Can we see sickness simply by looking at the human face? At TEDxBloomington, Jeffrey Kline discusses the idea that all people have the ability to see sickness on other human faces, a skill that physicians are not yet using to the fullest potential to reduce unnecessary testing and better connect with patients. Kline is an emergency physician and researcher at Indiana University's School of Medicine, and member of The National Blood Clot Association's medical advisory board. He specializes in breath-based and facial diagnosis methods to assess the severity of pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism is the third leading cause of cardiovascular death and second leading cause of sudden death in the nation. Due to these steep statistics, Kline says physicians consequently over-test patients.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
