I had my final exam of biology today. I wasn't prepared at all so I watched your videos yesterday and my exam went so well. I really wanna thank you. I don't know what I would have done without you. The way you explained every concept was incredible. They got stuck in my head. I will forever be thankful for youtubers like you who make such great efforts and explain better than those hours long class lectures in just few minutes. Thankyou very much. *Bows Down*

This is the *BEST EXPLANATION* we could ever have about spirometry ! i can't thank you enough sir you are seriously the best !

Wow, you just summarised a whole chapter in such a short space of time!!! Incredible how you pulled everything together. I think the biggest challenge with this chapter in resp is that lecturers don't make a good connection and everything seems disjointed. I love how you layered everything nicely into the 3 strata (from spirometry to flow-volume loops to the volume/time graph) such that it becomes apparent how obstruction and/or restriction translates across your strata of information.

I'm a final year MBBS student and this video helped me to revise an important topic in a much quicker and efficient manner! Wonderful channel !

3rd year medical student here....after 3 years of flipping this every possible way, I can finally say I understood this not just memorized it for my exam...Thanks to you sir!!

I am not even a Medical student, I am a Software Engineer. I went to the pulmonologist today and they performed this test in which I was asked to take the breathe in as much as I can and then breathe out with full force for a few seconds (around 6 seconds). My doctor said you have allergy. I was curious to understand my "Pulmonary Function Test Report Results" and I found your video very useful!
Than you!

I have watched numerous videos about obstructive and restrictive lung diseases just to make sense of the difference of these conditions but non really made the information stick. Your illustration and ability to synthesize the topic of lung volumes was the explanation I never knew I needed to make sense of all these! You are an amazing teacher! Thank you for this video!!!

Wow. So good. 👍 Just did these tests yesterday. Get results back in a few days. Now I’ll be able to interpret them. You gotta keep up with these doctors and not let them talk over your head.

your videos are a blessing to all struggling medical students

I m a physio prepping for the PCE. I want to sincerely thank you for all these detailed clear explanation. I simply couldn‘t have te-memorized all these concepts without watching your video.

Our lecturer sped past this in the speed of light 😭 The mix of numbers and abbreviations plus the speed he delivered it in left a lot of us so confused. This was a godsend, thank you so much!!!

[drsmurf]

Your notes are amazing, I learned a lot from them.
I wish one day to do the same thing with more specifics for all medical students worldwide ..
I followed you since 2014,
Continue your amazing work.

You have no idea how much i love you right now! I have been going around this subject for days and I cant quite understand it...

[dnnnforfordnnn]

I watch this video every few months. You're the best person to have explained this topic to me. I hate pulmo it's truly my weakness.

[dr.anamikagupta]

This is as short as possible, and bestest of all I came through till now.

[jorge.limafilho]

I never truly understood the principles of spirometry, and now I finally did! Thank you so much, Armando!!

[zillaboop]

You are literally the greatest teacher. Never stop teaching.

[mariahc.]

As an RT student in my last term, thank you so much for this. First time I can say I actually understand spirometry and not just remembering the “boxes” for exams!

[JimDean]

As a Sarcoisosis patient, I can't thank you enough for these videos. this has given me some great insight on what the numbers actually mean!
