A minor deviation in terms of videos this week. Still on a medical theme, so I have not wandered too far from the fold. However, this one is for people involved in sports. Presumably an area with a great propensity towards injury, given there is an entire discipline dedicated to it.
The video is this one:
Examining The Wrist: A Guide for Sports Physicians and Physiotherapists
As we have established previously professional videos have a higher tendency towards having associated notes. We’ve also established that within a playlist on a channel of this type all the notes have a tendency to follow a theme.
The notes with this video state “

Roger Hawkes, Chief Medical Officer, European Tour Performance Institute, and Doug Campbell, Wrist and Hand Surgeon, Leeds Teaching hospitals NHS Trust, guide you through examining the wrist.
Having studied the wrist on the European Tour (golf) for the last four years, they show the simple tests to use in day-to-day practice, and the common pathological findings.

The video permits comments and there are a number of those. As expected, ASMR fans are here well before me. I wonder if there is some secret channel where all of these videos are already listed and I am merely repeating in an amateur fashion the indexing work of some ASMR-associated professional.
The video is slightly over fifteen minutes, so not huge, and it has the bugbear of all ASMR fans, startup music. Worse, energetic startup music. This is not immediately a video designated to assist you off to sleep. The first presenter Roger Hawkes Chief Medical Officer European Tour Performance Institute starts off a bit loud. Whilst he is talking the music is still hanging in there like yesterday’s intransigent flu symptoms.
The second Presenter is Doug Campbell Consultant Hand and Wrist Surgeon Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
As soon as Doug starts to speak, we feel we are on a surer footing ASMR-wise as he has a substantially more gentle voice. If only the start of the video hadn’t been ambushed by marketing and brand identity.
Still, we have given videos a try with more challenging beginnings.
At one and a half minutes into the video the examination begins and for me the entire video should have begun here. It would then have been much more suitable for ASMR. However, so far I have not found a setting for truncating videos so that the startup nonsense can be dispensed with.
As expected, the portion of the video in which Doug appears is much more relaxing than the portion in which Roger presents.
For ASMR purposes it would be great to take the video and chop out of it the extraneous loud bits. However, I do not own it, and so sadly we’ll have to run with it as is.
Including the equally jarring tail-end music.
The channel is British Journal of Sports Medicine (BJSM), which has one hundred and thirty five videos – a fair number to cover I’m sure you’ll agree.
There are twelve playlists and a number of those contain only one video.
Our video is contained in one of these, a playlist called Examining the wrist.
Checking through the remaining one hundred and thirty four videos we find that neither Doug, Roger nor the “patient” appear in any further videos on the site, so it appears this is the only one this week.
Why not use the time to get some more sleep.
The overall playlist of videos covered so far on the Procrastination Pen is here:
The videos weeded out because over time they are just not as good as the others is in this archive list:
I keep this in case subscribers to the Procrastination Pen have personal favourites that they want to hear.
The playlist of videos requiring age verification is here:
I can’t be bothered to stop my listening to log on, this interrupts the experience. You may not mind this in which case this list is for you.
I hope that you find the playlists restful and I hope you get plenty of sleep.
