At 13:16 he says “ I have had relationships with people with Down Syndrome that has improved the quality of my life.”
That is one of the most gracious and humbling statements that I have ever heard a human speak in my entire life.

Thank you John, it cannot just be me, but I always enjoy being warmly welcomed to your videos.
You set the tone just right every time with that little intro. :)

[margaretfleming]

If only I had had teachers like you when I was at school! Explained in a way that is understandable and presented with real enthusiasm, which is contagious and most informative. Thank you!

Dr. John. Continue to listen and learn from you. Thank you for teaching us so much more than all things medical. You are appreciated. Thank you.

[angstrom]

You really showed your medical knowledge and experience in this, Dr. Campbell. Thank you.

THANK YOU for affirming people with Down Syndrome, I completely agree with you and sincerely want to thank you for your affirmation of them. Their lives are valuable and I have also been blessed by those I have got to know.

We need to teach 'how your body works' to kids in school. This 30 minute video would be an excellent adjunct to any health class.

When I (hopefully) look back on this pandemic, I’ll remember your videos and how helpful they were. You’re one of the good guys who will stick in my mind. Thank you

I got diagnosed with cancer last October. You explained more about cancer than my oncologist did in the 10 minutes he spent with me before chemo. Thank you for helping us all be informed.

Covid did what nothing else, including 20 years with precancerous cells, could. I’ve been trying to quit smoking for decades. I finally, at 60 years old, quit.

Dr John- if every students in high school watch, listen to your impressive videos I think every student will go to medical school despite there indecisiveness! I am a person in my late 40s and I downloaded your books- Contributed- Use them as a reference and watched maybe 60-70 of your videos!! You deserve one of Nobel prizes!
