...third year at Harvard Medical School, already knows far more about health care than most of us. She can diagnose heart failure from a chest X ray. She can diagram the intricate circuits of the brain. And if she needed to, she could probably pull off a pretty decent tracheotomy. But when it comes to communicating with patients, Brickell has a problem: she's too healthy. Like most of her classmates, she has spent very little time as a patient.

The setting of the video is pretty nondescript; it might be a recording studio, it might be a dentist’s office with slightly better lighting. Except for the grills themselves (which are indeed very shiny), everything about the video looks second-rate...
