Video Transcript:
I have been part of a caregiver group for a long time. You know, I hear all of the woes-the “I don’t understand,” the “I wish I knew,” those kinds of things.
And I think if they had this experience [Embodied Labs VR Training], they may approach it differently. They may have fewer “I don’t know” moments and “I don’t get it” frustrations. They would have more attempts to connect, to interact more, and to really try to understand.

Hello, dear Hope you are well. I have been following your UA-cam channel for several days now and love your content. I noticed that you are uploading videos regularly, but the growth of the channel is not that much. Subscribers are not increasing and video views are not increasing as well. Do you know how to increase UA-cam channel subscribers? Let us discuss why your video views and subscribers are not increasing and how this problem can be solved.
Thanks for sharing
Great video, thanks for sharing
Thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this webcast, I hope caregivers will view and take to heart the comments made.
Wow, whoever made this video HAS to be a caregiver. I am the sole caregiver for my 76 yr old husband who has Parkinsonism and other health issues. Caregiving is a difficult, but, it has made me a better person.
That was spot on.
Remember you have a legal right to your health information and as the key member of your own or your family members heath care team you need to have real time access to information to make informed decisions - Any doc with an EHR can provide you with online access (and are being paid to do so)
