This is part 2 in the series...so you may have missed part 1!

DISCLAIMER
While my aim is to help educate you for the ward, the surgical ICU, the operating room and your exams remember these videos are not a replacement for your reading, your medical school and residency preparation and most important your own decision making. These videos also do not count as medical advice, no physician patient relationship is formed and if you have medical questions definitely consult a medical professional. Good luck on your surgical education journey and enjoy!
