i’m a lot closer to it than a lot of people.

this week i’m headed off to orlando to the cardiology 2010 conference. i’ll be speaking and signing books there saturday night (2.13.10) at the disney contemporary resort. if you’re in the neighborhood please stop by and say hello!
as part of my presentation to the conference i made this short film. this conference is mostly a medical one, with 26 of us (out of 900 attendees) being classified as “miscellaneous.” a long while ago i met a CHD researcher who told me that one thing doctors and scientists often miss out on is information on the emotional lives of their patients. given that, i wanted to show how some of the subjects from the book are doing now, as young adults out in the world. they’re dealing with the same things we all have to contend with – school, the future, family, love, fear. and they’re all a whole lot more interesting than listening to me speak!
my recommendation: watch it HERE, full screen, in HD for best results.
Filed in: conferences, health, hearts, kids, medicine, my heart vs. the real world, personal work, video.
takes my breath away…for so very many reasons. Well done Max.

This is amazing, I am inspired. Congrats!! And maybe when you are back you can sign my book.
That was a great video, but I think the guy that made it is just as fascinating.
