While doctors take an oath to do no harm, there's a good chance their unconscious biases can seep into how seriously they take your pain.

Physician Sheetal DeCaria explains how perception impacts medical care and treatment - and calls for health care professionals to check in with how they do their patient checkups.

This talk was presented at an official TED conference.

Sheetal DeCaria MD is double-board certified in anesthesia and pain management by the American Board of Anesthesiology.
