Am 43 and just started nursing training after a couple of decades not studying. This made more sense than anything I've read. Thank you so much!!

I'm only 11 and know for sure I want to major in medicine. This is a great start. I may be early but that just means more time to study.

I'm back in school (college) after being out of high school for over 30 years. I'm new to the whole idea of taking classes, and this class was assigned to me as an online class. I'm struggling to make sense of it all and just learned more in the last 10 minutes than I did when I studied for hours by myself using the book. thank you!

This is the best video on medical terminology I have ever seen. I learned more watching this than reading my textbook. Thank you so much for creating this content.

Thank you for generously taking the time to make these videos. I'm about to start a graduate medicine degree with only a humanities degree as background. These videos are helping me get a foothold at the right level. Thank you!!

I'm 55 and halfway through an accelerated VN program. I wish I would've found this sooner. This made things so much easier. Thank you so much!!!

Nearly 9 years later, this video is quite helpful for any student looking into the medical field! Thanks! I also agree with the whole "getting over the initial panic", it gets easier.

I look forward to watching the rest of these lessons, which are easy to comprehend and that is accomplished by the pitch and humor of the teacher/speaker.  Well done!

Even for someone like me - native speaker of Italian with a solid background in Latin and Greek - this video was very instructive. Simple and to the point. Great!

Hello. Thank you for posting these lessons on Youtube. I am a starting Russian OVI interpreter. I still feel myself like a rookie and believe this content of ThePenguinProf will be handy all the time. Greeting from the Russian speaking world. Keep sharing! Together we can. All the best.

This was an excellent introduction to medical terminology. It doesn't seem to be a difficult subject to get your head around once you know what the individual parts mean. Made me smile a few times as well as you added your personality. Much appreciated, thank you!

[CajunGoblin]

I'm just now starting Vet Tech school. This has helped me more than you will ever know!

[DC-xbdp]

This was really helpful. I'm currently doing a fast-track medical terminology class in uni, and we're prepping for the final. It's been rather overwhelming but your video really helped reenforce the learning.
