This seems so nice. Patients come in, have appointments and Doctors actually have adequate time to do their jobs. 😭Pity that working for the nhs is not like this anymore. I love my job but with a packed patient list, current time pressures, patient's anger that they come to appointments with and unavailability of certain medications-this makes me feel like leaving every day.
Lol I loved the ending of this. As someone who’s disabled, & is often interacting with different nurses / doctors & receptionists, it’s nice to have some camaraderie & humour, makes the day go by quicker for all involved & takes some of the seriousness of out some situations, definitely helps alleviate a bit of stress ☺️ They’re all just normal folk like you & I who appreciate some light heartedness along the way. I love the gentlemen who has lung cancer, his humour & positivity is inspiring despite his prognosis. I do hope the young lady got her anaemia under control. It’s worth remembering you can’t ever overdose on iron as our bodies are clever, they’ll expel any excess - so if a Dr prescribed you iron tablets, just keep taking them even if you do change your diet! x
sadly not true about the iron! overdoing it on iron supplements can actually be really bad for your health but if you start out anaemic, even if you change your diet your body needs time to increase its stores so check with your dr before stopping the tablets
Only water-soluble vitamins (B and C) are expelled by the body when there is an excess. Taking high dose iron can build up ferritin stores, but overdosing on even a therapeutic dose can be harmful.
@@sean1592 Hi Sean / Cevan :) Thank you for letting me know about the potential to overdose on iron. I’ve asked my own GP this several times & he’s the one that gave me the above information that I left in my comment, I didn’t just pull it out of thin air.. I promise lol. I’ve recently had blood work back that showed increased red blood cells, & I was told years ago I was anaemic so I started taking multivitamins + iron. I’m still on them & I asked (for the hundredth time) if it was possible my daily dose could increase my red blood cell count, & he told me the above ^ that my body would expel anything I didn’t use. Now I’m concerned it is my multivit + iron! Thanks again, I’ll do some more research on it.
I understand the girl's worry about gluten free alternatives but she's knocking them before she's even tried them. I'm hugely gluten intolerant and after a few years I'm so used to gluten free pasta now that I hardly notice the difference. There are options out there, it's just about exploring and seeing what alternatives taste good for you.
As a former dietitian nutritionist with a full blown wheat allergy, the other issue with GF/WF options is the appalling amounts of sodium and additional salt they add to make the decent ones taste less like cardboard. Even switching to corn/oat flour alternatives is sometimes dodgy because while corn and oats are GF, they are often processed in facilities that handle wheat at the same time. It's a nightmare sometimes trying to find the proper products and maintain a healthy diet.
Certain food restrictions are harder in certain cultures. In many, bread is more than a food, it is in itself an eating tool, part of every meal. You pick your food with bread pieces instead of fork/spoon. Bread is also proudly made at home, daily, so celiac disease will mean not to be able to share certain elements of one's culture with one's family, an that is hard.
I just gave all of that up. Whole simple foods. Nothing processed. No soy (causes my joints to swell). Olive oil, avocado oil, very little butter (only dairy I eat). Just simple basic foods.
The first part of the video looks like the Birmingham Heartlands Hospital. I live round the corner from the Heartlands Hospital, 5 minutes walking distance.
Both of my parents (long time smokers) both died from lung cancer. By the time they found my dad's it had already spread to his brain. My mom's was in the upper left lung and was aggressive. It pressed against her heart. She was diagnosed and died a month later. Scans just a few months earlier it wasn't even seen. I had two uncles die from lung cancer too. They of course were the generation where smoking was actually recommended. Jeez.
does anyone know why the patient with lung cancer with suspected infection was given pholcodine (a cough suppressant)? wouldn't that just exacerbate the infection as the mucus isn't being expelled?
Hi. The infection isn’t in the mucus itself more it’s a product of the infection. Antibiotics (which the GP gave) would clear the underlying infection. The cough is clearly distressing for the patient, keeping him up at night, and with an already collapsed lung it’s important to balance risk and give cough suppressants to improve cough and prevent further damage.
There is an actual UA-cam channel called “GP: doctors behind closed doors” - not full episodes, but longer, and they let you know at the end how the patients were doing after the appointment.
@Maddie A I think it’s more patients, most appointments are over the phone rather then in person but most the camera are fixed in the room rather then actual camera crew
I appreciate that it has been cut around, but the GP a) did not request repeat bloods to confirm ttg levels, b) did not counsell about not cutting gluten out at this stage before the biopsy, before it confirmed, or discussed the risks even if asymptomatic 🤦♀️ c) not sure when this was fillmed but now with these high levels she would not need a biopsy to confirm CD
I suspect i have a gluten or wheat allergy and my gp said I shouldnt cut it out of my diet until Ive had a blood test to confirm smh. but I need to eat it to have a successful blood test, 6+ hours after eating my hands break out in hives, tops of my feet swell and I cant sleep with the itching under the skin rip, and rn i need the sleep more than a doc confirmation
Can't you burn the infected part of the lung away you could survive on one lung they do lung and heart transplants for cancers that's a drastic operation
Even if you removed all the tumour from the lung (remove the lung or transplant) the cancer will have travelled and started new tumours (mets) in other parts of the body (liver, brain etc)...so unfortunately if the cancer is too far gone then just removing the lung won't help.
@5:30 That Indian woman bothers me for some reason. It's almost like she's rolling her eyes at the doctor, as though "she doesn't know what she's talking about".
Shes rolling her eyes because she's shocked with what might be wrong with her, i dont think at any point shes thinking the Dr doesn't know what shes talking about ... it's a lot to absorb when you have to hear a whole lot of what might be wrong with you
I think she was stunned because she never thought it was a possibility. She never realised it was this bad and needs time to absorbs the information. She wasn't dismissive nor disrespectful, she's a young lady going to the doctor for low iron follow-up finding out she has an illiness that will change everything with her eating habits, soecialy considering she's vegetarian.
@@MLGBrownCat what no?? her antibody test came back positive. She changed her diet to include more iron and yet her iron levels remained the same so it's likely she's not absorbing it due to the coeliac disease
Dude coughing into his hand and then immediately shaking the doctor's hand at 8:35 made my 2021 self recoil.
Coughing in to his left hand shook hands with the right, what's the issue?

