7A – Testing the Hypothesis, Part 1
My opportunity is: "to tell stories of remarkable individuals who give vast contributions to the medical field."
Who: Remarkable individuals in medicine;
What: To tell Stories;
Why: Many patients die without their stories being told. They die feeling forgotten.
Testing who: I have selected a broad term for who, because eventually I would like to tell stories of anyone involved in the medial field, from janitors to CEO's, from clinicians to scientists. Currently, however, the main focus is on terminal patients;
Testing what: "Telling stories" was also used broadly, but it is accomplished through the scope of a 2 minute video, filmed in cinema style.
Testing why: I believe that there is another why. When filming someone who works in medicine, like a doctor, I am more interested in their perspective about what needs to change in the field. I do it with the assumption that the first step towards solving a problem is to acknowledge its existence. So awareness is the second why.
Interviews: Unfortunately, I was not able to interview individuals specifically for this task, but I am constantly seeking advice from absolutely anyone I can.

I saw your site and video explaining what you are doing, and it speaks for itself. Your interviews have been done in those videos. Obviously there are people who want there stories told. And it is important to give them a platform to share. The vision you have with sharing all aspects of the medical field, from surgeons, nurses, all the way to janitors is very admirable and should be shown.
ReplyDeleteHey Francisco, I love your idea! I believe seeing and hearing things from people inside the medical field would be amazing. Many of these people work so hard to make sure others are doing kay, and a lot of times they are not as talked about as they should be. Interviewing or getting information from these people and representing it to other people is admirable. These amazing workers should be getting the recognition they deserve!
