THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF YOUTUBE CHANNEL “ SURGICAL EDUCATOR” AND SELF APPRAISAL


Dear viewers,
·        Greetings from “Surgical Educator” to all of you.

·        I primarily launched this channel to teach students of my own institution- Melaka Manipal Medical College, Malaysia. However, since YouTube is an excellent global platform, I am able to reach out to students all over the world.
·        I love creating videos because it’s a powerful way to communicate, inspire and transform people’s life. After all, if “a picture is worth a thousand words”, I wonder what the worth of a video may be.
·        So far, I have uploaded 108 videos and the channel has recently crossed the milestones of 362Ks views and 10.2Ks subscribers.
·        To maintain the quality of my content, I am sharing all my videos in more than 120 Facebook groups- majority of them are surgical groups- so that if there are any mistakes it will be pointed out in the comment section of the YouTube and I also can rectify them.
·        By God’s grace, the major unique achievement of this channel is maintaining the first rank in YouTube SEO ranking continuously for the past one year. I am also getting many positive feedbacks from viewers across the world.
·         I honestly want to present quality surgical teaching videos to all my viewers and make their learning of surgery easy, fun and effective. I believe my teaching videos are making good impact on it’s viewers.
·        I humbly request all my viewers to help me in this mission of reaching out to as many medical students as possible with quality surgical teaching videos, by actively sharing these videos in your social medias. Also give your valuable suggestions to improve this channel further.

INGESTED FOREIGN BODY- No Piece Of Cake- Pediatric Surgery


#surgicaleducator  #babysurgeon
Dear Viewers,
·        Greetings from “ Surgical Educator”
·        Today I have uploaded a video on “Ingested Foreign Body- no piece of cake”.
·        Ingestion of foreign body is a common problem in children
·        In adults it is common in mentally retarded patients, psychiatric patients, prisoners and edentulous patients
·        Fortunately most of them pass through GIT harmlessly
·        10 to 20 % need non-operative endoscopic procedures to remove these objects. Only 1% need surgical intervention
·        I have discussed about epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology,classification, clinical features,investigations, treatment and prevention of Ingested Foreign Body
·        It is a fascinating and challenging problem. I hope this video will be useful to you and you will enjoy it.
