WHAT EXPERTS SAY...
Helen and Julie visited with our medical staff, instead of lecturing to us. They made it clear that, even in the context of our busy office practice, we can enrich the experience by being open to the human element which drew most of us to the practice of medicine in the first place. Thank you for reminding me of the importance of paying attention to the person who happens to have a medical problem, instead of merely addressing that problem.
-Charles Ragland, MD, Internist, Shawnee Mission Medical Center, Merriam, Kansas
There is considerable focus in education right now on developing respect for diversity, as well as cultural competency, and customizing care to patient preferences. The 'ethics through drama' approach and vignettes not only address important end-of-life issues, but also provide students with the opportunity to consider values and lifestyles that may differ from their own. As such, they may be used to stimulate discussion and reflection on both very significant educational priorities.
-Janet B. Craig, RN, MSN, MBA, DHA Assistant Professor, School of Nurisng, Clemson University
The School of Nursing at The College of New Rochelle has purchased and used your three tape series. The tapes and acting are magnificent! The student response was wonderful. Many different topics were discussed.
-Dr. Lynda Shand, School of Nursing, The College of New Rochelle
"We teach and learn what it means to be healthcare professionals through cases, the sharing of clinical narratives or stories. Although we have discovered the effectiveness of literature as a vehicle for sharing these stories, the most powerful way of teaching and learning illness narratives is through drama, through actual performances of patients' stories."
-William G. Bartholome, pediatrician and bioethicist
WHAT RECENT ATTENDEES SAY...
"In my twenty years of association work, I have never had the opportunity to hear such a dynamic, unforgettable presentation. The manner in which [Ms. Russell] 'becomes,' with just a few simple props, hospital patients or family members or friends of patients is just unbelievable. [Her] performance is inspiring, touching, and thought-provoking. The characterizations hit audience members right between the eyes."
-Beth Ingram, Vice President, Arkansas Hospital Association
