The last part was just so, sorry for the lack of vocabulary, touching. As a cardiothoracic surgery resident and a family member of coronary artery disease patient myself, I know it is so hard to teach students and patients the very disease that is affecting one of your own. Thank you again for making anatomy so clear, concise and interesting to learn.
Future Neurologist here. Thank you for making me better. I will try to help as much as possible to patients. May your mom rest in peace. I also lost my mom to car accident when I was a teenager.
Dr. Morton, thank you so much for taking the time and energy to make these videos! Our neuro professor is great, but I feel like your ability to animate your lectures and use dynamic cross-sections really brings the material to life. Thank you also for sharing about your mother's experience. As a future PT, it's motivating to hear about the personal and clinical aspects of neurology, and how we can make a difference :)
Im currently a nursing student and this video really helped me understand the difference between them two. The last part made me very emotional because the way you spoke and taught was so brilliant that it really touched me at the end. Thank you very much and god bless you and your mom.
Your mother looks like an amazing woman. I found your video searching for information about how to diagnose Bells Palsy for my mother Candy, and like your situation I will do anything to help her! One kidney, 3 fake vaccine doses, cancer surgery on her forehead preformed in a doctors "office" (no surgical setting), and a huge button size tumor that was growing on her upper shoulder? I love her so much - but the "specialists" never consider the Co factors? Thank you for sharing, I'm trying not to cry; I bet your mother is very proud of you. Thanks again, I appreciate your effort! Great presentation also! You have a lovely voice!
Thank you for sharing your story at the end, this is one of the most touching and personal lectures I've heard in a while. And really really love all your explanations - concise coherent jargon-free, thank you! :)
Thank you so much for the video and the very touching story of your Mum. God bless her soul and you're probably helping save so many more lives by educating medical students and doctors to better serve their patients.
Thankyou for this it has helped me understand as I thought I had experienced a stroke. Just diagnosed with bells palsy, in which the Dr. described everything you just spoke about. God bless your beautiful Madre. 🙏
Thank you Dr Morton. It was a wonderful refresher course for my family physician training as I changed my career from obs and gynae after 20 yrs to FM. Can't thank you enough. God bless you both
Thank you for all you do to share your knowledge of the wonderful creation we know as the human body. I found the tribute to your mom to be very moving. May God continue to bless and comfort your family.
Thanks for the physical therapy shout out, I'm a second year DPT student and will see patients with both of these conditions in the future. It's great to know the reasoning behind them. Thank you for all your videos, you really help me understand this material with you teaching style.
Thank you for excellent explanations & diagrams. I’m sorry for your loss. The kindness your voice exudes is truly a rare gift to your patients and their advocates! I am getting a clearer understanding of a traumatic brain injury my adult child incurred after birth. It’s medically complicated by nerve damage as well as diffuse encephalopathy from oxygen deprivation. The body is an incredible, repairable miracle! Stay well.👍
Thank you for sharing about your mom's story, she must be really proud of you :) And thank you for making this topic easily to understand :) You're really a great teacher!
Your videos are breath-taking and incredible. They inspire me to study anatomy in great detail. I'm a medical student at the moment, I hope to use the knowledge you've taught me through these videos, not just the anatomy but the diseases in great detail, when I graduate as a doctor.
Thank you so much for all your videos I finally understand brainstem nuclei! I love that you teach with practical knowledge and understanding because I cannot for the love of me memorise things I dont understand. Also God bless your mum for raising you! Thank you again!
I am preparing for residency applications and have been watching your lectures for my review and this particular one really touched my heart. As someone who has lost my father to a stroke, I relate to the fact that that even has changed my life and path forever. As a someone who is hoping to become a neurologist or an internist in the future, your words definitely resonate with me. Thank you so much for this gift. Rest in peace to your wonderful mother. I do hope that our parents are having a great time in heaven.
Hi Kathleen, thank-you for your kind words and thoughts. I am sorry to hear about your Father and his stroke. It is tough. I wish you all of the best in your studies and clinical duties.
@@TheNotedAnatomist wow I didn't expect a response. This made my day. Thank you very much. I find it both challenging and rewarding to be a doctor and a teacher at the same time and now that residency is fast approaching, I hope I'll be able to continue teaching after I specialize. I do hope you don't mind if I reference your videos as additional suggested learning materials to my students. I told them I learned from you. Hope all is well on your side.
