Regular post of some physio notes. I am trying my best. I am getting better at mind mapping. That’s a progress.

I wanna try studying pathology on my own side by side with physio and learn to do case studies. However, I have learnt just ABP in school. Please, give some suggestions.

I went shopping with mom and I am trying to help my 6 year old brother and 11 year old sister with thier studies so I haven’t been able to post regularly. <@>__<@>
