Let's get started with the show.

All right, I just wanted to kind of explain audiobook codes and how to use them in our next email, which should go out Tuesday. Today is the 27th, so if you're on the email list, the way to get on it is go to memorizingfarm.com and then scroll down to "Our Best Pharmacology Cheat Sheet - Yours Free". It's just a name and an address. But I just wanted to let you know what's coming to you. It's going to be a link to a spreadsheet that has all of the books that I've written, whether I've written it or it was in collaboration with someone else, but anything that my name is on. The 30 books that I have my name on. We have this individually on the website under "Books", but I thought it would be easier to just make a spreadsheet. So if you ever want to like, okay, I've done this one, what's the next book? How does that help and so forth? I think that that's going to be useful. So again, I'll send this link out to the website. But what I want to do is kind of explain how it works.

So here are the books, and it's just literally like here's the link to this book, and you know how to hear it on Audible, to hear the five-minute free introduction. And then what I'm going to do is I've just put the first seven books on there. The questions, answers, and rationales. The ones that go by pathophysiologic class: GI, musculoskeletal, respiratory, immune, neurocardio, and endocrine. Those are on sheet two. Those are the codes for each book. And you can see that there's US versus Great Britain. And I will explain how that works in just a minute.

But I've separated all the books by: it's either pharmacology books; residency, if you're looking for a residency and the interviews and things that go along with that; a couple of pre-med/pre-pharmacy/pharmacy student books I've written a long time ago; and then one family book that I wrote.

But again, these are the links to get to the free five-minute audio preview. And then if you want the book free, if you've never been on Audible, you can get it free there. But what these codes are: these are like free-free, if you want to use double of the same thing.

But I wanted to explain the difference between a US code and a UK code. So a US code is one where you are on audible.com. Okay? So audible.com is the US codes. Audible.co.uk is the UK codes.

But where the confusion comes is: well, I'm in the United States but I'm from England or Europe even; or I'm in Europe and I'm from the United States; or I actually have accounts in both.

So it has nothing to do with where you actually live. It has to do with which one you have an account to or which one you want to have an account to. So again, I think you could just make an account if you just wanted the code because there are more GB codes (Great Britain codes) than there are US codes simply because my fan base is mostly US and I'm an American in the middle in the Heartland in Iowa.

So but it doesn't mean that you can't use it. So what I want to do is kind of explain how it works.

So the first thing is: so you go down and you just kind of pick which book you want. So there's seven books here. And if it's GB up here, that means it's only Great Britain codes; that's all I've got left.

If it starts with "4 US codes", that means I have four US codes left and the rest are Great Britain.

And then if I have this many US codes and then I have that many US codes.

And so what you do is: you kind of pick whichever one it's going to be.

If you're in the US then you go to audible.com ACX promo and it looks like this. Okay, and you just literally copy and paste the code in here and you redeem. Okay, and you can see this is my Audible account. So, hi Anthony, I've got one credit available. Buy three extra credits if you want. I am someone who loves audiobooks as a listener, not only as an author. So I think I have over 700. It's when you have kids that that happens. Okay, and you'll notice that the one for the UK is the exact same, it's just audible.co.uk. I'm not signing in there because my account is with Audible proper.

Okay, but you're going to get something like this if you try to go to audible.co.uk. They'll look at your location and say okay well you're in Iowa, are you sure you meant to go to audible.co.uk? And if you just click on it then you get sent to audible.co.uk which looks the exact same except things are spelled in this way so instead of a Z with customize it would be S with a customize and everything is in pound sterling rather than in dollars.

So in terms of like where you go, it's really up to you. Just with what I've talked to people about is they said it's usually easier on a tablet or a computer to use promo codes that are in another country. They're just a little bit easier. I think it can be done on smartphones and so forth, it's just a little bit harder.

But I just wanted to explain what those were. So again thanks for being a loyal subscriber as it were. We just hit a big milestone recently so I'm glad to see so many of you are getting good value out of it.

If you do join, you get the cheat sheet which is basically top 350 drugs with the stems underlined for the ones that have stems and an orderly way to remember pharmacology. So if you're in a class what usually happens is that you get some kind of list of okay well here's the medication if you're lucky and it might be an alphabetical order.

And what you want to do is put it in the best order to memorize. So for example for GI, you would put the antacids first then the H2 blockers and the proton pump inhibitors because clinically most people are going to start with an antacid go over the counter find out that doesn't work exactly go to an H2 blocker that's twice a day and then if they have some kind of ulceration they've got a proton pump inhibitor.

But if you do it in that way not only are you learning the drug but you are learning the therapeutics. And so what I did was I did that for all the drugs like diuretics.

You absolutely want to learn starting at the glomerulus then you do the proximal convoluted tubule with Mannitol and acetazolamide then you go to the ascending Loop of henle with the Loop Diuretics like furosemide then you go to the distal convoluted tubule Hydrochlorothiazide and then the collecting duct where you really know you're talking about the potassium sparing diuretics, spironolactone better known.

So what I've actually done is already put everything in order in the pharmacology book and that's really what the mnemonics are is it's putting it in a memorizable order.

So my Tony farm D YouTube channel just started really with seven videos I made that was me just going up in front of the board and doing all the drugs for memory so no that wasn't it. It was that I took the time to put them in order to make it easiest to remember everything by pathophysiologic class.

So again watch for this on your email on Tuesday the 27th. I'll get that out there and then again you can just kind of explore and see which links you know you like and certainly give me some feedback if you can.

I think I titled it something like You can always contact me at [email protected] but ive got For example, the Medical Coding Mnemonics has been really popular with that group of medical coders. They don't get a ton of audiobooks, and then the Pharmacy Technician one also made one that makes it a lot easier to just study for the test, you know, on your way to work and back and so forth. So let me know what you think. But yeah, that's going to be the audiobooks and again I'll put that in your email next Tuesday, June 27th. So if you do get on the list now, we'll have it to you next week.
