TED Talk: The Great Lie that Tells the Truth
Dr. Abraham Verghese is a physician, author, and mesmerizing speaker. In “The Great Lie that Tells the Truth,” Dr. Verghese is a consummate storyteller who weaves personal narrative in with the stories of a dying physician, characters in a James Joyce story, and the AIDS patients he treated. Historical references seamlessly blend with medical terms, the tender tale of lovers with the passion to heal.
