because of this video that I remembered that you make informational videos for health professionals and I'm the weird one that watches cranial nerve exams to sleep... with that said, you do an amazing job at both :)
Seriously! I think it’s his voice. He has a beautiful voice. I haven’t yet figured it out. But by what has been said. I do believe soothing would not be far off ✌🏻🫶🏻
Usually, his comment section is full of pleasant; grateful people. His approach to things would probably make people not want to leave lewd or rude comments anyway. Dr. James Gill; the king of calmly describing medical exams and conditions in a caring manner. This king is also great at describing what they look for when doing exams and explaining medical terminology. People seem to respect him greatly.
I’ve had a few of these, I usually decline a chaperone when it’s my usual doctor but I’ve since realised how the chaperone is reassuring and important for the doctor as well so next time I would probably agree for his sake as well!
I’m personally not bothered but you do also have to consider that for many patients who find the courage to talk about problems that require such an examination, the thought of more people witnessing it than what they felt is “necessary” can put them off wanting a chaperone. I think the doctor shouldn’t offer then say no I won’t do the exam if you say no. Because then it can feel like you weren’t actually giving them a choice for no chaperone and obviously the more control people have in delicate (and for some people actually traumatic) situations the more secure they will feel. I think it’s more sensible to say that for the doctors and patients protection a chaperone should be there and then let the patient make their choice whether or not to proceed with the examination with all the info on what the choices actually are!
@@wolfmoon5720Agree. I don't personally have anyone in my life that would not make this more uncomfortable for me, but I can suck up my feelings for 5-10 seconds of discomfort and the chance to catch and treat cancer
This video was informative as to what the doctors were doing specifically when I had this last year prior to a sigmoidoscopy. Not a pleasant experience but better than not getting checked and giving cancer chance to spread. Also, in this instance, as well as the sigmoidoscopy, I was told more than once that I could back out at any point - which was important, particularly as I disclosed mental health issues related to childhood trauma in this area. Patient autonomy feels especially important in exams like these (all clear on the cancer front thankfully and it was weirdly interesting watching the sigmoidoscopy on a big screen!)
I've had quite a few and it's nothing to worry about. If you can, get a female doctor to do it. They have thinner fingers, are more gentle and more sympathetic. Due to the shortage of male GPS, the female doctors do these all the time. A female doctor did mine 8 years ago and I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I'm on active surveillance with an mri each year. I had initially gone to see the gp about a sore foot but I told her it had been over a decade since my last dre and she offered me one there and then. She offered a chaperone but I declined and within minutes it was all done and dusted.
@@DrJamesGillmay I ask where the best medical mannequins are from ? I’m currently learning administration of PRN medications, in particular suppositories and training aids would greatly improve understanding. Sadly my provider unfortunately doesn’t posses such training aids
I don’t know why I’m here, but I love that you talk about having manners and trying to make it as dignified as possible. Also that prosthetic is hilarious 😂
Thanks for approaching this subject with such emphasis on patient dignity. Coming from a computer background, not medical, I expected rather a different kind of "digital".
I know I already spoke about this in another video about the DRE, but thank you so much for making this video Dr! As someone who lost my grandpa to prostate cancer 9 years ago (and I still miss him every single day), every opportunity of spreading awareness about prevention exams is extremely important... Please don't feel shy or embarrassed to get a DRE, a PSA blood check or even a pelvic CT stan/MRI, those exams can save your life! Please take care of yourselves and your loved ones 💙
Excellent video, Dr. Gill. Informative videos like these are vital and extremely helpful for us students preparing for upcoming exams. Although it may be unpleasant type of examination, you executed it very well with the highest profesionalism. Thank you for all you do.
I always love thorough explanations of what you do and why so this was very informative and helps me understand the necessity. As someone with anxiety and sensory processing disorder it’s very calming to know how things are done because knowing what to expect can help me prepare ahead of time and calm me down but also allow me to prepare the practitioner for any involuntary reactions my body might have in response as a result of my sensory processing disorder to help protect them too. Well done!
