the movie

spence presented part 1 of his video today at a continuing education program for nurses. it was a great ending to their day. the 2 subjects before him were courses on a lot of things he has gone through. his video put a life to the teachings. in fact one of the instructors used his case to illustrate a bunch of things. of course to protect the innocent she named him joe II who was 62.

at one point the director wanted to cut the video short to keep up with time constraints but was booed off. the video continued. as a pharmacist i have been to alot of these programs and i never been to one where the audience wanted to stay longer. usually it is a race to the door.

we ran into 3-4 nurses who knew spence from the icu at MGH and they were estatic to see him. They could not believe how far along he was in his recovery and how good he looked.

oh yeah, and a standing ovation from 200 health professionals ended it.
