Lyme Disease, Scalpels, and Jazz Hands | Thérèse Weidenkopf | TEDxVCU

After being diagnosed with Lyme disease, Thérèse Weidenkopf worried that she had lost her future to a debilitating diagnosis. It was during this time she found comfort through theater and the study of body language. Tess is now a first year medical student merging the lessons of biology and acting to inspire physicians, clinicians, and even patients during the path to healing. She uses this talk to unite two different spheres art and medicine into a blend that acts as a vessel to better understand vulnerability and connections between humans. Thérèse (Tess) Weidenkopf is currently a first-year medical student at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine. She graduated Summa Cum Laude from Roanoke College in 2022 with Honors in a Theatre Major and Biochemistry Major. She is deeply thankful for the physician who stood by her side during treatment, family, her theatre directors, and pre-med mentors who encouraged her in every light and dark moment she endured. She hopes this TEDx talk inspires all to take up a theatre class and begin to understand the complexities underlying all human stories. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
