00:13

Well, we all need a reason to wake up.

00:18

For me, it just took 11,000 volts.

00:23

I know you're too polite to ask,

00:24

so I will tell you.

00:27

One night, sophomore year of college,

00:29

just back from Thanksgiving holiday,

00:33

a few of my friends and I were horsing around,

00:35

and we decided to climb atop a parked commuter train.

00:40

It was just sitting there, with the wires that run overhead.

00:43

Somehow, that seemed like a great idea at the time.

00:46

We'd certainly done stupider things.

00:50

I scurried up the ladder on the back,

00:53

and when I stood up,

00:55

the electrical current entered my arm,

00:58

blew down and out my feet, and that was that.

01:03

Would you believe that watch still works?

01:08

Takes a licking!

01:09

(Laughter)

01:10

My father wears it now in solidarity.

01:15

That night began my formal relationship with death -- my death --

01:21

and it also began my long run as a patient.

01:25

It's a good word.

01:26

It means one who suffers.

01:28

So I guess we're all patients.

01:31

Now, the American health care system

01:33

has more than its fair share of dysfunction --

01:37

to match its brilliance, to be sure.

01:39

I'm a physician now, a hospice and palliative medicine doc,

01:44

so I've seen care from both sides.

01:47

And believe me: almost everyone who goes into healthcare

01:50

really means well -- I mean, truly.

01:54

But we who work in it are also unwitting agents

01:58

for a system that too often does not serve.

02:03

Why?

02:05

Well, there's actually a pretty easy answer to that question,

02:09

and it explains a lot:

02:11

because healthcare was designed with diseases, not people, at its center.

02:18

Which is to say, of course, it was badly designed.

02:22

And nowhere are the effects of bad design more heartbreaking

02:28

or the opportunity for good design more compelling

02:31

than at the end of life,

02:33

where things are so distilled and concentrated.

02:38

There are no do-overs.

02:42

My purpose today is to reach out across disciplines

02:46

and invite design thinking into this big conversation.

02:51

That is, to bring intention and creativity

02:56

to the experience of dying.

03:01

We have a monumental opportunity in front of us,

03:05

before one of the few universal issues

03:09

as individuals as well as a civil society:

03:12

to rethink and redesign how it is we die.

03:19

So let's begin at the end.

03:23

For most people, the scariest thing about death isn't being dead,

03:27

it's dying, suffering.

03:29

It's a key distinction.

03:32

To get underneath this, it can be very helpful

03:34

to tease out suffering which is necessary as it is,

03:39

from suffering we can change.

03:42

The former is a natural, essential part of life, part of the deal,
