Embarrassing bodies on Netflix

You should check it out it's a British show and they don't censor! Very fascinating in my opinion!

I saw this was recently added on Netflix and I thought, wow Americans are too prudish to have a show like this.

So can you give us any advice on what episodes contain great exams?

Pretty much all of the episodes have exams

This is a great show! First saw clips on YouTube. I have watched 3 or 4 espisodes and have enjoyed every one,

I have watched it, and being from the UK, its interesting to watch seeing people being asked to come and discuss medical issues and be examined and get it done free without any mention of insurance or money!

Although health care in the UK may appear to be with out charge there are compulsory payments taken from any person working in the UK. These are deducted at source by employers or collected by the inland revenue for those who are self employed. These deductions known as national insurance contributions go towards the cost of health care and the pension service. The National Health Service is in crisis, there are government cut backs and people coming from abroad abusing the "free" service.

I would like to add: the staff at the NHS do an absolutely brilliant job under very difficult circumstances.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, someone has to pay.

Oh, we pay the same here in the US, its called Social Security, its taken at source, then we pay for our medical insurance on top of that and co pays and deductions. Believe me the UK system is better

I watched part of the first episode, taking place in Leeds. I came away with an enormous respect for the average physician who has to deal with the range of maladies affecting the average person. On the show, the doctors are patient, good humoured, and unfailingly gracious in dealing with the "walk-ins" . Some of the stuff they deal with is graphic and difficult for a layman to watch if you are a bit squeamish.

Absolutely about that it can be hard to watch I couldn't even watch the foot warts one I had to fast forward lol. Definitely some gross stuff and yes totally an appreciation of medical professionals who made these people feel 100% comfortable with coming forward with their problems and their shame.

Being in the UK, I saw these when they were first broadcast over here. I agree about some of it being hard to watch. I also thought that some of the sections they did interacting with the general public and asking questions about topics that had been raised in the "clinic" were quite revealing. I seem to remember a couple of episodes that concentrated on the genitals and how people think theirs are "wrong"; and managing to highlight that there is no such thing as "normal". This is even more concerning when I recently saw an article on the BBC about girls as young as 9 wanting vaginal surgery because they didn't like its appearance (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-40410459).

Unfortunately it's not available on German Netflix.
