Rating:  - First Do No harm
Hello all, This Video was good it was so true and hight home it was like my life when I was a kid going through all the test and Doctors. If you have Epilepsy or you no anyone with Epilepsy you need to look at this video. Or get it for a friend with epilepsy to look at so they will no that there not alone with what they have to deal with. I have had epilepsy for 37 years now and this is good.
Rating: - Powerful movie
Very powerful movie on how the parents can and should take control of what happens when thier children become sick. Meryl Streep is brilliant as always! And the movie flows well.. really enjoyed it..
Rating: - First Do No Harm
Very good movie with well acted characters! A must see for anyone going throught this epileptic journey with a child as we are with our grandson! It is very informative on how abrupt it hits a child's life and how totally diabling it is. The step by step journey is so well documented while keeping the movie with a good storyline.
Rating:  - 'First Do No Harm' is just OK
Lorenzo's Oil is a much better screenplay and compelling story.
I am surprised Meryl Streep agreed to do this film with such a weak screenplay. The story is significant, but the rendering is just OK.
Too bad there isn't a more compelling film that deals with epilepsy.
Rating:  - Healing is often in natural products
This story tells us that healing is often in natural products. Taking a lot of medicines is not always the way 'the cure'. Being aware of what we eat and drink. So I see this story not only for those who are sick. Going back to the basic (for example what we eat) can help a lot. A good story with a child acting so bravely.
