I wish my doctor looked and sounded like this. Just

[SFKelvin]

You’re so clear about everything you present. I don’t trust many doctors, but I trust you.

[simonlansley]

Dr Sam Bailey comes over as a beautiful person both inside and out

[anupamsircar]

You're the best!!! Unless a doctor has a disposition like you, they cannot heal.

Thank you so much for your explanation.. I had Heart failure a few months ago and your explanation was much better than the hospitals.. I am following all the recommendations and I feel optimistic about my outcome.. thanks.

A big THANK YOU to Dr. Sam . Ages ago she mentioned The UK Column News. I've been watching ever since and am delighted with what they do. I knew that if Sam bothered to mention them then there must be a good reason.

I simply love you Dr Sam!🥰 You make me feel like someone really cares about my health, and for that I am so grateful! Now, I know more about my pump!🙂

Nice video Dr. Sam! Glad that you are taking a break from your COV!D exposé.

I would be interested in a video focused on prostate enlargement / benign prostate hypertrophy and overactive bladder. These issues seem to be difficult to diagnose properly, as my father was originally told he had BPH and put on medication to shrink the prostate but experienced too many sexual side effects and a real lack of benefit. His doctor then put him on medication for overactive bladder and despite his original symptoms not including the important "uncontrollable urge to urinate", he seems to be having less trouble urinating as well as having to go less frequently now. It is a topic that I would like to understand more fully so that I can better help him as well.

Not gonna lie though, the world needs you to make more SARS videos...

God bless and keep this beautiful, knowledgeable and genuinely caring lady doctor with us all for many many years to come! 🙏🙂

A little late with comment but I found out the hard way in 1996 that HA can be chemically induced. I took an over the counter ephedrine supplement before taking off on a bike ride. Suddenly, after a few miles, I had severe chest pains. After sitting on the side of the road for a bit, I was able to go home. Later, ephedrine was pulled from the shelves because of heart attacks. I never forgot that lesson that regardless of everything else going on, a HA can be chemically induced.

I have become quite a follower of your various postings.
All best wishes. (76yr. old)

Once again, I must thank you and congratulate you on providing extremely important information on medical conditions that are prevalent yet mostly misunderstood. This is a concise collection of the major issues yet with a somewhat holistic view of problem. Excelente vídeo in my opinion.

Love your work as well as your transparency. Ty. Dr thomas cowan has a different view on the heart muscle. He has explained that its actually not a pump as first perceived. It would be great for you and Dr cowan to chat and exchange ideas. Seek and ye shall find
