  • 2 hours of lecture I learnt nothing compared to only 10mins spent on this video..... thank you Dr you are saving lives
  • Some people are born to teach well and this guy, for me, is one of those people. I watched a lot of videos explaining this and never had a better grasp of it until now.
  • I don’t know if understanding the structure of heart is easy or this man is just a great teacher

    Two hours of lecture is nothing compared to this 10mins of video...you made it look so easy...thank you Dr John campbell🙌🏾
  • Basic structure and function of the heart. Often people gloss over the 'simple' stuff, and miss areas of important understanding. The main things are the plain things, and often, the plain things are the main things. Please draw your own diagram, rather that taking the short cut of freeze faming and screen capture.

    I shouldn't have to spend over two hours reading books to write my exams. I am a nursing student and this video has made my day. Thank you doctor
  • @elytrapug8973
    All my biology teacher does is ask us to look through textbooks every single lesson and do the bare minimum of teaching. I've learned more in this video than I have in two weeks worth of lessons regarding the heart. Thank you Dr.

  • I am one person who is not into medical information but after watching this i felt love for this subject developing. I could see passion for his work in his eyes everytime he looked back at the camera as if addressing a class. So much respect to you Dr

And I love the way you took your time in explaining everything, I've been playing this video over and over again. Thank You Dr. Campbell!!!

    There should be more teachers like you that teach truly for understnding! You Rock Dr. Campbell!!!! Thank You for Sharing our Skill with Passion of Teaching!!!
  • Hello Dr Campbell. I am an expat living in California and currently about to sit the California State exam for my EMT (emergency medical technician) course. It is an accelerated course and a brain overload. I search and watch many you tube videos during my text rest period to provide additional mental stimulus to assist in memory imprinting. It works for me. One thing on youtube that is difficult is finding reliable, consistent videos that cover the exact information that I need and present it in a very memorable way. I have watched the three videos on the heart. They are excellent. I must commend you on your instructional techniques as they are proving invaluable for me. Thankyou so much. I will be looking for other videos that you post. I have a lot of learning to do. keep up the GREAT work and thank you.
  • The best lecture ever melts down all confusions. May God bless you more with happiness and prosperity Dr. C you are a gift to the world.
