USMLE Study Songs - Phenylketonuria (PKU)

Visit www.studywithsubstancep.com to download this song and for a better way to navigate these videos. USMLE Study Songs and USMLEntertainment are my Step 1 series. In this series, Substance P presents a brief video review of a pertinent medical topic and writes an accompanying song. The song appears as a "response" to this video (or vice versa). See my YouTube home page for my disclaimer, and please visit my website. If you are offended by this video, please read my YouTube profile before commenting. I am not making fun of your disease or anyone's disease! These songs are designed to consolidate scientific information and make that information more memorable. --------------------- In the style of my least favorite artist of the last two decades (i.e. Jack Johnson)... enjoy! DISCLAIMER: I am a medical student who decided that it's nearly impossible to memorize everything for the USMLE board examinations without making things more memorable. Thus, I starting writing songs about the diseases to help me (and you) remember a little bit about them. I realize that this practice can be a bit dehumanizing and may even seem inappropriate or malicious. I assure you that I mean no harm and do not mean to poke fun at these conditions. I know that people suffer from disease each and every day and that disease is no laughing matter. Nonetheless, medical education can be a bit dry and simultaneously completely overwhelming. Thus, I thought singing about these diseases might help me remember them. I apologize if you are offended, but I assure you that I have a big heart. I wrote these songs to ensure that I would know something about your diseases when I am treating you in the future.
