Aww, that was very sweet!! She's one of the "lucky" ones who got a good portion of her life back. I'm so glad she had family support. Thanks, David! ☺️🩵💟
I admire those who don't let their disability, birth defects of handy cap defeat them in life. I wish these kinds of short films were shown in classrooms of 5th or 6th graders so they can learn what it's like to be different perhaps they might think twice before making fun of others who are different and maybe we can put a stop to bullyism. Thanks David and your team for making this film.
It would benefit school age children to be taught the way my mother and grandmother explained it. There are "birth marks", "handi and capable" individuals , and those with "differabilities", and if you can't learn something from each person you meet you did not try. Hope you're having a great weekend 💖🌞✨
David all of the videos are awesome, makes me want to do the same, I dont have the skills. I wish you do more work for the future years. We will look at 2024 the way we look at your videos from old days.
An incredible story of determination. A reminder to be a nice human. Just a beautiful piece thank you so much, have a wonderful week/weekend Mr. Hoffman ✨
I second that sentiment on "to be a nice human" what a wonderful world this would be if everyone lived that way. 🤔🧡 I hope you'll enjoy this unique love story in this 1965 song “Little Tin Soldier” by Shawn Phillips “Little Tin Soldier” Shawn Phillips Once in a town in the Black Forest A little white toy shop stood And the little tin soldier with only one leg Lived in a castle of wood And across the room on another shelf Stood a little glass case And a tiny ballerina lived in there All in a dress of lace And from where the little tin soldier stood They could see each other so clear And the little tin soldier watched over her With a love that was so dear Then one day sadness came The tiny ballerina was sold The little tin soldier was thrown away And into the gutter he rolled The water carried him to the sea And many far-off lands He made many children happy As he passed through their tiny hands But then one day they met again In a house in the land of Eire And when the clock on the wall struck the midnight hour They jumped into a fire And in this fire, oh, they will stay Forever and a day For the fire, Lord, is the fire of love Just like the peaceful dove
There are so many wonderful aspects of this documentary - thank you for sharing. First of all it’s a good personal reminder to make the most of hard circumstances instead of being stuck in self-pity. I also loved Patti’s boss at the social work agency talking about her being a good case worker and role model for someone else with a tbi - that’s one of the earlier examples of someone discussing the benefits peer support (having someone on your team who shares similar lived experience) within the social work arena that I’ve seen, which I am a passionate advocate for. Very cool. The regional accents! I love hearing Patti’s family’s accents. You don’t get to hear them so much in much media these days. Accents have become much more standardized especially in these kinds of documentaries. Sometimes I watch old news clips from the 70s and 80s to hear people with Rhode Island or Baltimore and other niche accents because I love the personality it adds. I also admire the realism of both the doc and Patti when it comes to her situation. Yes, she did overcome the odds in many ways but her life will still be fundamentally challenging and there is a lifelong process of reckoning with that. Far too often it feels like media either presents stories either too rosily or too grimly. This was a refreshing slice of reality.
It’s great to view this wonderful video again. Becoming a healthcare professional requires academic learning, supervised training and interacting with the most amazing teachers - the patients themselves. Patty taught me a great deal. ….. Frank Sparadeo, Ph.D.
When she was 19, she and friends were driving and skidded into a truck. She was in a coma for 5 1/2 months. She had 33 surgeries in her joints and LOTS of physical therapy.

@@FishareFriendsNotFood972 I can't speak for the lovely women featured, but in my own experience I have little to no trouble understanding my uncle (a similar situation). That being said when I need to "speak for him" he will most definitely stop me if I get it wrong or miss something. ☺️ I respect your speaking up because people should always be watching for this too, even though I feel her interpreter was sincere. 💖🌞✨
@@MGMG-lc2fe that's very enlightening information, thank you! And thank you for doing what you can to continue conversations with loved ones who communicate differently 🙂
This kind of thoughtful documentary needs to come back.
i don't understand why everything needs to be all glitz and glam these days. very frustrating.

@StephanieJeanne... 🥰👍
I have a few friends with TBI, its very difficult but they can still have a good life and family as well.
A few?! I'm curious as to how you came to know these individuals. I hope they and you are doing well
A miracle indeed

That would be great, Drew! I agree.😊🏵️

1965 song “Little Tin Soldier” by Shawn Phillips
“Little Tin Soldier”
Shawn Phillips
Once in a town in the Black Forest
A little white toy shop stood
And the little tin soldier with only one leg
Lived in a castle of wood
And across the room on another shelf
Stood a little glass case
And a tiny ballerina lived in there
All in a dress of lace
And from where the little tin soldier stood
They could see each other so clear
And the little tin soldier watched over her
With a love that was so dear
Then one day sadness came
The tiny ballerina was sold
The little tin soldier was thrown away
And into the gutter he rolled
The water carried him to the sea
And many far-off lands
He made many children happy
As he passed through their tiny hands
But then one day they met again
In a house in the land of Eire
And when the clock on the wall struck the midnight hour
They jumped into a fire
And in this fire, oh, they will stay
Forever and a day
For the fire, Lord, is the fire of love
Just like the peaceful dove
@drewpall2598 Just tears of the best sort, a truly lovely song 💖🌞✨
@@MGMG-lc2fe Thanks you for listening to the song take care now. 💞💂♂👸
@drewpall2598 You take care too Mr. Drew, it's really a beautiful song I'd never heard before, or if I had I don't recall. Very thankful to you.💖🌞✨
What an amazing, beautiful and dignified person. Thank you David.
I love this ! Thank you💖🙋🏻♀️✨🇨🇦

This is very sad. Those people live life to the fullest. For people like us sometimes we take things for granted.
Que lindo!!!❤
Thank you David Hoffman for another helpful video!

I wonder whatever happened to her?
When she was 19, she and friends were driving and skidded into a truck. She was in a coma for 5 1/2 months.
She had 33 surgeries in her joints and LOTS of physical therapy.
I think the writer of the question was referring to “whatever happened to her” in the future AFTER this film was made.
@@luv2dancesalsa465 As per Google AI:

Amazing!
What a spirit. Her family is wonderful.
Brooklyn girls?
I wonder how she's doing today? I hope she was able to pursue her career in social work.
Decades on from this docu., medical science has been hapless for these patients. The only hope is regenerative medicine. Musk has taken the lead.
I would like to be as respectful as possible, but I worry the woman translating for her in the beginning may have been putting words in her mouth.

What is Patty Hogan and Jonathan Huston, who gave her a chance, now?
🫂
Sure hope thats actually why she was getting laid off.
