This video from the Harvard Medical School Class of 2016, What Does the Spleen Do?, is worth a look. These class shows were once for a hyperlocal audience. Now they’ve got worldwide reach.
While created for fun, these medical students hopefully grasped that idea that when it comes to health information, the way we package information is as important as the information itself. A lesson almost as important as anything heard in anatomy. Cue up ZDoggMD.
I’d have been happier had they finished by telling us that the spleen is just a big honkin’ lymph node.