Thank you for this informative presentation. I have had a couple as an adult. I still remember as a young child having one, petty sure mum was not in the room that I can remember. I have no memory of why I needed this. I was between 4 and 10 years old. It still bothers me today. Was this an untoward exam. I will never know. This was some 40 to 45 years ago.
I love how you stress the importance of consent in the patient understanding the procedure. I wish more doctors are like that. I have to ask though, what's with the apron? Are you expecting splashback?
I always tell my doctor to take his time and do a thorough examination. And, always insist on having at least four other people there in the room....It won't be a party otherwise...
Hey James, even though it’s not about this exam hahah did you ever watch the Adam Kay this is going to hurt series and if so what did you think of the series?
It’s important that everyone feels comfortable in a consultation. It’s important to highlight that men are typically more hesitant to proceed with the exam, perhaps as men tend to engage less with their health than women ?
Would definitely want my wife in the room for that one. I'm sure she'd find it all highly amusing, but way too uncomfortable a situation to be there alone with a male doctor, and being alone with a female doctor presents other concerns.

im happy you didn't shy away from making this informative video
I try - we teach the student’s to include or offer a DRE and these sorts of trainers are rhetorical best way for them to learn
this video is also very important for the patients: knowing what to expect, and reminding them how professional this gesture is.
Well as a 58 year old male. I still expect and will keep my pants buckled
Extremely brave to leave the comments on. And so far pretty tame...
Looks like the "Men of culture" aren't interested in this. I wonder why?

Not expecting but appreciate all the same as we learn all things medical
@@Honestly_take_the_hint Yes of course!
This is very important to us men.

I have no idea why this video was suggested to me, but great work regardless. Very respectfully done and I'm glad the comments are tame.
Maybe you are of age where you need to consider doctor visits? Perhaps that’s why you are getting this?
If the good Dr Gill can make *this* procedure sound soothing (which he has), he can make *any* procedure sound soothing.
Very interesting! I'm not a doctor, but i feel like i have learned important stuff!
This is insane. The music in the intro makes it so surreal. This is the best video on UA-cam.
good video and great information, much thanks Dr. G.
Hey, Doc...some bum's just crashed on your couch!
You sir win the internet today!
boo 😠

Where uh can I uh get one of those models? Asking for a friend
This Is very informativa for the general públic. I didn't know that we needed this. Thanks again Dr.!
I love how you stress the importance of consent in the patient understanding the procedure. I wish more doctors are like that.
I have to ask though, what's with the apron? Are you expecting splashback?
So you know of any companies that allow the rental of these mannequins especially prostate simulators?
I’ve already dreaded the thought that someday I’ll need to have this done
Extremely informative video. Thank you Dr Gill.
I wonder what else he does to that when the office is closed.
I've had my share of recurring prostatitis and urinary incontinence etc. This exam os unpleasant but very necessary.
Twisted both ankles running to the comments
What's the general consensus on the age men should get this done? Every year starting at 50? 55?
If they get symptoms. It’s not a screening tool. So a 20 yr old may need the exam, or a 70 y/o
@@DrJamesGill I understand. Thank you for replying.
Thanks doctor very informative
Do doctors do a analog exam along with a digital exam?😊
would that involve the tongue?
I bet Dr Gill’s pleased this one’s now in the rear view mirror!
If you aren't comfortable with someone checking you in this way, it's important to monitor yourself. Stay safe and healthy. ❤
This is easily my favourite type of exam!
Doesn't look very digital to me Doc, seems quite analogue.
Digitus is Latin for finger, hence the name.
@@KowabrassI suspect they knew that and were making a joke.
HA!
🥱
The British Dr. DRE 👌🏻
I'm definitely hitting unknown portions of my bucket list with this one.
It’s on your bucket list you just didn’t know that.
This was quite Interesting but I couldn’t help but laugh at first but Keep Up The Great Work Dr Gills👌
He didn’t forget about DRE
Thank you. I was scrolling, starting to wonder why such a comment wasn't the first that would appear.
