Nice lecture very complete and in very litlle time. keep up with the good job
Good for beginners... Explanation from scratch.. Easy language... Explanation with imagery examples is a highlight
Very clear and objective explanation. I wouldn't mind if there were a few more details. :)
Overal good resource. But i think it could be a little bit more detailed to be really usefull for medical school.
