Great work Roger...Concise & yet highly educative. Will definitely think about getting a subscription in the future but the prices are too steep for me currently. Can we expect the rest of this series on youtube anytime in the future.

If someone can answer me please, so is it possible to monitor the respiratory rate or tidal volume and from that we can estimate if the patient has (PNA or not)

Why is Health checkup so expensive in USA. In my country people get checked up all of their problems in individual department at just Rs. 60 (60 cent USA) with very good doctors. Can you believe it? I mean what do you even get with 60 cents?!
Just wanted to share!

We will make massive steps...we need to have faith in the people that are dealing with it and fighting it . I trust their brains and will power.
