Your talent for teaching nursing school is beyond this universe. If all educators were like you we'd have more people loving school. Thank you for making nursing school 1000 times easier, Mike.

hey dude just came back after a few years of working shocked to see that you dont have an easy contact. You would think you would want to correspond with your users to improve your product its the best way. I was gonna take my time to offer my experience as you did help me greatly on a few subjects utilizing multiple methods and you had distilled the material down well. I wanted to tell you where it could improve from my end.

This is spelled correctly. There are 2 "L's" unlike the other videos

Will your materials help for paramedic school? I like how you break down topics, but I know ultimately we have different protocols.

[wellmanfarms]

Thanks so much 😢I was so overwhelmed with the massive different subjects.
But you made it make sense for me. I am so happy to say. I GET IT NOW-
this is how I learned my multiplication tables. My dad bought me a sing along math tape AND I had them memorized in no time!! You made all my learning styles wake up and made fun. I am taking better notes and love the explanation of the mistakes on specific questions. Blessings

I am a subscriber, and I love your enthusiasm and your fun, yet succinct, way of teaching. But you mispronounce many medical terms, and your students are going to go into hospitals imitating your pronunciations. For example, "tachypnea" is pronounced "tack-IP-nee-uh" not, as you say it, "tacky-PEE-nee-uh." "Venous" has two syllables, not three: "VEEN-us" not "VEE-nee-us." It's "digestive tract" not "digestive track." "Acetaminophen" rhymes with the sound "en, " not "een." It's gastric reflux, not "reflex." The antibiotic levofloxACIN is not pronounced "LEE-vo-FLAX-in." "Systolic" starts with the sound "sis" as in "sister, " not with the sound "sigh." Paleness is "PALL-or" not "pa-LORE." You say, "PER-pa, " but purpura is pronounced "PER-per-uh." "Ondansetron" rhymes with "ON, " not "drone." When you have so many eager learners, it's important that you share the proper pronunciations of medical terms. This is why teachers are held to a higher standard, because your students will assume you are correct, because you are teaching. You go to so much trouble making these videos! It's a shame for them to have repeated mistakes. As a subscriber, and a former editor, and former medical scribe, I find the mispronunciations distracting. But at least I *know* these words are being mispronounced. Students with less experience won't know, and will go into the workforce mispronouncing words in front of co-workers.

I’m watching this because I just experienced this laying in bed.
