How doctors can be so wrong when they are so sure they are right | Ines von Mühlenen | TEDxBasel

When we go to the doctor, a physician looks for specific symptoms to indicate a corresponding disease. However, what if this approach is actually short-sighted? Ines von Mühlenen shows us her perspective as a physician and why we need to approach diagnostics from a different perspective.

The intro animation was produced as a collaboration between TEDxBasel and the Hochschule Luzern. This animation was created by Loïc Kreyden and Valentine Moser.

She is a physician specialized in internal medicine and rheumatology, as well as physical medicine and rehabilitation. In her practice in Basel, she combines her passion for treating patients with her passion for the sciences. Working on research in immunology and microbiology for some years before practicing medicine opened her mind to the fact that we are still far away of understanding all rules of nature.
