I'm 26 min into this video and all I keep thinking is "wow this guy is amazing." Thank you for your love, passion, and teachings. Words can't express how thankful I feel right now!
You are such a blessing. I’m an IMG working full time in a rural hospital based ER, listening to these to and from work, while cooking and screenshooting all high yield charts and using them as flash cards is super helpful for me. I really hope I do well on the exam ❤️🙈
I wish I would have found this guy at the beginning of med school. I could have implemented his course into my studies and step study would have been cake.
I thought the aminoglycosides little "song" was pretty catchy and I decided to give it a try....... It only took me 23 recordings of myself to get it right, singing "So what are your aminoglycosides? Gentamicin, Neomycin, Amikacin, Tobramycin" 😂 goodness, recording one self its not easy, hats off to you and all youtubers. Anyway, Thank you Dr. Damania I will never forget the Aminoglycosides now 😂❤
