Illness as Experience (2000)

This is a moving and important documentary about a patient with neurofibromatosis and his dermatologist of over 40 years, Dr. Irwin Braverman. It may be hard to obtain, however the film maker, Angelo Volandes may have copies. Volandes was a student at Yale Medical School when he produced this film. He can be reached at: Email.

The film is appropriate for medical students, residents, physicians and all other care givers. It is an unsung gem that focuses on an illness and the doctor-patient relationship.
