Imagine seeing a questions like the ones below while writing a medical biochemistry exam and you immediately go completely blank & scared
QUESTION 1
A 28yr old final year student went on an empty stomach to the gym this morning to workout. After working out for up to 2 hours, he decided to take a drink. Instead of drinking water, he drank up to 3 bottles of an alcohol containing drink. Few minutes after that he slumped and died.

A.What possible complications may result from the quick administration of Nitroprusside
B. What part of the Electron Transport Chain would be affected by the complication
C. What drug must he give as follow up to reduce the potential complications?
Don't worry! these are actually very simple questions to solve if you're well taught to understand the basic concepts of medical biochemistry.
Let me introduce myself. My name is Dr Onos, I'm a medical doctor and a medical biochemistry tutor/coach at TAVAcademy, I will like to take you through a journey that'll simplify medical biochemistry for you and give some clinical applications to medical biochemistry.
