Dr Seheult, you are incredibly gifted and i love listening and learning. I am a nurse and you make the "why", which is how i learn, come alive. Thank you sir for your generosity in putting this out there for us

[fidelisetverus]

Wished I had this medcram video when I was doing my critical care internship. I struggles to understand them. My preceptor was so knowledge but i just couldn't understand his explanations and felt so intimidated by his knowledge and everything else going on with our pts as well. Did slowly learned them and stuck it out. Stayed for 26 yrs and justight come.back to ICU as I've enjoined having to push myself learn more. Can't explain it. I'll be watching more of your videos for sure. Thanks for explaining it where it is easy to comprehend. This will be helpful to so many med students and nurses at bedside, especially in ICU. 👍

I am a nurse and listen to lost of your lectures. It has helped my learning so much! It is so appreciated!

I’m a LVN and i’m taking the prerequisites for the RN bridge program. My goal is to either be a ER or ICU nurse and then be a flight nurse. I’m glad I came across your channel. I’m watching them for the hell of it and I’m sure when I start the RN program, everything that I’m learing from your channel will come in handy.

[GlowofaGhost]

Literally one of the best to the point mini lectures I’ve ever seen . Watching this bc I’m going to apply for CVICU RN bc I’m maxed out in my cards role currently. Looks like I’ll have plenty to learn and looks like a lot of fun. Thanks!!

Hi! May be possible to have a similar video regarding inotropes meds instead please? This one about vasopressors is very clear and perfect, it would be perfect having one about inotropes as well or even about the main differences between the 2 groups of drugs! Thanks a lot, I really love your videos!:)
