I PREPARED A VIDEO WITH COVID-19 ABOUT CURRENT DATA
And this looses all value when she makes it into an efin business again! Wtf with north Americans? Can they do something for free? Can this woman help others she knows are in need, FOR FREE? How will it help if those trying to heal have to PAY someone to hear their stories? If this woman really and Truly wants to help let her do it for FREE! If not she does not deserve My admiration, but judged as just another "business man", profiting out of other's sufferings with the pathetic facade of being "humanitarian" and "helpful"… Let's do real change and stop making EVERYTHING INTO A PROFIT MAKING MACHINE!! Money is a MEANS NOT A GOAL, AND cannot be men's only motivation in life, that's just sick!
See how she recognised we it! If she was doing it for the Right reasons, could she FORGET WH she is doing what she is doing?? She only forgets because the REAL reason she does what she does he s MONEY AND PRIDE OR GREED AND PRIDE, if not there is no way a True Hu-man could forget the reasons why one does what one does.
London real greater than this garbage
I'm just 14 years old, but honestly I am so interested in women who empower people. I started taking notes too!
The quality of TED is decreasing constantly.
Physicians is a great job to do and even tho they need a doctors too, cause sometimes they put them in highly risks to save other people and the latter often forget to say "thank you" which is a simple do , and lemme tell you we don't need you to gratitude us we just need respect .
Mental health is inportant
It seem like this weighted heavy on her heart.
這樣才華
I appreciate how she ended her speech with the term "Making sure that our healers are healthy enough to heal the rest of us"
As someone who has BiPolar Type I, and who works in Healthcare field, I love everything about this!
How powerful is the statement " Creativity doesn't belong to certain professions."
I moved to tears. Thank you!
The best kind of video's don't get the most views :/
Great ted talk she just sounded really nervous
You can tell in these ted talks these people are like walking on egg shells. I hope this goes on YouTube…I hope I’m not being too too honest.
Why would doctors want to committ suicide with all the good money $$$ they make???
The fact that there are many difficult things mentally difficulties, but specific solutions have always been continuously delayed. The importance of these actions, and reveal the importance of these actions have been found to see the importance index. I think these programs should be introduced as one of the educational process with various medical science courses. Because it can contribute to improving treatment effect and improve service quality.
