EMPATHY: The Human Connection

Last edited Sat Mar 23, 2013, 09:42 AM - Edit history (1)

This four-minute video produced by the Cleveland Clinic is WONDERFUL!!!

It's a simple message I'm always trying to convey via Wishadoo. Just beautiful. Hope you enjoy it as well (I went through several tissues, I found it so touching).

Sure, it serves as an ad for Cleveland Clinic (I'm not associated with them in any way), but the message is powerful, imho.

We share lots of warm, fuzzy videos that happen to be ads (Budweiser comes to mind).

Edit to add, welcome to DU. I see you are VERY new.

But I've been around long enough to recognize product placement when I see it. (was the huge banner necessary?) Opening Pandora's shill box is not a good idea and it should not be allowed here or in any other media that presents itself as "fair and unbiased". Wazzup up DU editors?

I created that. Again, I have nothing to do with Cleveland Clinic, but I took the quote from the video to encapsulate the message in the video since many people on the Internet now have a 2-second attention span.

I included their logo because I'm very aware of copyright issues and crediting sources properly.

I can see how you misinterpreted that as product placement, so I removed it.

Again, welcome. I can see you and I are destined to have a lot of fun.
