Movie Description Registered nurse Patricia Carroll draws on 20-plus years of medical experience to offer helpful tips on home healthcare in the PBS documentary HINTS FOR HEALTH: A NURSE'S NOTEBOOK. Based on her book WHAT NURSES KNOW AND DOCTORS DON'T HAVE TIME TO TELL YOU, Carroll's easy-to-follow program teaches viewers how to identify and treat common ailments and injuries such as headache, heartburn, constipation, rashes, sprains, and cuts with everyday household items like vinegar, rubbing alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, and even celery. In addition to specific advice, the program takes an overall approach to wellness that includes accident prevention, medication safety, surgery recovery, and the ins and outs of health insurance--all delivered in Carroll's warm and friendly, yet highly authoritative, style.