That poor girl shes a vegetarian. That would be very scary. Wheat would make up a large part of her diet.

Enlarged lymph nodes, permanently collapsed lung, infection ... I know where this is going.
I read on another comment that he passed away last week RIP Tony
I want to know what was so funny to the lady on the phone!
The first part of the video looks like the Birmingham Heartlands Hospital. I live round the corner from the Heartlands Hospital, 5 minutes walking distance.
Why wasn't Anthony referred to Hospice Care, a Nurse to visit him at home, Palliative Care.
Both of my parents (long time smokers) both died from lung cancer. By the time they found my dad's it had already spread to his brain. My mom's was in the upper left lung and was aggressive. It pressed against her heart. She was diagnosed and died a month later. Scans just a few months earlier it wasn't even seen. I had two uncles die from lung cancer too. They of course were the generation where smoking was actually recommended. Jeez.
Some times lung cancer can be condensed, difficult to see in "some" type scans, esp Xrays. AND aggressive.
does anyone know why the patient with lung cancer with suspected infection was given pholcodine (a cough suppressant)? wouldn't that just exacerbate the infection as the mucus isn't being expelled?
Hi. The infection isn’t in the mucus itself more it’s a product of the infection. Antibiotics (which the GP gave) would clear the underlying infection.

Its the lung cancer that's gonna get him, not a cough supressant, it also helps w/pain.
That poor guys cough
Where ever this country is, I do not want to seek medical treatment there!
England pretty bad aye!
3 years now since this I wounded what happened to the man with cancer and the young girl
Let's heal
I'm in US. Does anyone know how to watch full episodes?
Poss download channel 5?
Download My5 or try UA-cam.
come to the uk
It's also on Pluto TV in the UK
There is an actual UA-cam channel called “GP: doctors behind closed doors” - not full episodes, but longer, and they let you know at the end how the patients were doing after the appointment.
The man and women look like brother and sister.

What would we do with out them sometimes in our life
is this still being filmed now or relatively recently?
this these are from a while back, don’t think they’re being filmed atm cos of covid x
@Maddie A I think it’s more patients, most appointments are over the phone rather then in person but most the camera are fixed in the room rather then actual camera crew
I think it was around 2014-15
@Maddie A there was never any camera crew they have always had the fixed cameras around the surgery snd in the GPs rooms
I appreciate that it has been cut around, but the GP a) did not request repeat bloods to confirm ttg levels, b) did not counsell about not cutting gluten out at this stage before the biopsy, before it confirmed, or discussed the risks even if asymptomatic 🤦♀️ c) not sure when this was fillmed but now with these high levels she would not need a biopsy to confirm CD

i am surprised one collapsed lung and showing 97% oxygen saturation
Our body can work with one lung
@@Vijaythalapathy28 that means if covid patients show a drop in oxygen levels, then their whole lungs are compromised
Yikes! Lung cancer spread to lymph nodes and he’s seeing a GP? Why is he not at an oncologist?
I don't know maybe they need referral or something , yeah that is not make sense
The oncologist probably already told him his options.

They don’t do surgery because it’s stage 4 and it has spreaded to the body chemo slows the cancer cells dosent fully stop it you need slot of chemo

The girl with the iron deficiency be posting it all over social media. She will be snapchatting pics of herself in a hospital bed.
@5:30 That Indian woman bothers me for some reason. It's almost like she's rolling her eyes at the doctor, as though "she doesn't know what she's talking about".
I understand her feeling that way, it was a shock for her to be told all that information and she's just weighing up the downsides in her head
Shes rolling her eyes because she's shocked with what might be wrong with her, i dont think at any point shes thinking the Dr doesn't know what shes talking about ... it's a lot to absorb when you have to hear a whole lot of what might be wrong with you
dude no, she's just upset about the news. I have coeliac disease and was diagnosed when I was 14 and cried when I found out lol
