Let me know if you found this style of video helpful and any suggestions on improving future videos. This is the first time I've featured in a Geeky Medics video after 10 years of filming and editing them all, so go easy. 🙏

Thanks, I liked this but I would rather to see a role playing history taking, the same as Geeky Medics physical exam videos.

very useful easy to understand. Really like that you put symptoms with questions and the reasons why- then linking with potential diagnosis.

helpful video. maybe increase the sensitivity on the mic in the future... I had to crank up my volume to max to hear this.

It's very nice informative msg, Sir. Really appreciate it. Visual memory stays long lasting & easy to understand. If Dr & patients practical demonstration and key points simultaneously in corner or side display could be shown. Then it would be really greatfull....Dr CP

Brilliant work as is the norm from this channel. I don't see any need for change or improvement but possible suggestions for consideration :
Perhaps instead of referencing a common presentation for each part of the history, you could combine it into an example case right after each section. So in the chest pain section after explaining SOCRATES you'd give the example of a male patient who complains of vaguely localised heaviness/tightness that started while waking up stairs... Etc.

I'd say more cool illustrations but honestly that's because they're great and I'm greedy =] there has to be a limit on how many you'd make for each video 😄

Finally, possibly add a reminder about not forgetting General and Past history as it relates to the systemic history (hx of smoking, valve replacements... Etc).

Great stuff and cheers.

Very good information. It could be worth adding the drug history causing cardio vascular complications
