    You by far the best lecturer on Youtube for pathology. I love your work. Clear and accurate information. Keep it up! 
  • @Mediforce
    Best lecture I have ever seen on liver tests. I now show it to all my health care students when we study the liver. Outstanding job sir!
  • New NP working in hepatology and liver transplant - YOU are life saver!!!!!
  • As an emergency medicine PA-C, with plans to go into academia later in my career, I appreciate your videos for review of general medical knowledge. The videos are engaging and the material is very well explained. I've directed PA students of mine to your videos to help them in their studies and to help understand laboratory and physical exam findings while on their clinical rotations with me. Keep up the great work! Your videos are invaluable to me.

  • @kwyatttime
    You make it so easy to understand. 11 minutes of listening and watching this video was better than an hour and a half of an egotistical lecture. I will look for more to reinforce other lectures.
  • @Mizzdre_
    Thank you sooooo much for doing these lectures. I referred to your lectures while I was working on my NP degree. Now I am working in Gastroenterology and your lectures are really helping me to pull all of this info together! I really reallllly appreciate you for sharing your knowledge and making the subject matter understandable in a very unique way. I don't know if you will read this but thanks for all you do!
  • @Riverbuny
    wow I wish I'd found you earlier, what a relief, thank you so much, finally things are making sense
  • @geochafg
    waiting for the 2nd part! thank you!
  • @bobbanana13
    Thanks for the video, its great and i have a clear concept on LFT now. just wanted to make some corrections. If i am wrong let me know: -gilbert syndrome is autosomal recessive (not dominant) -Extravascular hemolysis causes an increase in Indirect bilirubin. (not intravascular. intravascular causes hemoglobinemia and hemoglobinuria. extravascular hemolysis results in breakdown of the heme into unconjugated bilirubin)
  • @CleoandCoco
    These are very helpful for me as a PA student. Videos help me understand much more than books do, so this is perfect. Nice and clear.
