Bleeding Disorders (ITP vs TTP vs HUS vs DIC) || USMLE

My goal is to reduce educational disparities by making education FREE.
These videos help you score extra points on medical school exams (USMLE, COMLEX, etc.)
For educational purposes only; NOT medical or other advice.
Some videos contain mild profanity and hyperbole solely used to assist with memorization. Viewer discretion advised.
Opinions are entirely my own.

It would be amazingly helpful for those of us prepping for step 2 to have this video include treatment. :) From the Third Edition of Step up to Medicine ITP treatment: steroids/IVIG, THEN splenectomy, THEN romiplostim/eltrombopag. For TTP: Plasmapheresis, case by case basis for steroids and splenectomy, but transfusion is contraindicated. For HUS, the only thing I remember from Q banks was an emphasis to NOT give antibiotics in a patient with bloody diarrhea because it could actually trigger HUS. Medscape says that care is supportive.
