I am a visual learner. Even though my Patho class covered pretty much the same thing, I needed to see the drawings before tomorrow’s exam. Life saver! 😌

I truly loved your video. As a visual learner, I can appreciate your drawings. Thank you

[francesmapstone]

Thank you very informative. Currently recovering from bowel surgery because of a mass that had created a hole. I am forever grateful.

[Melmanthemd]

I'm a visual learner, you don't know how much medical students you had help! Thank you!

[ndchic]

Wow wow!! This doctor can draw, and explain things thoroughly. He was a big help he didn't leave anything behind. Well done!!!!

Outstanding explanation. Thank you so much. I had a Hartmanns procedure 10 months ago in the UK. Hoping for a reversal soon. I have adhesions and your explanation was so very helpful in visualising my issue and the likely outcome. My problems started with diverticulitis. I’d never even heard of it when I went to A&E. Next day they operated and removed part of my colon and left me with the stoma. I can’t stress enough how important it is to not ignore the symptoms and get it checked out. I would have died from the peritonitis if I’d left it any longer. I feel so lucky to be alive.

I have general surgery exam tomorrow (just 12 hours later) and I have been watching your videos about general surgery for 1.5 hours. This is not normal in my exam times in general.

However, your videos really make on my mind an overview like you say and I learn/remember the pathopysiology of diseases, this makes the informations be permanent.

Like you say on your website “We have two hands. One of our hands for ourselves, one of our hands for others”. Thank you for share one of your hand with us.

Loves and respects form Turkey. With best wishes :)

As an artist studying medicine this has to be the best YouTube channel

[tklmepurple]

You are the This is fantastic. Perfection. Your work is better then my professors and clinical preceptors ! THANK YOU!

Trying to get a diagnosis is not easy. Especially in the ER. Great video! I wish there was more awareness of this.

[theMDMentor]

Very nicely and clearly done. You let a few medical terms slip without definition, such as "necrosis" (which means death of a tissue, anyone who is confused), and "sepsis" which means infection of the bloodstream often caused by "peritonitis" which is infection of the "sac" surrounding the gut, but by and large QUITE understandable by anyone who makes an effort and some understanding of plumbing. Your explanatory and artistic skills are very impressive.

I have had Chronic Pseudo Obstruction Disease since 2004, when my entire large was removed. My surgeon did a straight pull-through procedure, so no bag. This is a rough disease. I've educated hospitals, as most hadn't even heard of it. Thank you so much for this video. It will help me explain it better. Just a note, specialists are surprised that I'm still alive.

[Silver_lad]

I didn't knew anything about bowel obstruction until now. It is very clear and informative. Thank you.

[jargonellie]

Armando. Fantastic video. I’ve had a number of small bowel obstructions due to adhesions and the first time I went to A&E by myself in a taxi with a sick bowl convinced I had food poisoning! I was quickly diagnosed but the surgeons shield you from all of this. By the time of my 2nd 2 weeks later, I was a google expert and therefore terrified, lol. I also got MRSA and sepsis that time and was lucky to survive. Best video I’ve seen though with just facts and no scaremongering. Thanks.

Just got diagnosed with this after years of drs appointments. This helped me understand what’s going on a lot

[IanRM]

Hi, many thanks. I am not a medic but I recently had a bowel obstruction following an emergency appendectomy. The hospital gave me little information about the obstruct so your video was very interesting. Mine was rectified by gastrografin enema. (for the non medics here, gastrografin is a liquid taken orally that effectively acts as an enema.)

[ronkeamos]

You are a great teacher. I just came back from medical center and was told I have small mechanical bowel obstruction. I needed to understand what that really means and what could have caused it. You simplify the illness. Thank you.

[UnicornQueenJillyBean]

I think I may be experiencing this now. Waiting on a returned call from my GI Dr. Thank you for this video! It's very informative & easy to understand.
