Physician and best-selling author Abraham Verghese is a professor of medicine at Stanford University and has given presentations worldwide, focusing on the human side of medicine.  In his terrific TED talk, he passionately argues that in the midst of overwhelming data and technology, we must never lose sight of the patient.

“When we shortcut the physical exam, we not only overlook simple diagnoses, but we’re losing much more than that.”
