thanx studying.

Personally I feel the dvd lectures on pulmonology are a waste of time.The only topic I find he have some extra information that might be useful is on thromboembolism.Rest everything is written there in the notes and written in a better way.Any way,i am lagging behind,still doing pulmonology lectures.,I think I will be finishing those tonight.

dont worry!! there is endless info out there..i was in a similar dilemma s far as step 1 was concerned ..the best solution..try to read a given chapter by urself, the next day do the video and see if u know the answers to the qs the teachers ask..or, read the next chapter with the dvd..the whole point is to assist retention..so u havnt wasted ur time smiling face

cardiology videos are a must do. surgery arent that helpful. neuro intermediate. gi lower down. dunno about the rest but if u hav to choose, choose the ones by dr fischer first

Todays target is Cardio lectures.My dvds has 4 lectures in total and the notes are pretty bulky.So far I like the teacher.I think the best way is to first listen to the lectures and then read the notes for cardio.

sept 14:

Started off with questions.I have done 25 questions so far.random internal medicine questions.I find step 2 questions very different than step 1.They are very twisted and complex.The theory is easy though.

Now doing the last two lectures from cardio.
