  • How could you make a 10 minute video that is equal to one month of my studies in the university? 😳✨ After seven weeks of studying infectious diseases and anatomy courses, my knowledge was still not equal to it is now after watching your short video!!! You are amazing!!!!! Your website is not free but it seems your YouTube channel is free and I can't thank you enough for being here and helping students like me who can't afford even low membership prices! I'm living in Iran and even don't have internet connection most of the times due to current protests. I can get connected to YouTube just twice a week and just a couple of minutes ago, I was thinking how to do my university assignment as the internet speed is overwhelmingly slow to the extent that I can't open any websites!!! I tried to connect to YouTube and I accidently could connect and watched a couple of your free videos! Now I'm able to write my assignment and that's thanks to you. Please don't forget people like me and continue to make FREE contents. ✨❤🙏

    Hi Folks! We’ve completely re-worked and updated this video to add content and keep the pneumonia classification system up to date.
  • This morning the best thing happened to me..... Today was my medicine exam and i was so damn nervous about it.... I woke up....turned on my mobile data and there was a notification, that osmosis uploaded a new video and it was this video... I thoufht that its in ny syallabus so i should watch it... And there was a 4 marks question on hospital acquired pneumonia!! All thanks to u guys and the almight who gave me the sign to watch the video and i could attempt that question really well....!! Thank you osmosis!!
  • Being a Medical student and finding such great illustrations of diseases and medicine, all i would say is, you guys are the professors I’ve longed for. And I’m thankful of everyone working in osmosis, the script writer, the narrator , the video editor, the producer, everyone. Your high gradient knowledge has osmotically entered my lower gradient knowledge, and will watch these video until both the gradients becomes equal. Thank you guys❤️

    My mother succumbed to this disease in 2016. She used to occasionally complain of shortness of breath at times but never checked it out.. it then got worse that’s when we took her to the hospital and she was immediately admitted to ICU and said she was left with 20% lung function. 💔💔May her soul Rest In Peace.. She still gives me more motivation to succeed in med school
  • I have experience Streptococcus Pneumoniae(Lobar Pneumonia) when i was 6th grade(2006) before that i was diagnose w/ Rheaumatic Heart Disease(2004) also cause by Strep, due to my RHD i was rush to the hospital after after having 1 day of fever and shortness of breath and irregular heartbeats i cannot even move due to my fever and my skin was very sensitive when someone touches it stings, medication in the hospital took a week my doctor said i was lucky because a week before i caught pneumonia my doctor have given me my monthly injection of penicillin for my RHD..

    I was feeling ill for a week before I finally had no energy to walk. Had to call an ambulance and that's the last I remember untill I woke up in the ICU,intubated and had no idea what was going on. I thought I was choking and couldn't breath thought I was going to die, couldn't communicate or move to tell the nurses. I shit myself many times I was scared shitless. Hospital staff should let people know what's going on. Half my hair fell out after this experience from stress. When I came out of a coma I felt reborn which was pretty amazing. It turned out I had compilations including severe sepsis, respiratory failure, kidney damage and other things.

    french fry pneumonia, I'm done, I'll watch the rest of the video tomorrow.
  • 1/2 This explanation is great. Thankyou. My husband was diagnosed with pneumonia at a very late stage 4 years ago. It just looks like he had a bad flu. He wasn't coughing up anything. He got severe pain and had to be rushed to the ER. His lungs were full of pus and the infection had started on the outside of his lungs aswell. He went through 21 hellish days of hospital treatment ; IV antibiotics, a thoracic draining tube and a 3 day treatment of severely painful fribronylitics (which he was told wouldn't be painful). The fribronylitics was supposed to flush the infection out by melting the lung fibres as the infection wouldn't budge from the antibiotics. It didn't work. He was then referred to a thoracic surgeon. He operated and physically removed the infection. He said my husband's lungs were as white as plaster and one lung was squashed by a large amount of scar tissue. The lung couldn't be moved without damaging it more. 4 years on hubby still has daily severe pain. Cont.
