Viewer's Guide

 

What I wanted was a teaching tool for medical students, physicians, physical therapists, and family members who are dealing with caregiver and care-receiver issues. I was thinking that this could ultimately be of service because I wanted something good to come out of my accident — not just for me, but for everybody.
