The Great Lie that Tells the Truth | Abraham Verghese | TEDxStanford

[@TerlinguaTalkeetna]

I once long ago had a doctor that changed my life and was as great as this man, his name was Gordon B McFarland Jr. Surgeon at Ochsner in New Orleans, La. He died in 2009 but lives on in my heart and soul. Dr. Verghese is such a gift to see and hear speak.

Here after reading "Cutting For Stone" By Abraham Verghese! Best read 💙 at chapter 17 stopped off to listen to "Tizita" by Getachew Kasa as he mentioned it been great beat which it is! what a valuable & an educational 📖

[@ThaliaRam]

Dr Verghese is such an inspiration! Not only is he a renowned Doctor, he practices medicine as if it were a craft, a special skill that we are all privileged to practice. One day I wish I can match even a fraction of his passion for practicing the art of medicine.

Beautifully said, "a special skill that we are all privilieged to practice". :)

WOW, How Inspiring ! I listened to Dr.AV's Talks over & over again, just for the rhythm & magnitude of inner joy & magical feel, that makes my day filled with motivation to read more and more. To hear a lecture from a well informed personality is indeed mesmerizing & educational as well. Best wishes to you Dr.AV. from Vancouver,BC

Dr abraham you are a gift of ... GOD.. thank you!

[@ramonmartinez89]

Very few Doctors realize the great healing they can do. A lot try to heal by fear and urgency, but as the illness is cured the mind remains sick. Some very few, heal with hope and encourage with LIFE and even if they are at deaths' doorstep they are full of life and have lived enough and passed through with courage and dignitay intact.

Thank you for a beautiful talk. I love the way that Chekhov met his end with acceptance and Grace. Just hoping we can all meet our ends in the same fashion with much joy before that end comes.
