Inspired by her mother's long battle with cancer, Dr. Wen is passionate about guiding patients to advocate for better care. She is the author of the critically-acclaimed book, When Doctors Don't Listen: How to Avoid Misdiagnoses and Unnecessary Tests. A noted physician, researcher, and international speaker, Dr. Wen has been featured in TIME, Newsweek, ABC News, The New York Times, Washington Post, NPR, CNN, Fox, MSNBC, and the award-winning HBO documentary Reporter. She is the leader of a new, low-tech revolution to better health that calls for the return of medicine as a healing art. Dr. Wen was the opening speaker at the first ever TEDxCortland, held November 9th, 2013, at Greek Peak Mountain Resort. All TEDxCortland talks were filmed by Moving Box Studios.

Fantastic TED talk...looking into Nursing beyond the bedside and listening to people stories as a public health nurse looks to be in my future.
Thank you very much for sharing your story. It was truly inspiring.
An amazing presentation. I really appreciate the emphasis on what providers can do "for patients" than "to patients".
Powerful and informative. Thank you.
wonderfully constructed Tedtalk I need to tell my story to my doctors--clash of symptoms GERD and osteopenia. I was going to ignore it. Maybe not. Maybe I need to tell my story. Thanks. My grandkids need a grandmother with strong bones and a healthy stomach. But which doc to see?
Ohhhh its good talk...from heart to heart..thanks
I just love all of your speech..
What a great story and speaker; truly enjoyed it!
Thank you for such an amazing talk ! Very enlightening
Great and true speech Dr. Wen. Thank you. A Hero in Healthcare industry. A Great person indeed. True speech is bitter but is so true. Much humans had lost its conscience.
Extremely inspiring! We need more providers ESP. PA's. But a lot of this has to with lack of providers in the world. The shortage of doctors causes less time with each patiences. Too many people in the world with too little doctors.
Very inspiring...
I do my research. I condense my story.diagnosis please?

I love being a doctor. My employer lets me spend 1 hour with new patients and 30 minutes with return patients. But very few physicians have the luxury of spending more than 30 minutes with new patients. I am willing to work long hours and make 100K less than other physicians for this privilege. 3rd party payers won’t reimburse for the time and thought needed to understand the patient and his/her complaints. Sadly, patients are generally also unwilling to pay for time even though they “appreciate” the extra time. Patients complain if they leave the clinic without getting tests or prescriptions.
If we reward behaviors that are sub-optimal, why the surprise?
Great speech .. Medicine has become too technical they are not treating the patient (whole person),, they are treating the symptom only.
she is a good dr but needs to get her numbers correct on population %
Independent thinker to admit mistakes, most do not have the courage. My kind of doctor that doesn't know everything ,just cares.
she still hasnt admitted and apologised to the unvaccinated after covid lockdowns.. She blamed the unvaccinated and called them a danger to society when this was clearly false from the beginning.. she also believed the lies of exaggerated covid death numbers which she later realised..... yeah nice doctor...not !
Ooh my! What a great speech
Dr. Wen appears to be a brilliant young practitioner who has done significant research on the subject matter and presents typical scenarios known to any medical practitioner. While there are documented positive results both in patient outcome and decrease in medical expense I don't see how any practitioner in the USA would be able to sustain such a model for the long term. This, IMHO is due to 2 HUGE factors that were not addressed in her talk; those are 1) health insurance companies and the sometimes skewed reimbursement parameters and, more importantly, the insanity of the litigious freedom of the patient population...which, in turn, has massive effects on malpractice insurance costs for practitioners. A practitioner has learned to 'cover his/her ass' and leave a documented trail of 'tests' to rule in or rule out a list of potential diagnoses; in a court of law in the US there is no way the documentation of time spent in conversation would be enough evidence to 'clear' one sued for malpractice. Until we change that piece, I believe there is no real hope to actually allow practitioners to provide medical care in the way most of them already know has the best outcomes....and that is, the precious but simple method of spending TIME. Perhaps we can learn from the Danish medical world; they approach malpractice suits in a sane manner...
The research shows that doctors who really listen to their patients and establish good rapport are sued much less often...so if you can remove the fear from medicine and humanize doctors again, they will be fine. They just have to give it a try
Go internet, then listen to a you tube ND.
but what if tech was sufficiently advanced so that you can inject a monitoring system into bloodstream and that system will automatically collect health data 24/7? AI can then assist doctors in coming up with an accurate diagnosis.
chip right?

Its irresponsible on her part as a physician to say that human connection and story telling is better than the investigations which are done. The human body and its illnesses are like puzzles which are too complicated to be solved by the data gathered from patients personal experience. I am sorry but this idea is not worth spreading
