@TedXBeaconStreet "Why Can't We Fix Our Healthcare System"
Ayesha Khalid, MD, MBA

We gathered from so many walks of life, all ages, all races, brought together to the TedX Beacon Street experience - drawn to share our story and hear the stories of
others. I did not think that I would meet such an engaging group of individuals including the tireless effort of John Werner, the speakers, organizers, volunteers and the kids who came to help out at the event. I walked away from that weekend, from the GoogleX experience with Bruce Hecht and Pratik Shah, having learned so much more than I taught!
And that is the beauty of the TedXBeaconStreet community - building a series of conversations around topics that involve us all as human beings. There is an underlying goal as well: spreading the message to solve some of humanity's greatest problems including hunger, disease resistance, the need for mindfulness and meditation and most of all, to take a moment to listen to the story of someone else and walk their path with them.
So thank you to all of you who listened to my talk and thank you to all of you who gave a talk and most of all thank you to the amazing TedXBeaconStreet team!
Sincerely,
Ayesha

10 年Ayesha - Thanks for sharing. It was an excellent topic with great pointers both for a patient and a surgeon. Atul Gawande's "Being Mortal" also brings up some excellent perspectives on approaches of physicians - paternalistic vs. informational.
