very simple and clear the beginning of the lecture tells you immediately what a coomb test is, and the deep explanation is done as if the Lecturer were explaining something to a child
This is the first time that i clearly understand why and how Coombs Tests are done. Great explanation.
Great explanation of how the direct and indirect test for different things and how they're useful--a nuance that is lost in First Aid.
