Meta Open Source: Open sourcing my blog post about "I am the open source patient"

Surviving
Written By Liz Salmi

A little over one year ago I wrote a blog post declaring that, "I am the open source patient."

Little did I know a few months later I would be contacted by RedHat--a mega distributor of Linux-based services... and they were working on a mini-documentary about open source and healthcare.

And... they asked if I would be in the documentary.

Also featured in the video is super rad brain cancer patient Steven Keating, and the people who created Open Notes--a national initiative working to give patients access to the visit notes written by their doctors, nurses, or other clinicians.

Check out the trailer here, or visit the Open Source Stories web page.
