This site is designed to provide a more in-depth framework for working with the DVD Hurry Up & Wait. The study packet which is available for download contains ideas for working with the DVD. As well, it has reflections on the sample interpretations from the DVD which gives vital insight in terms of more fully understanding the situation that you see on video. We hope that this will be helpful to you in preparing for interpreting in emergency departments.
