About the Renal Tumor Program at my hospital

2 comments Send to friend Print this article

As some of you know, a while ago my oncologist and surgeon, David McDermott and Drew Wagner, asked if I'd be willing to be videotaped talking about what I think about the Renal Tumor program they offer. Well, you know me – please don't throw me in that briar patch! Besides, since I feel pretty strongly that I owe them my life, the least I can do is tell the story to a million people or so.

In a couple of shots you can see my wife Ginny. And, very sharp-eyed long-time Bostonians may be able to recognize that the unnamed fellow in those shots is Gary Gillis, former sportscaster for WHDH-TV. He's the producer of this video.

More details about the Beth Israel Deaconess Renal Tumor Program are on their web site

(As I write this, the video player is behaving very balkily for me. I don't know if it's my computer or the Brightcove video server. I expect they'll get it worked out.)

This video shoot was

This video shoot was unscripted, impromptu, a single take. So what came out of my mouth was just whatever was there when they asked me the questions.

I'd encourage people to look for the ways that empowerment and participatory medicine show up in the story. Anyone care to list one or two?
