| Video Discription | Physicians take an oath to first do no harm, and yet they contribute to 100,000 deaths a year from hospital-acquired infection. Research shows that one in three times when doctors go from one hospital room to the next, they don’t wash their hands, a simple step to avoid infection. At the same time, during the COVID pandemic despite not having the protective gear needed, physicians cared for severely ill patients, putting their own lives at high risk. Both actions seem illogical until you understand the medical culture that doctors learn in medical school and carry with them throughout their professional careers. A surgeon, healthcare CEO and highly acclaimed author, Dr. Pearl explores these medical mysteries, pulls back the curtain on the culture of medicine, and offers advice for people on how they can benefit from its positive side, but avoid the dangers that lurk in its shadows. Dr. Robert Pearl is the former CEO of The Permanente Medical Group (1999-2017), the nation’s largest medical group, and former president of The Mid-Atlantic Permanente Medical Group (2009-2017). In these roles, he led 10,000 physicians, and 38,000 staff and was responsible for the nationally recognized medical care of 5 million Kaiser Permanente members on the west and east coasts. Named one of Modern Healthcare’s 50 most influential physician leaders, Pearl is an advocate for the power of integrated, prepaid, technologically advanced, and physician-led healthcare delivery. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx |
