What is TEDx?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxMaastricht, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxMaastricht event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.

Please take a look at this video that explains what TEDx has become:

Great job, I really liked the way they approach the subject ... Like you I am a medical student and participated in the activities of IFMSA MEXICO ....

In Utrecht I was beaten by security and the police while the ER staff look on and laughed, when I was incapable of leaving the ER room due to severe pain. I was not violent, or didn't raise my voice. Maybe if there were more students like Salmaan, health care in the Netherlands could be more than mediocre. Let's hope that doctors like Salmaan continue to spring up in Holland. It will be refreshing to feel safe in the hands of a Dutch doctor for a change...

THANK you so much for these breathtaking film-fragments of my mother at the geriatric department of the Radboud hospital.

She's one of the older ladies in your movie. (interviewed by Dr.)

My two little nephews also appear in your movie. (jigsaw puzzle)

I would like to know if there's a possibility to save/record it, so I will be able to watch it in the future.

Kind regards,

Marcel Degen
