Where to Find Embeddable Health Information Videos
There are a good number of sources for online health information videos, but I tend to take special note of those sites that will allow me to embed videos on any Web page I want.

Our goal is to reach patients, medical doctors and students around the world to ensure that each is receiving a daily “evidence based” health and medical update.”

Most videos are short and all include closed-captioning (some videos are also open-captioned), so they are accessible to all interested viewers.

Thanks David. I tested all out on the hospital lib. computers and I could view the videos from all the sites. My hospital blocks most streaming media. Only health realted things are allowed to be viewed. Sometimes their blocking software sometimes still blocks health/medical videos.
