The Waiting Room is a documentary by Pete Nicks that tells the story of caregivers and patients at Highland Hospital in Oakland, CA -- a hospital that serves a large population of uninsured patients. The Waiting Room attempts to tell stories of "common humanity instead of politics." As the debates on health care reform become increasingly divisive, we are reminded that health care is first of all about people and relationships among them. This week, we will focus on some of the videos from the film's Storytelling Project. After hearing these stories, let's pledge to remember that everything we say about "health care" is about human beings who are in need of health care.
Today's video, "The Caregiver," comes from the Storytelling Project of The Waiting Room. Click here to view the video.
