Hyponatremia and fluids are one of the hardest concepts to grasp--at least in my view--and thankfully you have clearly explained this concept in a way I visualize it and understand it! Thank you SO much! I'm a pharmacy student on a critical care rotation in a burn unit and was told to look up how to to workup/assess and treat hyponatremia and after watching & taking notes on these videos I feel absolutely confident to explain this concept!

[danielajaramilloramirez]

Wow, It's amazing to learn from teachers who teach with passion. Thanks. "if you can't explain it simply you don't understand it well enough", you've made ir pretty simple. <3

[merlinsamuelkutty]

High level of patience required to watch this video MAN!!!!

[Medcram]

Glad you found the series useful. We'll put Hypernatremia on the slate for a future lecture. We are doing a vote on our MedCram Facebook page for the next topic to be covered. Take a look if you get a chance.

I've read so many books and attended so many talks but never like this. Many thanks Roger, you have no idea how many people you have had helped. I'm still waiting for hypernatremia.

[Medcram]

Glad to clear things up completely. Thanks for the feedback.

[skomura]

I can't believe there are people who don't like this video. Thank You. This is awesome!

[subhash]

'hypo' meaning low, 'nat' meaning sodium, 'emia' meaning presence in blood... low sodium presence in blood...😉😉

seriously though, huge thanks for this series🙏

[MsBethgoodhouse]

I am living with this nightmare. I have been in and out of rhe hospital constantly thie last few years. I'm tired of it! Came close to dying a few times.

At least now, I know what's going on with me now. Hopefully I can my potassium and sodium right so I can finally feel good again, I and stay healthy. 😊

For all the med students here: know that consumption of mdma can lead to Hyponatremia. So if you have a patient coming from a nightclub, don‘t forget that it could be Hyponatremia and you may save a life.

[mahershqeir]

Why only the first video is there ? The 3 other videos of the series are hidden 🥲

[ikramadha]

It's really good to finally understand the basic things here. Thanks

[rajg]

Thanks for your efforts Sir! Seems this was for medical students..Please summarize in lay man language symptoms n treatment so that normal people also have some knowledge

[Otonyable]

[wongguge]

Your video is amazing!! If possible don't write over on your note, they are already very clear.

[pattigmullins]

Unbelievable that after two years of nursing school, I don't think I ever COMPLETELY understood WHY 0.9% NS was what you used. Thanks so much!

[yolandawilliamson]

This was the most terrifying experience of my life!
