The efficiency of inefficiency | Victoria Sweet | TEDxMiddlebury

Energized by the idea that caring about a patient is caring for a patient, Dr. Victoria Sweet tries to integrate the verititos or the life-force back into her patients. An emphasis on getting fresh air and free time to help build patient-doctor relationships may seem uneconomical, but Dr. Sweet argues that there is efficiency in inefficiency. Dr. Sweet is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. She is also a prize-winning historian with a Ph.D. in history and social medicine. She practiced medicine for more than twenty years at Laguna Honda Hospital in San Francisco, where she began writing. Her first two essays, "Thy Will be Done" and "Code Pearl," were published in Health Affairs: The Policy Journal of the Health Sphere. Her most recent book, God's Hotel: A Doctor, a Hospital, and a Pilgrimage to the Heart of Medicine (Penguin, 2012), has received a remarkable reception, in part because of its crossover appeal to doctors, nurses, and patients; historians, ethicists, and humanists; and readers who just like a good story. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
