    I’m actually almost crying with gratitude you guys are saving my literal life you have no idea, I’m studying an MSc Anatomy and the neuro stuff is absolutely deadly, your videos are the only reason I’m able to do this honestly. Your channel is genuinely life changing
  • I suffered a large brain stem stroke (vertibrobasiler) from an artery dissection. Much of pons and left cerebellum. Unbelievably, I wasn’t ‘locked in.’ I only have moments of consciousness and when the doctor tried testing my affected arm it was uncontrollably shaking. They really didn’t know what was happening to me, until the CT results. I underwent surgery, and ended up with a couple stents to the dissected area. Dizziness is an understatement. I literally saw only swirls of color. Not like normal dizziness. These strokes are rare, so there’s a lack of education spotting the symptoms. It is, however, they do affect young folks. We need greater awareness, because they’re the more deadly.
  • Wow. You are great I have watched the three videos on the cerebral arteries involvement and it's just amazing. Thank you so much
  • When talking about the Locked-In Syndrome, the diagram is not labelled properly, as the pons is labelled "medulla". Excellent mini-series, thanks!!
  • Great video Sir. You are the best. I am waiting for more great video contents. Thank you so much.

  • I had the lock-in syndrome stroke. Couldn't talk or move. tPA didn't work fast enough. They did a thrombectomy. I came out unaffected best I can tell. I kept going unconscious but I thought I was just falling asleep!
