@@rowdyboy2967 Hi Dear, Yes it took total 7 months to study all over again because I did my bachelor in 2014 so I had gap between my study and I spend 5-6 hours but not everyday sometime just 2-3 hours or sometime more. Never forget to take break whenever you feel over. I followed saunder and took classes from my tutor backhome India online and I used to watch Mike videos whenever I got time like while driving and don’t feel to study more so that time his videos lecture is the best. Thanks!

One thing I'd like to add that not many people mention is when you add the occlusive dressing, the side that is not taped over must face the ground depending on the positioning of the patient. So if they are laying down, point it down or if sitting up. Don't simply just point it towards their feet.
