It’s an informative video! I can’t imagine that you made this video when you were suffering from a flu. You are a great teacher!

Hi Unhappyalways,
Thanks for your feedback. You were right about the question having two identical answers. Kind of makes it difficult, doesn’t it. I have corrected the quiz and there is now only one correct choice.
Best wishes,
Richard
Hi Richard,
Regarding the quiz, there are 2 identical answers on one of the questions. (I think it is Question 18 or 19 – hypodermic needle and syringe). I chose the first answer and it happened to be wrong.
