Do physicians only use technical sciences in their practice-or can they channel their creativity? Inspired by his job, Dr. Gene Rontal is a published medical murder mystery book author. In his TEDx talk he discusses how even the most technical jobs use creativity and how channeling imagination can lead to greater satisfaction in the workplace. Dr. Gene Rontal is an author and an Otorhinolaryngologist. After spending 3 years in college, 4 years in medical school, and 5 years in residency, he became a head and neck surgeon and began a teaching position in the Department of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery at Michigan. However, after doing a rotation in a prison system during his residency, he became fascinated in the stories he saw within medicine and eventually went on to write a murder mystery series loosely based on his experiences. He believes everyone has creativity in them and wants to share how exploring the creative side of himself has improved his practice as a physician. He hopes to encourage others to harness their own creativity which he believes can improve anyone's professional as well as personal life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
