I passed my ASCP mlt exam thanks to your videos 3 years ago... am now in a CLS program and here I am once again :') Bless this channel so much.

[keithwalker]

As someone facing the prospect of a dx of PV (just had blood work including JAK2 drawn today) and a recently retired ICU RN, your presentation was outstanding. It puts it all in perspective. You're an outstanding teacher!

Why does this video has so many clicks but much less thumbs up? Guys PLEASE give the videos thumbs up, this channel deserves it by far more than any other!

Thanks for the Lecture,
Additionally; Apart from an increase in the number of red blood cells ("absolute polycythemia")
It can also be due to a decrease in the volume of plasma ("relative polycythemia")

[jituchowdhury]

I never bored to your lecture ..how much long it would...

[benjaminhlithapi]

Thank you. Your lectures are my absolute favorite..

[christianedwards]

Indeed so great, , , , you are a blessing to medical students

[Maddie-xkpf]

I'm a fan of your channel since my undergrad days and now, I plan on binge watching your videos before I start medical school to give me a headstart on the basics cuz you give the most detailed yet concise explanations. Thank you for this. You really are a blessing 🥰

[davissheffield]

Great video! You have all the specific videos I can't find anywhere else. Good quality and great explanation! Thank you ninja nerds. I found your videos right before my first hematology test. The coagulation cascade and anemia videos saved me! Keep up the great work.

I had Polycythemia and had to get a phlebotomy about once a month, because my Hemoglobin was around 55 g/dl and my Doctor ordered it.
Finally I wondered about people with Anemia that were short of red-blood-cells analogously like an opposite to Polycythemia!
Then I looked up the foods that people with Anemia do not eat because they are iron blockers.
Many of these foods are called Oxalate's and absorb Iron. So then I started eating these foods (with Oxalate s) abundantly and after a
few weeks I had my Hemoglobin checked by my Doctor and my Hemoglobin was down to 16 g/dl and now over a year later my Hemoglobin is still 16 g/dl. That is a drop of 39 g/dl’s in a very short time and it held good. Sometimes just a simple procedures are workable.

Of course I believe that my mental procedures, meditations & thoughts had something added to this procedure that was synergy related that made it more effective.

Make it clear that I am not prescribing
anything to anyone, but expressing my own thoughts and experience.
However I would recommend that medical personnel investigate this.

Cordially, Robert Shrewsbury

You are getting me through nursing school! Thank you so much!

[jrtjohnson]

I was just diagnosed with PV and this is the most informative explanation I've found. Thanks!

[sandywong]

Thank you. I’ve learned a lots from every lecture you shared. You’re the best 👍

[OnlyADownstat]

as someone who had a stroke 2yrs ago due to polycythemia (so diagnosed at time of stroke) this gives me new avenues of cause to explore.. Underwent bone marrow tests that proved -ve (so not primera).. have been told ever since it was "transient", despite 5 tablets a day not reducing BP.. will be back at my GP next week.... Thankyou very much

[patwatson]
