I love how professional he is. Always respectful of the cadaver. No cracking jokes or acting immature. Thank you. Great teacher.

It's absolutely crazy the amount of complexity that our bodies are.

[claudettef]

I notice that a lot of people point out that this was once a breathing, living person and you're right. But on the flip side, I hope that when I'm done with this body of mine, someone can use it to learn how to save others ;) <3

[jimsmusicalendeavours]

He did his absolute best in this video, and we should all appreciate that.

I had a pinched nerve in my neck that radiated down my arm and into my hand and fingers. I did a lot of the tests you described. Because it was my ring finger and pinky that were weak and tingly, the physical therapist knew what nerve was affected.

This video was super cool for me. I loved seeing the anatomy affected by my injury, and lost count of the times I yelled "COOL!!"

[drSJV]

I study in medicine eastern Europe and there's no teaching. Youtube is our best friend. Thank you so much for excellent explanations!

"People feel uncomfortable when they see the fingers"

Me who's watching the video while eating: wait... They do?

“Scared Lovers Try Positions That They Can’t Handle, ” my favorite mnemonic device ever, you’ll never forget the names of the carpal bones!

Normally I can't look at stuff like this cause I can't handle gore outside of movies and games and art, but this channel handles these bodies with so much respect, and professionalism that my normal reaction to this stuff doesn't happen.

I had carpel tunnel syndrome in both wrists. They did a test with electrodes on my neck, elbow and wrist to determine what it was. I actually watched the surgery and was fascinated. Thankyou for the explanation it was very interesting. Kath UK.

3:15 you could say the cadaver came ...with strings attached

[ellyfloop]

blurring the finger tips made me really curious what they look like

[brandysuzanne]

I’m a massage therapist and my school offered three cadaver Days were we could check out the anatomy! Those were my favorite and I miss going! These videos are great and help keep my knowledge/skills sharp for better care to my patients! Thank you for this🎉🎉

I just had carpal release surgery. The pre surgery pain was terrible, I endured it for years, afraid of the operation, and post op pain. My wrists woke me up at least 5 times every nite, it felt like my hands were in a vise and on fire. My surgeon was fantastic, he examined me only once, and said I was far beyond all of the no surgical treatments. This guy is a great teacher, very interesting from start to finish. The human body is amazing, I think it’s all in the design!

[dailydoseofmedicinee]

Carpal tunnel syndrome can be made worse if the wrist is overextended repeatedly. Repeated motion of your wrist contributes to swelling and compression of the median nerve. This may be the result of: positioning of your wrists while using your keyboard or mouse.👍

[mannymelo]

Man the whole fingertips thing is trippy

I never thought about that until now

[erycktackitt]

Just found this channel a week ago and I have binge watching the videos. Absolutely love these! They have helped me in my anatomy classes!

[benjmainthompson]

I have had both my Carpal Tunnels operated on this year and am post op 7 weeks for the second. I was in really bad nerve pain especially in my thumb and index finger, pins and kneedles and couldn't use the hand as I dropped most things and could not grip. So far so good. My right hand has no pain or dexterity problems now as well as my golfers elbow has stopped hurting. However, my left has only improved 60%. I am still in pain and my golfers elbow has got worse. I do really appreciate what the surgeon and his team have done for me. Thank you NHS.
