This is incredible! I’ve rewatched those at least twelve times so far. Thank you again for continuing to help others by doing this!

Hello. I'm about 4 months away from starting EMT class. I'm trying to figure out if I should learn medical terminology, anatomy and physiology before moving on to other chapters. I want to have an idea of what's going on before class starts so I'm not clueless. Thank you for doing these videos. They are a life saver for sure bc I can't seem to find anyone who will let me borrow one till I get mine.
