Cranial Nerve Examination - Deep Dive - Clinical Skills - Dr Gill

The cranial nerve deep dive obviously starts with cranial nerve I. The olfactory nerve is your sense of smell, over this series of videos I'll be covering what most people have asked for, additional information on:

- The normal function of each cranial nerve
- How / why any special tests are performed
- crucially what is being looked at during each step of the examination.

For other cranial nerve examination explanation videos please look here:

Cranial Nerve Examination Demonstration:

Cranial Nerve I - Olfactory Nerve:

Cranial Nerve II - Optic Nerve

Cranial Nerves III, IV & VI

Cranial Nerve V - Trigeminal Nerve

Cranial Nerve VII - The Facial Nerve

Cranial Nerve VIII - The Vestibulocochlear Nerve

Cranial Nerve IX & X - Glossopharyngeal & Vagus Nerve

Cranial Nerve XI & XII - Accessory & Hypoglossal Nerve

I'm hoping to have this whole series finished this week - it was previously going to be delivered as a single video, but I think it would be more useful for people to be able to jump in and out to the various nerves they are wanting extra information on

Keep dropping the comments, and I'm really grateful for all the improvements people are suggesting, which is helping this channel to evolve - THANK YOU

Please note that there is no ABSOLUTE way to perform a clinical examination. Different institutions and even clinicians will have differing degrees of variations - the aim is the effectively identify medically relevant signs.

Different medical schools, nursing colleges and other health professional courses will have their own preferred approach to a clinical assessment - you should concentrate on THEIR marks schemes for your assessments.

Dr James Gill is such a legend that his videos get likes and comments before they've even been watched

[ProperSauce]

Congrats you've made the BEST cranial nerve examination on YouTube. No one so far has been able to actually show CLEARLY the pupil constricting and demonstrated it so simply.

My father had a severe head injury in 2018 after falling off a roof head first. Luckily he survived but completely lost his sense of smell. Since watching your initial video on this test it all finally made sense. Thanks Dr Gill!

[veras]

I'm not a med student, but I can just listen him all day😊 what a smoothing sound😊

[eriklunden]

I actually get much from these videos. I'm not in the medical field, but I love learning. I've also noticed the manner in which I speak with people has started to sound reminiscent of Dr Gill. It puts people at ease when they know you are interested in their comfort and well being by your tone, mannerisms, and clear communication.

[dianaMD]

I'm currently in my neurology rotation and I'll have the practical exam in less than 2 weeks so you couldn't be more precise with this video.
Mulțumesc, dr. Gill! That means 'thank you' in my language! 😇

Doctor Gill drops a 40min long cranial nerve examination and I'm excited because my amsr addicted brain will be able to sleep easy tonight 😚

[nightone]

She is so lucky. I wish I could get a cranial nerve exam done by Dr. Gill. I think I would fall asleep during the test though. His voice is heaven.

[AL-jovp]

It's 1.15am
I cannot sleep
But Dr Gills vids
Are like counting sheep
Or back from one hundred
With a face full of gas
Soothing smooth voices
Help one to relax..

^Funny, but also a super practical pro-tip! Attention to little details like that really makes this channel special. 😊

[Fotini]

An absolute LEGEND! …for those of us with insomnia & need good quality ASMR 😂🙌

[anthonyreynolds]

I'm in engineering rather than the medical field, but I've always found these videos incredibly interesting, especially around neurological exams and the cranial nerves.

My partner has recently been diagnosed with MS so it has been really useful to have watched such fantastic teaching over time, and at least had some awareness of what her neurologist was looking out for whilst examining my partner. Thank you!

[mahaggett]

honestly, I'm a high school student who is going into engineering, but this stuff is so interesting and I have learned so much I am very appreciative of Dr James.

[evanpitchers]

With all these different videos that Dr. Gil is putting out, I’m set to graduate with a full doctorate degree in the Spring of 2023

[carlabach]

Med student here! I’m so thankful for your videos Dr Gill!!! You explain it wonderfully, oftentimes i Find myself searching for your videos to study for tests!! Thanks so much for this awesome work!

[joanneclark]

I’m a nurse studying clinical examination skills, all of Dr Gill’s videos give great understanding behind each system. Especially the cranial nerves. Thank you!

[-a-strikelures]

Dude gets millions of views per video and only has 166k subscribers.
Just goes to show how many people don't care about actually "supporting" a channel they enjoy.
Well I just subscribed good sir.
Great content. I thoroughly enjoyed the video.

[JKelly]

Dr Gill is like my fav Indian place… I just can’t stop coming back for the GOAT

[Ruffman]

Came for the ASMR but I have to say every video I watch I learn something new as a result. Keep it up Doc your voice is divine!

[mhalbae]

I had my practical exam a few days ago and your video helped me a lot! Thank u so much doc, greetings from Mexico ❤️
