Hey Dr. Dan, I would like to contacto you, I think somebody is using your name and pictures to trick others.

Doctor Dan Actually ignore that! Season 8 episode 6 will be excellent to review - patient has cervical spondylosis (hope I spelt that correctly!) and a 3 day 3 part surgery is performed. Surgeons disagree on surgical plan and things don’t work out is planned initially

Really love your videos, came across them today and watched all the GA reviews.. sorry to leave this comment multiple times but I really want you to review these espiodes.... Please review the HIV episode where Miranda removes HIV strain from the HIV virus and gives it to the "bubble boy" to help build his immune system. Season 10, episodes 22-23. 22 is the episode she gives him the deactivated HIV virus and 23 is the repercussions of her doing that. Also same season episode 18 shows a family that has three children have cardiomyopathy and they appear until episode 23. My questions: can what Miranda did really happen? Regarding the McNell Family, can that also really happen? I'm really interested in seeing your review (please,please,please), I've been watching GA since episode 1 first aired.

I also had this procedure, in 2019 (I was 13) I have rods and screws in my back. I’m not sure how they did my surgery, but I’ve watched many videos on the surgery’s and I’m glad I had mine. It’s a cool story to explain to people, only my close friends and family know because I hate people feeling bad for me.

It’s good to hear about positive outcomes. I had spinal fusion, of L2-L3 & L3-L4 in 1994, due to ruptured discs, and it worked great, until about 8-10 years ago, and which time I started getting back pain, minor at first and progressing to severe, so my surgeon removed the old instrumentation and fused L4-L5 & L5-S1, with instrumentation. Around 4 months recovering I started getting pain above the original fusion site and scans showed that a 2-3 discs above the old fusion had collapsed, so my surgeon ended up needing to fuse T9-L3. And again everything was going well, and I started getting sharp stabbing pains that circled around my entire rib cage, and scan showed I has developed, for lack of the education name, Spurs on the bottom edge of the vertebrae above this last fusion, so my surgeon had to extend the fusion up to T3, as the bone spurs were basically stabbing the nerve bundles whenever I moved. Now, those last three surgeries took place over about a 6 year period, ending a couple years ago, and while I started getting better, it wasn’t for long, as I was still bent forward considerably. My surgeon retired and referred me to a neurologist, due the my history of multiple fusions, and the neurologist finally figured out why I’m bent forward so much, from T3 to S1 I am fully instrumented, except for L3-L4, which was fused almost 30 years ago, but by being surrounded by instrumentation to stabilize my spine, that section has gradually sort of bent inward. The only solution they, or my second opinion gave me a a total revision of everything, such they will open me basically from just below my neck to my tailbone, emote all the hardware, cut notches in a couple of my vertebrae and physically force my spine into proper alignment, and then install all news hardware from T2 or T3 all the way down to S1, including doubling up on the rods, as I’m just over 6’8”. Well that idea didn’t thrill me, but it is what it is, but once they started talking about the extremely high complication rate for the surgery, plus the fact that it would require me to be under anesthesia for at least 12 hours, if there aren’t any surprises, my wife who is a surgical RN, although not in a hospital that performs this procedure, she got cold feet and wanted a second opinion. The second opinion said that my only real option is the surgery, but that he would suggest I put it off a year and try and loose some weight, as that would help improve the outcome, as well as result in less stress on the rods and thus make them less likely to break (both surgeons also had pointed out that I already had two breaks in the rods currently installed in my back.) I’m not one who is afraid of surgery, but this level of surgery is something new to me, as is the recovery. They said I will likely wake up in ICU and still be incubated, and they would remove that within a day, if my lungs cooperate, and I’d be in the hospital for at least a week, followed by 2 months or so in rehab facility. If I go ahead with this surgery, which my wife, son and in-laws all oppose, although maybe they will change their minds in 9 months, when my year is up, but only time will tell. It’s times like this I miss the old program called “The Operation,” which showed actual surgical procedures. I believe it was on The Learning Channel, but I might be wrong on that point, also they did an episode showing spinal fusion a couple weeks before my first fusion, and I found it extremely interesting, although my wife couldn’t watch it. 😀

Sending prayers! Any updates?

Cyph18 thank you for watching! 🙏🙏

Thanks, this is definitely on my todo list! 🙏

Thanks so much for watching!!

@@DoctorDan thank you so much for making sure you think about the full picture. I know you’re a doctor and that SHOULD be habit for all doctors but it’s not our reality. I appreciate your understanding and knowledge 🥺

Thanks for this suggestion! 🙏

Oh yes, agreed!

@@DoctorDan it's season 16,episode 21

The musical Art I’d like to know that too.

Yes, they do. It depends on the surgery and the surgeon though. If it's a small surgery, sometimes. But it's usually a short conversation, maybe like a joke or a short story

I had heart surgery while I was fully awake. The team talked about their plans for the weekend at some point of the surgery and music was playing in the background. 😅

franninchen lol that’s cute 😂

I’m a nursing student and some of my friends were lucky enough to score a theatre placement, so I asked them. They said it all depends on the surgeon, but all the surgeons they worked with were lovely and constantly made conversations about how their weekend went, what they’re plans for the following weekend are, asking why they chose nursing, some even let them choose the play lists for the surgery!

Thanks for letting me know about these! 🙏🙏🙏

Neurosurgeons and Orthopaedic surgeons work together during spine surgeries

How'd it go?

@@Karen-pk3uv will need surgery when I get older and continued monitoring.

Thanks for watching and for the kind words! 🙏

Loved N64!! Thanks for watching 🙏

No I focus strictly on the spine. My neurosurgeon colleagues operate on the brain and the spine.

@@DoctorDan Although you have very clearly stated that you don't do procedures in the brain, I've done some research (online, so, I can't attest to it's accuracy), but, I understand that most (not all, in my case) of ependymoma tumors occur in the ependyma of the spinal cord. What effects, or, presentations do you deal with in these specific cases, and, also, because, again, in my case, my ependymoma is recurrent, what advice do you have to avoid recurrence of these types of lesions?

avoid recurrence. I'm sorry for the extra reply.

Thanks for the suggestion! 🙏

Thanks for the suggestion! On my todo list for sure
