What makes us get sick? Look upstream | Rishi Manchanda | TED Talk

The TED Talk “What makes us get sick? Look upstream” is powerful call for doctors to pay attention to a patient’s life outside the exam room. Rishi Manchanda has come to realize that his job isn’t just about treating a patient’s symptoms, but getting to the root cause of what is making them ill--factors like an unhealthy diet, poor stress management and a lack of fresh air. Manchanda challenges healthcare professionals to use mental agility and exercise their problem solving skills to improve their patients’ physical well-being.
