The Center for Communication in Medicine (CCM) will present an Exclusive Screening of “The Doctor” on Saturday, April 7, 2018 at Oldcastle Theatre in Bennington, Vermont.
The film tells the story of a doctor who becomes a patient and discovers the challenges of life from the other side of the stethoscope. Following the screening a Q&A will feature local healthcare providers Dr. Marcus Martinez, Dr. Carol Salazar and Nurse Kiki Smith, who will share their personal experiences as patients.
The film stars William Hurt as a doctor who thought he knew it all until he became a patient and finds himself frustrated in navigating the healthcare system. The film received wide acclaim and a prized “Two Thumbs Up” by critics Siskel & Ebert.
CCM’s 2017 film series was sold-out with attendees proclaiming, “We can’t wait for the next film and discussion.” This SpeakSooner event is another of CCM’s community outreach efforts in support of its mission: “to prepare patients facing serious illness and their loved ones for meaningful conversations with healthcare providers, leading to a plan of care that honors a person’s values, priorities, and goals.”
The screening of “The Doctor” and a compelling Q & A session featuring local doctors and nurse will be on Saturday, April 7, 2018, at Oldcastle Theatre, 331 Main Street Bennington, VT at 6 PM.
Tickets are $25.00 and include the film, discussion and a dessert reception. Limited seating.
