It is satisfying especially if you read before about the effects of PTH.
He is good But honestly its really hard to follow along with what he is saying (even after prereading before the video). Sometimes I feel he jumps around concepts. Mentions something and you thing what he says next its relevant to the previous things and no.
Overall great but wish they had more info on Calcitonin action
