I’m currently a nursing student and one of my module tutors has suggested watching all your pathophysiology videos. I have now managed to watch most them and I’m delighted to say that you are doing a wonderful job 👍! Thank you so much for all your help and for taking the time to explain these diseases!

[@HealthEdSolutions]

[@susanmariepalmer]

I have been struggling to understand the pathophysiology of COPD, it just wouldn't sick in. I finally get it, thank-you so much.

[@jjlexky]

I've spent 4 months in my second to last nursing semester and you explained COPD more clearly in the first 14 minutes than my instructors have all semester.

[@Pnine2013]

in my second year of RN school. I wouldn't have made it this far without your videos. I love, love everything about them. Often I find myself passing exams and HESI tests with simply watching your videos and making notes right along with you. Please please don't stop posting them. Sincerely, O heck... my name is Teresa!!!!

[@HealthEdSolutions]

Thanks so much! The entire Health Ed Solutions team is rolling out lessons regularly!

[@caroldean2596]

Am studying for my oncology nurse certification test, and am finding your videos to be a great addition/ refresher for pathophysiology. Thanks for making this as painless as possible!

[@HealthEdSolutions]

Awesome to hear Carol! Glad the videos helped!

[@michaelbarber7716]

I have copd, and I wondered if there was a direct relationship between the results of a spirometer test, and how breathless you are on your worst days. Brilliantly explained video, thank you so much.

[@lisaconnelly8892]

Absolutely love how you bring this down to earth and make the explanations so simple. Watch these over and over!!

[@HealthEdSolutions]

Thanks for the feedback! We will be rolling out new lessons soon. Keep watching, we appreciate the support!

[@faithpinto5457]

I'm a nursing student and this was very helpful. I always need to wrap my brain around the process in order to remember things and you present the process very well.

[@kingdomSower1]

I been living with Asthma COPD for 7 years, its very similar to the one called Enphazema and bronchitis, but COPD basically means lung damage, and if you have Asthma it goes through all the same stages, it is really a delight that this knowledge and information is out here and especially on KZbin. Thanks!

[@HealthEdSolutions]

Thanks for watching and sharing your story!

[@joannejohnston1907]

Returning to practice and reviewing the chronic diseases-thank-you for the clarity. Matching clinic symptoms to the pathological process is YOUR talent. Very appreciated!

[@MrTenshinkan]

Hi, thanks for helping me prepare for my Pathophysiology of Disease finals. I'm studying for a BSc in Physical Activity and Health in Scotland, and your videos are a huge help in understanding this complex subject. Thanks very much.

[@tracydarby6300]

Absolutely brilliant Andrew, I am a nusing student in Western Australia who was struggling to understand COPD, but wow ! you have hit the nail right on the head. Many thanks for this production.

[@chrishitchcock4523]

NP student here. I have learned about COPD many times but you hit on some points that never seems to click. Thank you!

[@HealthEdSolutions]

Thank you for watching!

[@pco6674]

Thank you so much for these videos. They're helping me get thru nursing school. The pace and clarity of your explanations are so helpful.

[@mordarion]

Andrew just wanted to give kudos on your willingness to post these lectures, donation of your time, and utilization of technology in furthering the understanding of pathophysiology. Speaking for myself I have really enjoyed your teaching style and look forward to watching more from you, thanks and all the best. ~Zachary

[@patriciarogers942]

I am a visual learner and find your videos so helpful in understanding these complex diseases and their associated patho. Thank you for the great tools :)

[@teresajohnston6701]

Your lectures are fantastic, thank you for doing them. I have pathophysiology online this semester and my teacher doesn't offer audio for studying. Your lectures have really helped my understanding of the material.

[@kimberhermans6407]

[@olandlucyharries7437]

Top man …… such a great explanation……… I have sat through class trying to understand spirometry and PFT's ………now I get it

[@xd451e1edcc8]

Excellent lecture! I work in biologics R&D, in part with pulmonary therapeutics. This video is one of the best overviews of COPD I've come across. Can't wait to view the rest of your contributions at youtube!

[@texacomann]

Hi i am from germany, and I appreciate all of your videos. In germany these instructional videos are not so perfect, so i prefer looking a video even in a foreign language - and by the way you teach me english. So if I want I could even go abroad an still work as a nurse! THX for all!

[@HealthEdSolutions]

Thank you!

[@tthornyone13]

Thanks Andrew! It started a bit slow . . . I almost navigated away. I am soooooo glad that I didn't. My doctor just informed me that I "may" have either chronic bronchitis or emphysema. I had no concepts about either. It may have made more sense for him to note that I likely had COPD Thanks again for the very informative video.

[@ChristopherSmith-qi2en]

i work as a medic and your videos were very informative.

[@meong1992]

woooow andrew...so many big thanks :D tomorrow i hv exam abt COPD, I got no much time to read books,,then i watch this, this video is really helpful please please dont stop to make educative video like this :) but i wait for pneumonia, asthma, bronchiectasis patophysiology please :))

Great video. You've basically covered everything that I was confused about.

[@brenbascos]

can't believe this video received a thumbs down.... awesome informative and step by step explanation of the disease.. thanks!

[@khadijagwen]

Thank you so much for explaining this. My partial diagnosis is COPD, yet I find that in the summer, with sufficient moderate exercise my symptoms largely disappear. I use Albuterole and Asmanex. The symptoms I have do not include throat constriction, just excessive coughing. Now I understand the etiology of my condition much better.

[@Aflammox]

Hey man, awesome lecture! Your work is highly appreciated. What I like the most is your well-structured way of explaining the pathophysiology behind each symptom. I love you (no homo).

[@kimberlykujat6380]

Great video. Will be checking out more during this semester in nursing school.

[@SuperJAHPRINCE]

Absolutely fantastic video - extremely informative and well presented. Well done!

[@HealthEdSolutions]

Thank you so much for the kind words Kay!

[@Deckers2006]

Excellent work. The cilia is definitely key and most forget to mention that even focusing on the lung function thereby showing their lean towards pharmacology technology rather than biological function. Except that they also know some people go bald, sweat less or not at all, loose cilia, and other factors such as Alpha-1 genetically are related as well it seems like. I'm not a Dr. but everyone I know that has has COPD has a complex mixture of many of these factors indicating a definite genetic predisposition. Thank you for that word about Fibrosis too.

[@HealthEdSolutions]

Thanks for the input!
