Catherine Nugent –
I am astonished at how poorly this course was put together. Images varied widely. It seems like the instructor pulled anything he could find off the internet with absolutely no consistency. One of the images had writing in what looked like an Eastern European language. At times he seemed so bored that you could hear him stifling yawns. I lost count after 10. Completely inconsistent in how he delivered material. Sometimes he would provide additional explanations about a term; other times you only got the breakdown of the work. He also failed to include some major diseases. For instance, in the GI section, there was no mention of Crohn’s or Ulcerative Colitis. Which makes me wonder what else did he miss/leave out. More than once, he would talk about a term or procedure and then state it’s no longer being used. Then why include it? If you are looking for a quick overview of medical terms for personal reasons, the course is ok so long at you purchase it on sale. It’s not worth more than $15. It was put together with very basic PowerPoint skills that really began to distract as the presentation went on. It’s a shame really. With a little more effort, this could have been a really good course. If you need this info for professional reasons, seek out other resources.

Great intro course to medical terminology
Grace Duarte –
I really enjoyed this course. I just completed nursing school and this course was a great review. Though the use of roman numerals is not widely used, some of the older doctors still use it. Thank you for including it in the medical abbreviation portion. Once again thank you for a very informative and well laid out course.

I thought it was a very helpful beginning for what is to come. I did a little transcription in a past job, hearing these words, and not knowing what they meant. This helps shed a little light on the meaning of the words I’ve seen.

I have had a stroke caused by part of a thrombosis on the Mitral Valve breaking off and moving to my brain. However, it was an uncommon scenario. From my understanding, the thrombosis would typically be located in the chamber. Mine was on one of the two tissues flaps located within the valve.
