A DOCTOR'S TOUCH - Dr. Abraham Verghese



My son, Joon wants to be a psychiatrist and is studying hard for his future dream. Recently I got a chance to watch Dr. Abraham Verghese's lecture video 'A DOCTOR'S TOUCH.' It deeply impressed me. I want to show that video to anyone wishing to become a doctor... also to my son.

Dr. Abraham Verghese, an author, physician and med school professor, and gifted public speaker, was invited to speak at the TED Global in Edinburgh, Scotland in 2011. He spoke about the importance of the physical exam and how we physicians are in danger of losing the connection with our patients as we focus more on technology and the electronic medical record.




 
              
 
 
 
About Abraham Verghese's TEDTalk
 
"The most important innovation in medicine to come in the next 10 years: the power of the human hand."
 
Modern medicine is in danger of losing a powerful, old-fashioned tool: human touch. Physician and writer Abraham Verghese describes our strange new world where patients are data points, and calls for a return to the traditional physical exam.
