Host: You have been involved in a project called DRMDK. What is DRMDK?
Guest: DRMDK is a website that gives you pediatric and all information, all types of videos and information that parents need to know and should know regarding their children and different situations and different problems and it really is just a cornucopia in pediatric medical information.
Host: It's not to replace your old doctor, it's something like help you get some more information, so when you go to a doctor, it's a more useful, basically your doctor who will make the final decision of every case, is that's true?
Guest: Exactly, exactly many parents have questions or to do research like I did before I had my son and right away the things to do now is just to go online, go to different websites and many times you are reading text such as pages of medical terms and it seems like it's copy and pasted out of medical dictionary. Here you have doctors from the greater New York area such as Maimonides and Schneider Children's Hospital, speaking in layman's terms about everything from field cap to some sort of cardiac conditions in infants.
Host: With the breastfeeding experts.
Guest: Yeah, breastfeeding experts, feeding, obesity, everything that a parent is going to find everywhere from having a newborn to teenager who's depressed and and what not, and it's just full of information for parents to get a layman's terms described for them, then they can take that and go to their pediatrician, go to other doctors and speak to them about that, but yeah in no ways it replace the doctor ever.
Host: May be we did it, we went to the doctor's office and some like the diagnosis is made and the doctor was going to answer the question, okay he does many times that same day so in the circumstance, so you might even meet the doctor and you might even want to use the doctor that was in our goal. But along the way from YouTube we put a lot of video work there.
Guest: Yes, we did.
Host: And we only got 180,000 views the first year because we are mixed in with so many other things.
Guest: There are so many others exactly, besides loading up those videos on YouTube to get it out to the main stream pop internet populus, but it was cluttering underneath all the other fun videos. I know it is a little bit hard to find because it was so buried underneath YouTube because YouTube doesn't really, I mean, to show medical videos. It's more of a general video.
Host: You also tried MySpace and after a year we don't have --
Guest: Yeah, MySpace also didn't work.
Host: -- maybe 4,000-5,000 views.
Guest: Yeah, we didn't have that many hits on MySpace.
Host: We found a lot of websites over the year. So I think we last time checked with 650 and then using different videos for different data, but we still want couple, then what did we find a website in Israel called 5min. The graphics were great because you are into graphics and navigation was superb.
Guest: Simple and easy, yeah.
Host: They modified because they were prepared for a medical edition like we did, very accommodating and they also reviewed it before they put up, but we liked very much. So some crap part who claims he is a doctor may not be a doctor. It would be very tough to get through their front door. Wasn't that, I think we like a lot.
Guest: Yeah, absolutely we like them a lot for their clean site look, everything is easy to find. We became one of their top contributors, it is very fast. They even dedicate I think a whole section to our videos and it was fabulous and they did review, and YouTube I think don't get reviewed so many times inappropriate context, content does get uploaded to the site and if you are going to look for pediatric information, the last thing you need to see is inappropriate material for your children, just in case they are watching the video's review and 5min really did a great job of approving the videos and really screening them for inappropriate content.
Host: We also don't take sites like some people like good example would use inhalers in young kids; some people use nebulises (ph). So we get one doctor who like nebulises and we had one that like inhalers. You and your own doctor decides.
Guest: We show both sides of the picture. Obviously we have our personal opinion of which method or which medicine would be the best to use but just like in life you are free to make your own decision with considering with your own doctor, but you want to see both pictures. You always want to see both sides of the story before you make a decision just like you do with anything in life. Before you buy a car you look at all the different models, you don't just stick with one. So we shall -- both sides of the picture, both opinions from again top rated doctors, professionals in their field for many, many years has its department etcetera.
Host: Thank you!
