My Prescription For Dealing With Change | Dr. Raymond Mis | TEDxProvidence

Dr. Mis tells his personal story of losing his hearing and sight at an early age, and his fight to continue doing what he loves - to practice medicine - with the help of technology. Dr. Raymond Mis is a board certified gastroenterologist with a practice in Rhode Island. He has taught medicine at the New England College of Osteopathic Medicine and has been chief of the gastroenterology department at Kent County Memorial Hospital in Warwick RI where he also practices. In 1998, Dr. Mis lost a significant amount of his hearing and in 2001 was declared legally blind. In 2002, with the help of new technology, he became the first visually impaired gastroenterologist to be accredited by the State of RI to perform procedures. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
