You are a gift to this world Dr Sawers. Thank you so much for providing these wonderful concise lectures! I never understood cardiology more until now. I really hope you can do one for neurosurgery as there’s not a lot out there that lectures well on this topic 😊

I’m taking the CST on July 8th. Your videos are a great resource. Thank you!

[@brimbotungus8507]

I PASSED!!!

[@mariecham6857]

You said you love talking about the physiology of the heart and the lungs but I also love listening to you talking about these stuff. Thank you for sharing your expertise and knowledge. I am a newly qualified nurse in the uk and since I started following you, I’m learning so much from you. Once again thank you so much.

Im going through surgery technician school soon, so thank you so much for the educational content. It has really helped me to refresh my medical knowledge as much has changed in the last 20 years.

Wonderful explanation on the pulmonary artery and vein. Definitely makes more sense now👏👏

[@melissahill2359]

This is a great explanation of this complex organ. I've been thinking about going into Cardiac Surgery but I hear it's hard to get into because there's so much to know and understand along with instruments. With this information it really helps connect some of the surgeries with anatomy together, giving a true S.T. understanding. Thank you for taking this time to explain it with the photos that brings it all together.

[@jasonolson7170]

You are absolutely brilliant. I've never heard any of this before and with your knowledge and amazing way of teaching I am able to understand this all. Mind blowing. Thank you, thank you. 😊

I'm just glad Indiana Jones was justified here. Awesome lesson btw 👌

[@biankabarajas3908]

These videos are amazing!

good cardia cells , myocardium , electro physiology & pathologies of valves & Coronary arteries # there are Beta adrenergic receptors on the entire cardiac cells & the adrenergic nerve which supply its fibers to the entire cells & when these fibers secrete adrenalin it increases heart rate through Na + K + & Ca + ionic exchange across cardic cell membrane & opposite occurs when Cholineric fibers secrete acetylcholine # 👍🇵🇰

[@Nicole20397]

Love your videos. They are very helpful.😊

Thanks for the great content

[@AlenaidFernandez]

I have questions that I would like a cardiologist or cardiac surgeon to answer but I don’t know where to go to ask so if somebody can answer my questions that would be nice When doing an open heart surgery or when dealing with a heart mummer how are the stitches placed so that they don’t come out while the heart pumps? What is need to complete med school? What is the most important thing I will have to learn to do heart surgery? What happens while when you’re doing a surgery and ur patient heart crashes while it’s open? Is it true that you freeze the heart while doing an open heart surgery? Thank you😅

intense. i will go back over it

[@bilalbangash7731]

i wonder how the catheter valve stays exactly where its supposed to stay? Especially if its not sutured in place

[@SurgicalCounts]

Good question. My understanding is that the outside of the valve is rough enough, that when it deploys, the spring-action of the metal coil puts enough pressure on the surrounding tissue to hold it in place. The body then rapidly grows new tissue around it to secure it even better. But I believe that if not set properly, they can shift a little. Probably not much because with that spring-action, it will eventually catch on something.

[@dionkas5117]

Can you give pointers in getting a job in ST. After graduating years ago, no offers. Now I have tried and tried, still no offers. They do not want to train anyone

[@SurgicalCounts]

Do you have a current CST certification? If not, that might be the reason, as many states, and many hospitals require this. If you do, I recommend looking for a job in a state that requires the CST certification. Hospitals in these states are always looking for new certified CSTs.

[@everydayjay]

Cell membrane, not cell wall. Otherwise an excellent lecture!

[@SurgicalCounts]

Yes. Good note. Thank you.
