The problem
It isn’t your ability. It’s how the information reaches you.
Medicine is hard, and we won’t pretend otherwise. But much of the struggle comes from facts that arrive scattered, with nothing tying them together.
- 01
Hundreds of slides every block, and no map that ties them together.
- 02
You know the nerve names… then the question asks what happens if one is injured.
- 03
Hours between YouTube and old notes looking for one clear explanation.
- 04
Cram the night before, forget it a week later.
The Medix method
Every region becomes a four-layer map.
Instead of a list to memorise, you build a picture you understand: where a structure is, what it does, what happens when it is injured, and how it is examined.

Question
How it appears in the exam
Try it now: the nerves of the upper limb
Tap any nerve Axillary nerve
C5–C6-
01Map · Where it is, what it relates to
Winds around the surgical neck of the humerus with the posterior circumflex humeral artery, after passing through the quadrangular space.
-
02Function · What it does
Supplies deltoid and teres minor, and the skin over the lower deltoid.
-
03Lesion · What you see when it is injured
Surgical-neck fracture or anterior shoulder dislocation: weak arm abduction, a flattened shoulder contour and a numb patch over the deltoid.
-
04Question · How it appears in the exam
After an anterior shoulder dislocation a patient cannot abduct the arm and has numbness over the deltoid. Which nerve?
Reveal the answer
The axillary nerve
Radial nerve
C5–T1-
01Map · Where it is, what it relates to
Runs in the radial (spiral) groove on the back of the humeral shaft with the profunda brachii artery.
-
02Function · What it does
Supplies the extensors of the elbow, wrist and fingers, and the skin over the dorsum of the hand at the base of the thumb.
-
03Lesion · What you see when it is injured
Mid-shaft humeral fracture: wrist drop and numbness over the back of the hand. Triceps is usually spared because its branches leave above the groove.
-
04Question · How it appears in the exam
A patient with a mid-shaft humeral fracture cannot extend the wrist. Which nerve is injured?
Reveal the answer
The radial nerve
Ulnar nerve
C8–T1-
01Map · Where it is, what it relates to
Passes behind the medial epicondyle of the humerus in the cubital tunnel: the “funny bone”.
-
02Function · What it does
Supplies most of the small muscles of the hand, and the skin of the little finger and half the ring finger.
-
03Lesion · What you see when it is injured
Medial epicondyle fracture: weak finger abduction and adduction, and a numb little finger. Clawing of the ring and little fingers is usually more marked when the injury is at the wrist than at the elbow (the “ulnar paradox”).
-
04Question · How it appears in the exam
After a medial epicondyle fracture a patient cannot grip a card between the fingers and has a numb little finger. Which nerve?
Reveal the answer
The ulnar nerve
Median nerve
C5–T1-
01Map · Where it is, what it relates to
Crosses the wrist inside the carpal tunnel, under the flexor retinaculum, with the long flexor tendons.
-
02Function · What it does
Supplies most forearm flexors and the thenar muscles, and the palmar skin of the thumb, index, middle and half the ring finger.
-
03Lesion · What you see when it is injured
Carpal tunnel syndrome: tingling in the lateral three and a half fingers that is worse at night, weak thumb opposition and thenar wasting.
-
04Question · How it appears in the exam
Tingling in the thumb, index and middle fingers wakes a patient at night, with weak thumb opposition. Which nerve, and where?
Reveal the answer
The median nerve, in the carpal tunnel

Who is behind Medix
A small team, with medical content led by a doctor.
Dr. Suhaib Alhaj
Medical content lead
Medix’s medical content is prepared under his lead, written to explain rather than to cut corners: every structure is tied to its function, to what happens when it is injured, and to how it is examined.
Is Medix suitable for first-year students?
Yes. The anatomy course starts with Module 0 (Foundations) and assumes no prior anatomy. Internal Medicine, OSCE and Emergency Medicine are aimed at the clinical years.
Is the content in Arabic or English?
Explained in Arabic, with the English terms your exams use. The idea is explained in Arabic so it makes sense, and the English term is kept because that is what you will see in lectures and exams. The site itself is available in both languages.
Can I study on my phone?
Yes. The platform is designed for phones first, and the files are laid out for both screen and print.
Are the lessons recorded?
Yes. Lessons will be short recorded videos you can watch any time, with files and questions for each lesson. The content is in production now, and enrollment is not open yet.
Does Medix replace university lectures?
No. Medix organises what you study at university and makes it easier to understand and revise. Your university’s curriculum, lectures and practical training remain the reference.
How long do I keep access?
12 months from the date of purchase, including any updates to the course in that period.
When will enrollment open?
Enrollment is not open yet. Join the founding list and you will be the first to hear the opening date and the founding-student price, before any public announcement. Joining is free and commits you to nothing.
