This episode of TED Talks Daily features "TED Intersections," an unscripted conversation between Navied Mahdavian, a New Yorker cartoonist and writer, and physician Amy Baxter, exploring the question, "How do you navigate pain?". They discuss the parallels between cartooning and medicine, focusing on distilling complex emotions and experiences into simple, manageable forms, whether through lines in a cartoon or focusing on specific details to cope with grief and physical pain. They also touch on cultural differences in expressing pain and the challenges of being taken seriously in their respective fields. The conversation highlights the value of interdisciplinary discussions for innovation and finding common ground in seemingly disparate areas.
