MedCram = MORE understanding in LESS time

MedCram: Medical education topics explained clearly including: Respiratory lectures such as Asthma and COPD. Renal lectures on Acute Renal Failure and Adrenal Gland. Internal medicine videos on Oxygen Hemoglobin Dissociation Curve and Medical Acid Base. A growing library on critical care topics such as Shock, Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA), and Mechanical Ventilation. Cardiology videos on Hypertension, ECG / EKG Interpretation, and heart failure. VQ Mismatch and Hyponatremia lectures have been popular among medical students and physicians. The Pulmonary Function Tests (PFTs) videos and Ventilator-associated pneumonia bundles and lectures have been particularly popular with RTs. NPs and PAs have given great feedback on Pneumonia Treatment and Liver Function Tests among many others. Dr. Jacquet teaches our FAST exam tutorial & bedside ultrasound courses. Many nursing students have found the Asthma and shock lectures very helpful. We're starting a new course series on clinical ultrasound/ultrasound medical imaging.

Recommended Audience - Medical professionals and medical students: including physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, nurses, respiratory therapists, EMT and paramedics, and many others. Review and test prep for USMLE, MCAT, PANCE, NCLEX, NAPLEX, NBDE, RN, RT, MD, DO, PA, NP school and board examinations.

This was so good. Thank you so much for the simplification.

[howtomedicate]

It is always good to recap ECG findings! Great video.

[brad]

This is superb. What a systematic explanation. Thank you <3

[olubunmiajao]

Thanks for making it simple! Great job!!

[amaranathl]

I follow your lectures .so good and practical Thank you

[mashawndlczabala]

Awesome video! Can you discuss chemo drugs please thanks

Hello Dr.Seheult. I am a telemetry technician and I have taken an EKG course; however, I have never worked as an EKG tech and I don’t get to see an interpretation often. Would I be able to purchase your course even though I am not a medical student? I am looking to expand my knowledge and understand to a degree what cardiologists are explaining. Thank you!

I wish I can just upload information to my brain…. There is so much to this EKG…

Greetings doctor I’m kind worried although I have no symptoms of dvt/PE but by coincident  while I walked in to Anylabtest center where you walk in and order any labs you want by paying cash I usually do that Annually for checkups I want your opinion I tested a complete lab work including inflammatory markers and lipid panel all normal my only concern was my D.dimer value was 0.68mcg/ml cutoff is 0.50 what do you think in regard to dvt/pe probability 🤔 shall I do a venous ultrasound or even multi-detector helical computed axial Thanks 🙏 forgot to mention that My BMI is 21.8 weight 148ibs I’m 5’9 47 years of age and workout daily and I’m vegan and no family history of clotting disorders or strokes but just HTN and DM and I feel fine I’m just curious to see if I have actual clots somewhere forming in my body 🤔 plus my IGg/IGm test for covid was negative 🤔 my SPO2 is 99% and normal temps 🤷🏽‍♂️

I still don’t have my EKG’s straight- thanks for the video!
