Hi Dirty Medicine! Can you pretty please do Step 2 videos about Obstetrics and some pediatrics? I love your videos. Thank you so much.

[@Bajablasted0]

Watching your videos since MS1! Now I’m an intern and desperately need some step 3 content from you!!

[@stevebradford3939]

my fav thing after an exam is to gorge on taco bell and nap.

[@dia5227]

Amazing video! Please make a video on water soluble vitamins.

[@mikailar3443]

Can you please do a video on all that Eye neuropathy? It is very confusing to know when people go blind or have issues.

[@veexiiv]

Thank you for this information!

[@intisar221]

We need more communication questions plz ! They r testing highly in step 2 as well 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

[@Soriyou3]

Hello, can you please a video on different types of incontinence and keywords associated with them? This one is not as straightforward as it seems.

[@smileemon.7347]

Hello! This is Leemon from Bangladesh. You have explained this topic beautifully but I have a question. In relapse stage, it is said that regression to prior behavior / stage. What exactly this previous stage means? Does this stage means that patient went again at precontemplation or contemplation stage or anything else. What I want to say is, the term 'regression to prior behavior' includes which of the stages of change?? Hope you will answer this question and again lot of thanks for your lectures.

[@apolloddg]

I passed thanks to you!

[@HT.100]

can you make a video on causes of splenomegaly and split it into two branches: 1. WBC causes 2. RBC causes

[@dharap9967]

Very useful ☺️ thanks a lot

[@evettaproductions]

I got a question about a woman actively doing things to help with her osteoporosis and she wanted to know what else she could do, what stage would that fall in to? I was thinking action since she's already doing something but wants to do even more but wasn't sure

[@fzk4661]

What if a patient is already taking an action & comes to the doctor to ask about more things he can add to it. i.e. pt taking vitamin supplements & comes to doctor to ask about exercises he can do. Would it be preparation, action, or maintenance? - heard a similar concept is being tested these days. any help?

[@TahaMMahdi]

Great video, however I was waiting for you to talk about LSD

[@1412Z]

Thanks!

[@xaaboopinkly]

Thanks sir!

[@ruthconroy5985]

If someone had been in maintenance for a significant amount of time and fully relapse. Do they ever return to pre-contemplation? Having had the knowledge and insight. Does denial count as pre-contemplation. I’m not a medical professional so my apologies if I’m missing something key.

[@Jaspergurs]

The cycle starts over.

[@reionglom3277]

I feel like i'm going to throw up. I'm a few days out from my STEP1 and was binging this playlist only to hear it's no longer tested material at the very end? That could have been noted at the start of the playlist.

[@kristindelgado847]

Was any of this on there? Taking Step 1 in June and I was told to watch this playlist by a MS3. SOS lol

[@claudiamedina6000]

They are going more twds ethics and communications for step 1. My friends took it last month and said there were about 4-5 ethics questions per block. Still worth reviewing. Free easy points if you take the time to review

[@robs2341]

What if they are in a waiting list for rehab? Is that prep or action?

[@kp-up7lr]

Prep

[@alb5760]

Preparation

[@alb5760]

There was a question like this in UWorld, where the pt had already scheduled an appt with PCP, but not gone yet. The answer was prep
