This was broken down in simplier terms and made learning more easy and understandable. Thank you

[@ezmed]

No problem! 👍 Appreciate you dropping a comment and everyone's support! 🙌

[@zaakirah5343]

Actual LEGEND you are. This is so much better than my lecturers. Love your work, keep it up :)

[@silviaanasmithsmith9881]

Wow! This was very helpful. I wasn’t understanding this topic very well, but after watching this video, I now understand! Thank you for breaking it down for us in the simplest way.

[@bikinibottombabe]

Honestly, thank you so very much for taking the time and dedication to make all the videos you do. Especially this one! This is the first video on your channel that I watched, and I immediately subscribed. You are giving me the chance to have a better future and start a new career. Gain new skills. I struggled to get my high school diploma. I never knew what I was really interested in learning. I was always told I'd never amount to anything. And that Mcdonalds would be the only job I could get if I was lucky. I gave up from not feeling confident or smart enough to do anything. I have no medical background whatsoever. I decided at this point in my life I'd like to become an LMT. Sitting in class hearing the terminology is like a foreign language flying over my head. Literally in one ear out the other. I've opened so many books, looked at lots of pictures and read endless paragraphs, and haven't grapsed this till now. I'm blown away. I wrote down everything, and I'm going to share with any classmates whether they already understand or are perhaps quiet like me and just nod and agree. I'm going to be taking my MBLEX soon. Its expensive. I'm so scared. I have a lot of pressure on me not to fail it. But you are a wonderful teacher. You have given me my mustard seed of faith that regardless of what anyone else says or thinks about me that I can do this. God Bless You❤

[@ezmed]

Thank you for leaving this wonderful comment! You can become anything you want to become, and achieve anything you want to achieve! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Keep working hard, and wishing you the best on the MBLEX. You got this! 💯

[@javeriamunir895]

Im so thankful to all the teachers on youtube who give lectures free of cost

[@muminochanel5191]

I just found these videos and for sure learned the terms that I have been struggling for the past week. Thank you so much. You deserve more subscribers than you have.

[@ezmed]

Yay! Glad you understand the terms now. 💯 As long as the videos are helping people out, that's what matters most!

[@jordanprevette2683]

This is one of the best videos I have come across so far. You didn't talk so fast so my brain could process it, and giving examples really helped the most!

[@ezmed]

This means a lot. Glad to hear the speed was perfect and the examples helped, good luck to you! 👍

[@harukiii2005]

Idk why I am watching this even though I take civil engineering

[@AnakinGozie77]

[@augustusmonroe1457]

Bruh, I search engineering stuff about rollercoasters while I’m a bio student. So I think understand

[@user-bs4ck6zy8v]

Lol cuz it’s very interesting maybe you should consider emt basics

[@dianasimataa9898]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@misssssstb]

This was the best way to explain directional terms thus far

[@ezmed]

Appreciate that! 🙏🏻 Thank you for leaving a comment and watching!

[@Steve-hd5tn]

I’m not a med student, just really interested in anatomy, in particular neuroanatomy. I found your channel looking for a video on basic brain anatomy, then realized that I’m missing some basic anatomical terminology. I just finished the video on anatomical planes and sections and I’m blown away! These are some of the clearest and well organized videos I’ve found on any topic. I love the way you explain things, and there’s a lot of information in each video, but you do such a good job going through it all that it’s never overwhelming. The graphics are really nicely done, the memory tricks are great, and I’m not sure how you do it, but you speak super crisply but like without the crispiness; I can clearly hear every syllable but it sounds super natural. I’m pausing after new words to try them out, and I love that I can be confident I’m pronouncing them correctly. I also find your voice strangely soothing 🙃 This channel is going straight to my “actually useful channels” folder. Thanks for making great content!

[@user-sx8nk8ku1v]

This Is the First Step One Should Get Hold of Before Moving Deeper to Anatomy. Thank you so much! This was Really Helpful! I Love it!

[@ezmed]

For sure! 💯 It's always good to build a strong foundation for any topic, and glad to hear this video could do that for you!

[@djhenro4145]

With memorable examples, this video clearly and extensively described the direction and anatomical position of the body. The video was very helpful; thank you!!

[@ezmed]

Thank you for the amazing comment! 🙏🏻 The memory tricks and examples definitely go a long way! 💯

[@gemdaadel2750]

Thank you so much, my first time studying nursing and had 8hrs in class but understood nothing, this vid helped a lot. Pls do more: Cells, Tissues, Nervous systems, Respiratory systems and all other systems. Thank you

[@GameScenesHQ9748]

This gave me all the understanding I needed,keep up with the good work man

[@esterling109]

I was struggling with Proximal and Distal, i just wasn't getting it, reading materials, watching other videos. I am so grateful i came across your video. You broke it down so well, in a way i was able to understand, thank you so much. I'm going to watch one more time just to make sure I really got it.

[@jackieaquino350]

I can say this has been one of the best and well explained videos on directional terms. I really loved that you were not speaking fast! I was able to capture a better understanding rather than having to pause then rewind like I've had to with other similar videos.

[@ezmed]

Appreciate the comment! 🙌 The speed of delivery definitely makes a difference, glad to hear this one was good for you!

[@taylorbrown812]

I feel way less stressed for my unit one test now, thanks!
