Great stuff taught by smart professor who makes difficult things easy to understand and follow. Thanks.

As usual, Dr. Strong presents an extremely well-thought-out approach to an often poorly taught yet critical component of clinical medicine. I'm a third year now, but I'll repeat this series many times prior to my intern year. Thank you so much!

I concur with the previous positive feedback! Your videos fill out the vital parts left out in medical school! Also, thank you very much for your reply to my question regarding acid-base-disturbances! My overly-zealous attempts to understand the copenhagen model have come to and end.

Thanks for your efforts and time that you put into these projects. I have watched almost all of the playlists and it's such great content. Thanks for all the teaching!
I was wondering whether you'd be able to do a video/series on determining/assessing clinical disposition as I often find this topic to be difficult in practice as some clinicians seem to value some factors over others which is not always following a particular logic. I was hoping to learn more about this topic and develop a more structured approach when assessing a patient for disposition. Kid regards :)

Dr. Strong, your videos are one of the best sources available here. Thank you for this valuable information.
Could you make a video on test taking strategies for USMLE STEP-CK and on FEVER and how it helps in d/d. Thank You once again . Varun
