Metaphor & Pain | Shane Neilson | TEDxWesternU

The Human Condition; a concept that is intimately intertwined with every single one of our lives. All of us subscribe to the human condition and the diversity of what that means makes humanity the enigma that it is. Together we will try to navigate its definition from the perspectives of a variety of professionals. From implications on healthcare to business to human rights, TEDxWesternU 2015 will explore what it means to be human. Shane Neilson is a Canadian physician and poet. Neilson studied biochemistry at the University of New Brunswick for three years. At the age of nineteen, Neilson was granted acceptance into Dalhousie Medical School and in 2000 began his medical residency. Dr. Neilson’s success in the medical field is paralleled to his success as an author. In 2006, Shane published, Call me Doctor, an autobiographical account of his medical experience. Shane has also published multiple books of poetry, which have been widely received. In 2010, he was awarded the Arc Poetry Magazine’s 15th Annual Poem of the Year award. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
