Thank you for such clear and instructive videos! I had a peak at the project and I find it truly exceptional!
Just a few things though, for the neck and abdomen it is best to auscultate first as 1. potential plaques can be dislodged on palpation 2. borborygmus can also change. Another thing, for a suspicious lymph node you would definitely go for an excicional biopsy not for a fine needle aspiration (if it is lymphoma what you need to rule out).
Keep it up!

Excellent timing- thank you! Have OSCE's soon!! Can you do video's for varicose vein examination, parkinson's disease, imaging station and possibly counselling?

Did he say his DOB was the 7th of the 9th? Couldn't hear him despite having both the volume on the video and my laptop maxed out.

Love these videos, I'm in America so some of the terminology is slightly different from ours, but none the less this is great stuff.

i told my doctor about a lump in my neck (behind my ear but a bit lower) and she felt it and then said come back if it gets bigger, with no explanation to my concerns :(
