Just reading from the slide not explaining anything at all. Could really use some illustrations to differentiate the different types of brain herniation.

Great Lecture!

Not his best

By Jack B. on 13. February 2020 for Increased Intracranial Pressure: Introduction

Some of Dr Raj's lectures are excellent, but this is one of the frequent examples of his strange mannerisms obstructing a clear explanation.

Provided no useful explanations on the topic and I ended up looking for information on google to understand it myself. To much joking around and too little professionalism.

Sesame street

By Robert d. on 13. November 2018 for Increased Intracranial Pressure: Introduction

Lets his need top "put on a show" get in the way of explaining things. Could perhaps benefit from some diazepam before lecturing.

I need of improvement

By Hamed S. on 21. March 2017 for Increased Intracranial Pressure (ICP)

I'm not sure if this topic will be covered in neurosurg but serious detail lacking. First of all no definition what a raised ICP is and how best to diagnose. No clear explanation of the underlying cause ie mass effect (tumour, abscess), vascular (hypoxia, hypercapnia, venous flow obstruction), hydrocephalus (obstructive vs none), pseudotumor cerebri. It would have been useful to discuss shunts in the treatment as well and when you may consider inserting them