@@kathleenfayemenciasrayos9459 Yes, challenging and rewarding are a great way to describe it. What residency are you going into? Yes, feel free to share as you please. One of the reasons i like RU-vid is that the videos are easy to access for everyone. Many of them have a workbook associated with them. You can access them at my website thenotedanatomist.com ... i am hoping to update the site this year.
I worked at an extended care facility, the nurses would tell us that strokes usually come in threes. Usually the first two are leading to a big one. It’s helpful to know if you have a family member. Then keep that cayenne tincture on hand, I have seen it work
Family medicine resident from Canada here. My classmates and I used to watch your videos in med school and quiz each other. I stumbled upon this video when I saw a case of Bell's Palsy in the ER last night. Haven't commented before on YT but felt like I needed to thank you for the excellent and touching video. I had a couple of question though. The patient that I saw had.decrease sensation to pinprick in V1/V2 distribution on the side of the facial palsy. We shouldn't expect sensory deficits with Bell's, right, because that would be CN V? Also, I checked for sensation on the patient's tongue? If the facial nerve is involved wouldn't I expect to notice sensory deficits there?
Hi Hissan, i just happened to be getting a video ready and saw your message. Thanks for your kind words. You are correct in that Bells Palsy classically only effects the Facial nerve proper, which provides motor to muscles of facial expression including the forehead. Sensory deficits would only be trigeminal nerve and should not be affected. Unless the Bells Palsy was caused by something in the pontine region of the brainstem (i.e., neuroma) that affects CN VII and CN V). Sensation of the tongue (touch, temp, pain) is through the lingual branch of V-3 so it should be ok with Bells Palsy. Taste sensation of the anterior tongue is through the facial nerve (chorda tympani branch) so it should also be unaffected by Bells Palsy. This is a great question ... why would your patient have decreased sensation if not for something else in the brainstem? If you find out please let me know.
I am in final year of med school and this is the first time I’ve been able to understand the difference between Bell’s Palsy and Stroke. Your mother must be really proud of you ! ❤️
@TheNotedAnatomist Hell is real, demons are real, the devil is real, God loves you, and does not want you to end up in hell. Give Jesus a chance, he payed for your sins on the cross, so you don't have to. Your soul and salvation is worth infinitely more than you can ever imagine. Do not carelessly, ignorantly or foolishly throw it away. Turn to Jesus and he will save you and those who you know, from the fires and torments of hell Look into God's true word (The Holy Bible) as it is a love letter from God to you, so you can be saved (it will be the most important thing you ever read/look into) For those who do not believe or unfortunately believe in false religions and doctrines, the evidence/proof you seek, is only a click or search away
Rest in Peace Mrs. Morton. What a wonderful, intelligent, empathetic son you have raised. I am so thankful for your videos, and the amount of information I learn from them. God bless.
I used to love all your lectures, and your channel is my go-to videos .. but this one? It’s really touchable and May god bless your mum as she raised such a great teacher like you
Going into the lecture I felt like "okay i'll just memorize this" but that tidbit at the end makes me feel like "i have to understand and never forget this." Thank you Dr. Morton.
Thank you for sharing the story of your mother Dr. Morton, sorry for your loss. I don't personally know you, but I reckon with great assurance she is very proud of you as a human-being, and mentor/professor. As a I student, I am truly grateful for these lectures, please continue to positively impact our learning experience, and playing that guitar! Best, -FJLF
@@real_diet_of_spirit it has been 2 months since i have this issue, i feel weakness mostly around my mouth region. Yes even eye moments are little weak.. is this bells palsy? Will it change my lips, cheeks, facial structure??
Thank you so much for sharing something that was so personal to you. I’m studying for my residency match but going through the same topic that affected me so deeply because of which I lost my dad. I appreciate your efforts in explaining things your own unique way, lots of love to your mum. Your online student from Pakistan ❤️
So the only major difference between Bell’s palsy and stroke is the smooth forehead. Makes sense to me. I got Bell’s palsy back in March 2020 and it felt like the right half of my face had been hit by a truck basically. That’s how scary it was.
