Future Plan for the Channel
1. I sincerely wish these videos to reach as many medical
students as possible. I am happy to inform you that this
channel has already crossed the landmark of 65Ks views
and 2.1Ks subscriptions with the support of viewers from
all over the world. It is having a snowball effect- as the
number of videos uploaded is increasing, corresponding to
that, the number of viewers per day is also steadily increasing.
2. Now to take the channel to the next level, I have decided
to go live once in a month to clear the viewers doubts regarding
a pre assigned surgical topic at a pre fixed date
and time. Viewers can chat with me live and clear their
doubts.
3. I humbly request all my viewers to help me in this mission
of reaching out to medical students with quality surgical
teaching videos, by actively sharing these videos in
your social medias.
