Not sure if this has been said already but here's an easy mnemonic for laterality of lesion involving uvula vs. tongue deviation: uvulA -> A = away / Tongue -> T = towards.

[@PRINCEZUSHUNEZ1]

amazing review Roviso!

[@MzChosenByGrace]

OMGosh SIR!!! These videos are saving me HOURS of rewatching boards and beyond!!! THANK YOU! (Side note: I start clinicals for year 3-4 soon. Do you have clerkship specific videos? ...Peds highlights... IM highlights.... OB/Gyn highlights... etc? Also, thank you for all the time that you dedicate to reviewing these concepts and making these videos.)

[@DrRoviso]

You are welcome! As far as the clerkship videos, I really want to get them started. I have so many videos I want to do, but my biggest restriction is free time right now. I will absolutely have them in the future. Stay tuned!

[@sparshchopraa]

Thank You Sir!!! Can't thank enough for this. This helped a lot.

[@227RM]

I've watched hundreds and hundreds of videos and just the first 5 minutes of this video was more informative than oh that I've watched previously before thank you so much.

[@227RM]

My dad had a hemorrhagic stroke on his right side which was due to chronic hypertension a berry aneurysm rupture in the midbrain. He did have a craniotomy to release pressure but he did have a midline shift and hematoma. The doctors and the neurologist really can't State what kind of syndrome he has or exactly what all has been damaged it's been a very frustrating for us family. He's is now quadriplegic. After surgery he was in a coma for about 3 weeks and then he started making more progress as far as conscious goes vegetative in between minimal conscious. Now he's in and out of it he's not really fully conscious ever but he can open his eyes sometimes he's got a tracheotomy but he can't move his arms and his legs. I don't know if he's locked in or if he just has severe significant brain damage and there really isn't an exact disorder to his condition. It doesn't seem to fall within any syndrome or disorder that I've found so far it's kind of a mix of a little of this and a little of that but nothing concrete exact maybe you can help me a little on what you think it could be. I would be so thankful for your input.

[@DrRoviso]

Rosalina, I am so sorry to hear about your father's condition. As far as your question goes unfortunately there is a divergence between what you may learn as a medical student, and what tends to happen in real life. In textbooks, boards questions, and academia, everything is straightforward. The syndromes depicted are always classically represented with features and catch phrases. In the real world of clinical medicine, as you will see on rotations and in residency, there is a grey area to these same topics. Many neurologists will sometimes be able to postulate based on MRI and clinical findings, where a lesion may be located. An example of this in the literature, may be decreased consciousness in the setting of infarction surrounding the reticular formation. I am wishing you and your family the best, and if you need anything, please don't hesitate to reach out. My response is not to be taken as medical advice and opinions are my own and do not represent those of my employer; I have not personally treated or evaluated the individual(s) discussed in my response.

Thank you so much, I went through the uploads I am working on in a recent video I posted titled "End of July 2020 Channel Updates". Ideally, I would like to put out a high yield neurology video for USMLE Step 2CK, a high yield hematology video for USMLE Step 1, and 5-10 200 Highest Yield Topics on USMLE Step 1 videos in the next month.

[@lovestop101]

Thank you so much, Dr. R! After watching this video, I was promoted to Jr. Butcher at the Costco I work at! Just kidding. I started watching videos on the Titan sub CEO, Stockton Rush, then began trying to understand his thinking.. which led to a few Neurological videos. I work with Databases and Web Development in the real world. After 30 minutes of your presentation, it saddens me to think about how much I didn’t know about my own Brain. There I was trying to understand someone else’s, when I don’t even understand my very own. Kudos, and thank you, for all of the effort you put into these videos, Dr. R.
