THANK YOU SO MUCH! These are very helpful videos. I listen to them when I drive to work or on the way home, or while I am walking, jogging, or in the gym and even I listen to them while cooking or doing other stuff around the house. I am a non-traditional (in my 40s) Med student in the USA, so I have to utilize every minute of my time. Again THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS GREAT INITIATIVE.
You are so welcome! That’s great to hear. We are very happy you are enjoying these videos. Thank you for your feedback and sharing your journey. Good luck on your studying and hope you do amazing on the exam!! 😊😊
Usually vignettes will not try to trick you between these 2 conditions. However, you can use the following differentiating features in case: Kluver bucy syndrome - in addition to above symptoms, look out for bilateral temporal lobe lesions and no dementia Frontotemporal dementia - in addition to above symptoms, affects frontal and temporal lobes, can also have aphasia and dementia symptoms
Histo reminds me of histology/pathologist. The hospital pathologist locks them in caves more or less. Histoplasma pts explore caves. the pathogen is inside the macrophage, kinda like a cave.
Just say "I haven't passed yet." Don't take it as a failure but see it as a learning opportunity. There is a lot of power in "Yet", you are telling yourself that you will get there and that your eyes and heart are still fixed on your goal.
I took the step 1 last month. I'm very disappointed, the exam is not even close to the practice material that the prep book sells online. The level of difficulty is like 5x or 6x.
Passing the test is a challenging and frustrating experience. I believe that it's not just about studying, but also about having God's grace to succeed.
Frustration can be a positive sign. It indicates that the solution to your problem is close, but your current approach isn't working. You need to change your approach to achieve your goal.
Trust me, never give up. After failing twice, I almost quit, but I kept going and finally got my license. I'm grateful that my friend recommended me to Mr Richard who helped me achieve my goal.
You got this! Stay positive and keep studying. Having an effective study plan will be very important. You will pass!! Please feel free to reach out if you need any assistance. Always here to help 🙏🏼 So sweet to see everyone’s support in the comments. Team work makes the dream work!
So sorry about that, we will make sure they are available on the website soon. I the mean time, you can email medstudentsuccess.contact@gmail.com and we will send you the PDFs! 😊
This is so great! And I love how you have it set up so that I can pause and think of the answer first forcing me to do some active recall rather than just mindlessly watching another review video (which I must admit I tend to do sometimes)
@@medstudentsuccess Yes but a PCA stroke would lead to a unilateral lesion of the occipital lobe, resulting in a contralateral homonymous hemianopsia with macular sparing, not bitemporal hemianopsia. A bitemporal hemianopsia is usually a result of a pituitary adenoma/optic chiasm lesion, as the individual stated above.
The pathology section in first aid is great! Medstudentsuccess.com under study resources has a lot of helpful path documents for each system as well. We will be uploading a pathology focused video soon 😊 stay tuned!
