Comments from online viewers on how information is used

Individual with SCI
  • It gave me a better understanding of how hypnosis interacts with chronic pain, what to expect and what to look for in a therapist. I have more confidence in trying something new. Hypnosis for SCI pain (other state in the US)

  • I know about autonomic dysreflexia but this video explained everything clearly. Autonomic dysreflexia (other state in the US)

  • I would like to use the video in training sessions with new care givers. Autonomic dysreflexia (outside US)

  • Shows new ways to cope and I'm not the only one going through these problems. Conversations…living with SCI (Idaho)

  • I live too far away to attend in person to learn information, however, with videos such as this I can keep informed about vital and new information concerning my SCI. Treatment of urologic conditions (Western Washington State)

  • Helps me to ask more informed questions of my physician. Review of human trials of SCI (Western Washington State)

  • Provided immediate information at the moment I was interested. Video versus written transcript is more entertaining and helped drive home material through visual expression and emotion. Loved actually seeing real life people provide examples. Learned about respiratory fitness. Can go back to review. Fitness (other state in US)

Health care professional
  • I can now direct my patients to resources and provide them with up-to-date information. Your videos are fabulous and I am beginning to use them and information gleaned from them in my therapies. Hypnosis for SCI pain (other state in US)

  • I use hypnosis with US active duty soldiers and veterans. We have virtual reality equipment that we use to treat PTSD. As a result of watching this video I will incorporate VTR hypnosis to the treatment offered to them. Thanks! Hypnosis for SCI pain (other state in the US)

  • I am an educator for an acute rehab hospital. Currently we have a self-learning package for autonomic dysreflexia that is mostly written info and boring. This would be wonderful to use with the new nurses especially. Autonomic dysreflexia (other state in US)

  • Excellent educational tool. Written in an ‘easy to understand language’ and very concise, clear format! Autonomic dysreflexia (other state in US)

  • My new specialty includes assessing lifetime needs of persons with spinal cord injuries. This provides me with outstanding, credible, information for persons with spinal cord injuries. Osteoporosis (Western Washington state)

Others (family, friend, students)
  • It is much easier to listen to a person speaking about technical information than to read about it. I'm much more likely to listen to the whole presentation than to read the whole article. Treatment of urologic conditions (other state in US)

  • I feel better prepared to respond (to autonomic dysreflexia). Autonomic dysreflexia (Western Washington)

  • I'm doing a neurology rotation, and also preparing some tutorials for first year medical students on stem cells and it was a great refresher for me! Stem cells and regeneration of the spinal cord (outside US)

  • We can read about the injury from medical documentation but, to listen to SCI patients is priceless. Conversations…living with SCI (other state in the US)

  • My son has had surgery for kidney stones and nearly a dozen urinary tract infections in less than two years. We attended this presentation. It was very helpful and also helpful to be able to review it online to catch the details. Treatment of urologic conditions (Western Washington state)
