(Revised for **Feb 20, 2026** per owner note: **no holiday mention**; fully evergreen.) **Format:** Educational myth vs. fact. Calm, reassuring, clinical tone. **No guarantees** or outcome promises. **Hook (0–2s):** “Myth: If a foot wound doesn’t hurt, it’s not serious.” **Myth vs. Fact Beats (simple on-screen text):** 1) **Myth:** “No pain = no problem.” **Fact:** Diabetes-related nerve changes can reduce sensation—wounds can worsen quietly. 2) **Myth:** “If it’s small, it can wait.” **Fact:** Small blisters/cuts can become serious if you have diabetes or poor circulation—**early evaluation matters**. 3) **Myth:** “Let it air out and it’ll heal faster.” **Fact:** Many wounds do better with the right **moist, protected** environment—**as advised by your clinician**. 4) **Myth:** “Amputation is the only option once a wound starts.” **Fact:** Early wound care may include **circulation assessment**, **infection control**, **offloading**, and—when appropriate—advanced options like **HBOT**. 5) **Myth:** “HBOT is like an oxygen bar.” **Fact:** HBOT is a **supervised medical therapy** delivered in a **pressurized, full-body chamber**. **B-roll / Visual guidance (non-graphic, realistic + activity-based):** - AI influencer (Kaylin AI approved) in clinic lobby checking in → seated consult (no exam close-ups) - Close-up of hands placing a clean bandage on a socked foot mannequin / demo model - Comfortable supportive shoe + insert shown on a table; then walking boot/offloading shoe shown being put on (no wound shown) - Hyperbaric chamber exterior + patient reclining comfortably (calm, medical setting) - Simple animated overlays/icons for neuropathy, circulation, dressing, offloading, oxygen chamber **Quick Patient Reminder (1 line on-screen, optional, evergreen):** “Diabetes can reduce feeling in the feet—check daily.” **HBOT Quick Facts (on-screen):** - “Typical session: ~90–110 minutes (outpatient)” - “Many care plans: ~20–40 sessions (varies)” **Provider Mention (on-screen + voiceover):** “At Andrea Hyperbaric Wound Care & Health Center, **Dr. Mary Andrea** and **Dr. Alexander Jarbath** focus on **minimally invasive, limb-salvage–oriented care** when possible.” **Safety/Compliance Line:** “Every wound is different—recommendations depend on your exam and medical history.” **CTA (final 3–5s):** “Concerned about a slow-healing foot or leg wound?
