I wish there was a close up the whole time. Thank you for the video. My surgery rotation is coming up and this comes in real handy.

[@fa2589]

Really enjoying the suturing videos! Just a tiny suggestion, will it be possible having the camera zoomed in the suture, and the skin, majority of the time, because I tend to lose track of where the needle is.

[@gratiamop]

Love these videos, I'm a OR nurse and I'm hoping to learn to become a nurse practitioner and first assist one day. These videos are super helpful

[@easymedicinebytmd8247]

Enjoyed the first one clicked the sequel very fast! Very nice video!

[@Amandaaa2244]

This is the first time I've actually bought something from a sponsored video! This kit is fantastic and I am excited to start practicing even before I get to PA school in January!

[@antoniowebbmd]

Awesome! Practice makes perfect! Good luck and keep up the good work!

[@markhernandez9746]

I love you man. You gave me hope and I will work hard to achieve my goals despite the doubt of most everyone in my family. Seriously, I hope you know that your videos are making a real impact on those who are lost in life, well not anymore. Thanks to you!

[@princessvanillacoleman29]

Oh YAY!😬👏🏽 Well.. I’ve been patiently waiting and of course......darn it perfect. Hope you know you sleigh Dr.Webb

[@DrAdnan]

We didn’t use mattresses much when I was on my surgery rotation, but they’re fun to do!

[@ahsenaftab6220]

no one cares

[@ErikS-]

After trying for a few minutes with a needle... ... I would staple everything shut 😀

[@khaleesiamde6215]

I had a trauma surgeon save my life by putting in horizontal mattress stitches on my arm in the ER. I was shocked by how quickly he tied me up.

[@Akuma2unlimited]

I'm a Corpsman and I hated suturing. Felt like I was pinpointing nerve cells lol.

[@benmitchell7902]

Do you have any tips on getting a steady hand

[@teetertotter6955]

You can’t really get a stable hand but here are some tips : Rest your arms on something while you are suturing the more you rest your hand the more stable they will get and take a deep breath and slow down

[@ntwadumela1777]

Go off mane.

[@gg836]

The only downside of this videos is that the color of the suture is so bleak that it cannot be seen very well

[@fairwitness7473]

4.0 is tough to see! You're a natural teacher doc! It looks like you have large hands, I can see how finding a useable alternative handling method would be helpful. You improved upon the 'pass' from how I was taught to pass. Though I was never allowed to use my fingers with the needle. I had to use another needle driver to do all my work. I really enjoy your channel! Thanks.

[@StarkRavingMed]

the camera work shifting POV makes it really hard to concentrate. also bigger thread for contrast please, i can't see what he's doing

[@ezymk69]

What if you’re left handed?

[@leighton999]

How to message you directly?

[@pattirockgarden4423]

Love to watch, but not really understanding it all.

[@pimpnamedslickback7780]

I bet when dude graduated he got hella hoes. I'm trying to be like this

[@terrilorenzo9550]

Why is the camera focused on him instead of his hands and the sutures ? It’s so frustrating, I’m trying to see what he is doing with his hands. I’m sorry but I don’t need to see his face or the rest of him.

[@ABoredTroll]

Dr.Zenn is cooler and a much better teacher than you, keeping it real.
