Empathy

Nick Dawson shared this video with the caption that he didn't have much more to say as it captures the best in health care social media. I agree with Nick and commend Cleveland Clinic  for their profound capture of what quality patient care should be with empathy and listening.

The video is so loud in volume without uttering a single verbal sound.
