I'm just impressed my dude is able to (mostly) pronounce all this stuff. I dread having to tell attendings these things out loud.

Haha - it comes from experience - you'll get it!! I have to admit, though, from time-to-time I ask some colleagues how they pronounce things. Often, there are multiple acceptable ways. 🙃

great walkthrough Dr. Tolman. It's hard already knowing the answer to the vignette in the youtube title. It would be great if you guys could do videos that offer more of a broad outlook, such as "how to differentiate RUQ abdominal pain" or "how to deal with acute onset headache" etc. This would be a great way to make video content of the amboss tables, which have so far been my favorite study aid!!

Thanks for the comment, and I'm happy you're finding AMBOSS so helpful! I think these are all great ideas and I'll do my best to try to cover more in the future. As for the title, it's always a tricky balance between people actually finding the topic on youtube and giving away too much info. I'll try to do this better moving forward. 😉