What is a chaperone, in this case?
Thank you. For your insights.
That intro was wild
Couldn’t find any volunteers for this video?
I always tell my doctor to take his time and do a thorough examination. And, always insist on having at least four other people there in the room....It won't be a party otherwise...
tanto tiempo y no han sacado otra forma?
I didn't know that the prostate had that two distinct lobes of.
And also, the doc can wipe one's bottom- that's better, because he/she can see.
Interesting
We all made the right decision clicking on this video.
Well, at least we don’t have to worry about sandwich breath with this one.
“Where should I put my pants, Dr?” “Over on the chair next to mine.” Wrong answer!
😂 I lolled
This guy 's a legend!
That finger went in deeper than I thought
😅😅😅😅😅
That’s what she/he said…
Sorry to break it to you but some doctors might have thick sausage fingers. Just a heads up for you when it’s your time.
@@jdos5643 The bigger the better... the male g-spot loves it!!
😂Which hell brought me to this video in the middle of the night... Well, if so, let me learn a bit out of it😂
When is David coming back as a patient in a video, we haven’t seen him in ages.
I don't know what's wrong with me but I kept expecting him to lick the finger afterwards. I'm assuming that's frowned upon though.
The impressiin to be for life!
Can A Female Doctor Do This Procedure?
I've had a female do me once.
Absolutely. Gender doesn’t come into medical care delivery
Why not? There are male gynecologists and there are female urologists. Same thing.
@@DrJamesGill Thank You For The Answer
Waiting for the "men of culture" guys to post on this one 😉
Hey James, even though it’s not about this exam hahah did you ever watch the Adam Kay this is going to hurt series and if so what did you think of the series?
Can you do a bloopers video called “medical examinations gone wrong?”
No live model? SMH
Was looking for ASMR... Stumbled upon ARSE
Even tho it may look uncomfortable it is very important because cancers/disease's can occur there just as well as other places
I've had enough of these, I could probably demonstrate it
informative
You DEFINITELY should mention about disinfection of the torch since cross contamination will occur. You did not do this.
Interesting, can you tell me your thinking? As the torch shouldn’t touch the patient
I'm sure the comments section will be mature and respectful...
This is not the planet jokes.
“Annnnd the doctor will be in shortly”
somewhere in the world goatse is watching this going “just a couple digits? hold my beer”
Well.. here we all are!
Hey doc, curious on why u become that type of doc
I’d never even get this exam if I had to bring someone along for it. Guess I’d just die from whatever.
oh, oh no, that's not my regular asmr with Dr. Gill
Sounds like a good time to me
Scary as heck!
Welp. I'm here for the show
It cracks me up how he says it's important to make the male so comfortable because for us women were just in and out lmao😅
It’s important that everyone feels comfortable in a consultation. It’s important to highlight that men are typically more hesitant to proceed with the exam, perhaps as men tend to engage less with their health than women ?
The one time when you don't ask for a second opinion 👉 😳
5 seconds????! the first time I got a rectal exam 15 yrs ago it was over 10 minutes. I thought something was wrong. 😳😳😳
The algorithm has spoken
Oh my word what a thumbnail to appear at the top of my feed! 🙈
Yeah I think not !! Exit only.
Usually, your videos help me to fall asleep, but this one gave me anxiety. LOL
Would definitely want my wife in the room for that one. I'm sure she'd find it all highly amusing, but way too uncomfortable a situation to be there alone with a male doctor, and being alone with a female doctor presents other concerns.
Why was this recommended to me 😨😭
I took this seriously.
Until 4:07 😂
I wouldn’t have this exam done if my life depended on it - literally. I would rather die
Wuss
❤
5:30 Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. 😆
Huh...gloves... I have seen
an apron... that's new to me
Ruptured hemorrhoids could shoot blood all over the doctor.
I thought this was dr Dre’s new album imagine my surprise
Dr Gill should've putabitoftoiletpaper to troll the audience.
You forgot to do CPR
