after they tried two dosings of adenosine though.

I'm not even a healthcare worker, but I like learning about other professions. You have a great personality, Dr. Hope! What you said about violent patients made me think. . . I have spastic hemiplegia cerebral palsy and I remember that as a kid, doctors and nurses would tell me that I was doing a good job when I would get Botox injections an the like. It puzzled me at first because I thought, "You guys are the ones doing the work. I'm just the patient." I then discovered later that I was actually considered a very cooperative patient. Therefore, the comment started making more sense to me when I started thinking of it as another way to say, "Thank you for being cooperative." Yeah, as a kid I kind of took things a bit more literally than might be typical for a young child. ^_^

YASSS! I love your channel, please react to Casualty (not holby city) because I think it is more accurate than most medical shows (kind of) 😂

You seem to be such a nice guy dude!

Hi Dr. love your channel! Is there any chance of doing a programme on broken femur? I broke my right femur last year, spent two months in hospital, was a hell of a time. I was semi comatose for the first two weeks with horrendous hallucinations. I was given immediate surgery during which they inserted lots of titanium hardware. Six moths later I am just managing to walk again! Would love to be better informed! Sincerely, with hope, and Hope, all the way! BTW, I am English but live in Japan.

Could you please do a video on benign essential tremor, and what the treatment options are.

I know you spoke about the medical side of it. Let me give some surgical insight too. The first scene. The main artery we encounter in appendicectomy is the appendicular artery. It's not that big. There's no way that it bleeds that rapidly that he couldn't have caught the bleeder before the patient coded on table. Ive seen bigger arterial injuries and still managed them just fine. Also he found an anaesthetist who was willing to take the blame for the surgeon? Wow very rare The Da Vinci robot is an amazing piece of technology that actually reduces the fine tremors of a surgeon while operating. Having said that no one would dare to operate with proper experience . Even the medical representative who sells the machine wouldn't allow it as it might botch up his statistics. Also a small thing we attend lot of these live streaming of robotic surgeries and there's always someone that asks the doctor to show whatd exactly the surgeons hands are doing and how the controls work cuz it's so new. So I'm guessing the chief surgeon in the show would've got outed when the camera pans to his trembling non operating hands

When you explained the spine and the nerves I immediately sat up straight and now I'm doing everything not to compress them lmao. It's like telling someone not to yawn or asking them if they have an itch haha. Thanks

Hi Dr Hope, love the videos! I’m a grad about to start studying medicine at Dundee this September! One of the things that’s an absolute pet hate of mine is the lack of information the public have about the difference between a heart attack and a cardiac arrest, would love a video on that!

Hi it’s me again aha, great video as always ;) So my question, as an aspiring medical student, is how much from medical school do you remember. For example I’m a biomedical science student and have to remember countless cellular mechanisms for diseases that are forgotten the second the examination is over! As a doctor you must have learned an absolutely tremendous amount of information! How much of this did you retain and do you remember mechanisms and finite detail or general signs symptoms and treatments? Thanks again :)

Hello Dr. Hope, I was just curious what the difference would be between a supra ventricular tachycardia and ventricular fibrillation. Also congrats On being the only doctor that makes learning about medical shenanigens enjoyable for me. keep up the good work.

Try The Night Shift. It’s a tv drama/thriller of an ER crew. My husband is a nurse and it is one of his favorites.

It is funny because I have never heard about this show until I saw ads for it right after I started watching your vids ......

Hi can you please do a review on Casualty it’s my personal best med drama!

Ah, my old friend, the vagus nerve. All my life my heart would randomly start beating "funny" and cause me to be light-headed, but I soon learned that if I held my breath and pressed down it would straighten out. About 10 years ago, I had an episode, but it wouldn't go away. Three days later, when I started vomiting, I went to my doctor and asked if they could do something about it, 'cause it was super inconvenient, to which they told me to get to the ER immediately, do not pass go, do not collect $200 (no ambulance though, so not too serious?) Anyway, I was eventually defibrillated, diagnosed with Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome and scheduled to have a cardiac ablation. But can I still vividly remember that sense of relief when I took a deep breath and my heart would kind of "pop" back into normal rhythm.

I need to watch this show XD. Wish it was on Netflix or amazon prime.

Type 1 diabetic here . Feet are sooo very important and thankful that altho i have some very mild neuropathy , I still have feeling in my feet and they’re healthy so far . Always make sure to check my feet 🦶🏼 thoroughly, and get regular check ups is what is key.

Would like to see you review the show called Code Black.

Do a review of the t,v show M,A,S,H I watched the show when I was young and made me want to become a doctor, Thank you J.L.Carter MD

Geez. What a corrupt hospital haha

Thank you for a decent review of the show. A lot of the critics trash it obsessively because they think it's going to influence public opinion and make people mistrust doctors. What that means is that they don't want people to make up their own minds about it.

New subscriber here Doctor :) I really liked your previous video on Grey's Anatomy. I was wondering if you could react to the Japanese medical drama series, Doctor X?

That was great! But, can you play more clips from the show you are reacting to next time?

I think that they put in some technical mistakes...like the heart monitor showing something else then they said it was as an inside joke or nudge to medical professionals. Or to piss you off. This also happens when movies talk about tech stuff

So do any of these shows have pharmacists? In House, there was one pharmacist in one episode, because House was raiding the Pharmacy depot. In modern hospitals, we're a pretty big part of it. We're on ward rounds with the doctors, advising the nurses how to administer certain medications, counselling patients and reconciling medications after admission, and we're always chasing after doctors to get them to rechart something or to write a script.

Would love to see your thoughts on code black (the show wad based on a documentary about a real L.A. ER) Also I'm curious to see you delve into later episodes of shows with different types of patients and stories My lunch from scrubs is one of the more iconic episodes that could be interesting to discuss for example

I wish you were my biology teacher in secondary school I could have considered medicine

Yey! I can’t wait to hear what you think about this!

I love that show

You should review The Knick next!

I have neutropenia due to the use of methotrexate for my rheumatoid arthritis and when they found it I was fighting Influenza A. It was a scary time.

Is there any way you could do a vid about epilepsy? I’ve had it since I was 14 and it’s gotten tedious explaining it to my friends for the past 20 years. Sending them a link to your page would be a time saver for me 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Yea nurses are really good at spotting a code blue before it happens. When I was in the trauma unit I tried to sit up and get out of my bed. Someone was monitoring my machines (I don't remember what I was hooked up too), before I could even sit up all the was 3 nurses and a doctor came running in. They helped me avoid a heart attack altogether. It was terrifying. My heart and a bunch of other organs were injured in an accident. I have a murmur now.
