This is the content that I get attracted to when procrastination is on full mode.

"Don't strangle the tissue." Very valuable advice. I'm glad I learned this early at my internship because novice tends to make it tight believing it to be more secure forgetting that blood has to reach that spot to heal. Without blood circulation, gangrene occurs. Good and very clear presentation.

I searched for knitting for beginners and this came up

Hey Doc, I'm not a doctor but watching your video I was able to suture the delicate leather on my headphones that had split apart like a slice in skin. I used your method to hold the pieces together so I could then super glue it together. It was great because the sutures held the leather together which was formed around styrofoam ear pieces. HA! I'm a head phone surgeon. Thanks Doc.

Imagine waiting for your surgery and seeing your surgeon watch this.

Surgery is an amazing vocation, it’s a scholarly academic achievement, a manual craft, and a beautiful art form. It blows away all stereotypes of separation between intellectual excellence, manual skills, and artistic creativity. Respect to all surgeons out there! You are simply an inspiration.

Hopefully I can use this to suture my life back together

I just realized you can find anything of every thing on YouTube so I declare myself as a doctor, floor installer, and fisherman as my profession LoL

I have been a Peripheral Vascular surgeon for over 25 years. You did a fantastic job of explaining the basics.

Watching this just incase i go on the run for a crime I didn't commit and get shot and have to sew my flesh back together.

Watched this video about a year ago. Since then I’ve gone through multiple suture pads and have solidified my choice in going into orthopedic surgery. Thanks for getting me started!

Doctor: 4000 dollars for the surgery.
Me: How much if I suture myself?

[Mmmhrmm]

I appreciate this kind of information because people may someday find themselves in situations where knowledge and modern services arent available (catastrophic or maybe not even that serious) can help save a life. A doctor/nurse/medical pro isnt always nearby. Never hurts to learn something in a "someone might need that" scenario. So thank you for putting this kind of info out there!!

Me: watching anime and gaming related content

Yt: "yo, i heard u wanna be a doctor?"

[runawayfoxes]

Ive been sewing since I was a little kid and you have literally taught me the easiest way to tie an ending knot I've ever seen. I don't know anybody who uses forceps to sew but god I am so gonna use forceps to sew.

Never thought that jaime lannister will teach me how to suture a wound

I picked-up a learning to suture kit a few years back, but never really practiced. Been an RN for 34+ years, prior EMT and I find that I am interested in learning how to suture, and then I see you also have information about different medical problems as well. I do like how clearly you demonstrate suturing and explain it as well. Thank you for this upload. I have saved your other videos to watch as I progress. Never know when this skill could come in handy.

This video had me in stitches. But by the end, I was like sew what?

I’ve seen the needle and the damage done. A little part of it in everyone.

Thanks, Doc, very informative and you didn't make it sound like one of those boring lectures. I ordered one of the kits, always wanted to learn how to suture. I am the medical "dude" at my hunting camp, We are very far from a medical facility. Cheers
