How to use your inhaler IN T'ZUTUJIL!
Professor Nathan Smith of the University of Pennsylvania is the filmmaker/director of the asthma inhaler video. Two other videos (one on dehydration/diarrhea, and the other on fever in children) are currently in production stages. The videos were produced with the assistance of Penn medical and nursing students and faculty as well as folks on the ground in Santiago Atitlán. There are more videos available on Youtube.
The videos do a great job of minding the cultural differences between the filmakers and the audience, and provide a great tool for phisicians down there. We're really looking forward to the rest of the videos!
Dr. Irene will be speaking at Penn on Tuesday, October 17th at 4pm. Exact location to be announced shortly. Look for a complete schedule early next week.
