Visit http://MyHealthStory.me for more info. The basic idea is to share short video stories about your healthcare experiences as a patient, family member, or healthcare professional. This is done by uploading these into your own YouTube account and adding a little tag that makes the system find the videos.

The project is hosted by a team at Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Centre.

Here is a good example by ePatient Dave:

The project leader Lucien Engelen provides some background info:

Please have in mind that by recording your video story you voluntarily reveal elements of your (or your relative or friend) protected health information as defined by the HIPAA law in the U.S. This is similar to sharing your personal experience on a blog or any other website.

From CNN:

The woman inserts the latex condom like a tampon. Jagged rows of teeth-like hooks line its inside and attach on a man's penis during penetration. Once it lodges, only a doctor can remove it. The doctor inventor says: "It hurts, he cannot pee and walk when it's on. If he tries to remove it, it will clasp even tighter. Yes, my device may be a medieval, but it's for a medieval deed that has been around for decades."

Critics say the female condom is not a long-term solution and makes women vulnerable to more violence from men trapped by the device.
