Lessons from surgery and Grey's Anatomy | Dr. Scott Ellner | TEDxMountainAve

In this inspiring TEDx talk, Dr. Scott Ellner shares how an unintentional surgical error became the catalyst for discovering “antifragility,” a concept that goes beyond resilience entirely. By contrasting real-life experiences with episodes from the popular medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, Dr. Ellner illustrates how embracing chaos, creating feedback loops, and fostering a growth culture can transform adversity into an opportunity for deeper growth and transformation. He recounts the touching story of a patient and her devoted husband, who offered not just forgiveness but understanding and empathy after a surgical complication. This moment demonstrates how open dialogue and compassionate support can spark breakthroughs in patient care, teamwork, and personal strength.
