Get a peek at the 6 best TEDMED 2013 talks (video)

TEDMED 2013 wraps up today. When it was at its best, TEDMED included a series of gut-wrenching patient stories, blunt challenges to the orthodoxy of the profit margins of non-profit hospitals, and discussions on how medicine looks at patients and itself.

It was very much a 2.0 version of last year’s TEDMED (2012 was owner Jay Walker’s first try at his vision of a Davos of Healthcare in the nation’s capital). This year has a different feel. "The Hive," which is the organization’s vendor and expo area, is peppered with early-stage startup companies along with some of healthcare’s biggest players. On stage, there was everything from the weird – health guru Richard Simmons wins that description in spades – to the aggressive: athenahealth CEO Jonathan Bush gave the conference a new dimension by challenging many in healthcare (even some of his customers).
