It takes longer to do in real time, with much more gagging. This is a bit fake, for me to watch . I've experienced it first hand., as the unfortunate patient. Beware of vomiting, during the gagging episode, or chocking. Some patients can't sip, and for them just attempting to swallow is best! NG tube placement is horrible.

I thought it was our idea but glad someone is teaching it that way. It prevents ramming the sinus tissues. Good point about the twisting of the tube, I can vouch for that technique; it works.
