Why do 80% of Americans seek medical care for backpain during their lives, compared to only 3% of Japanese? In this fascinating talk Turner Osler examines the sitting disease that afflicts the western world, and suggests a $5 solution for our kids so that they will not suffer the same fate. Turner Osler was an academic trauma surgeon (University of Vermont) for over 20 years with over 300 peer reviewed papers and book chapters. But then he went off script, got a masters in Biostatistics, an NIH grant and abandoned the operating room to study trauma epidemiology. Somewhere in the last decade he became obsessed with the problems that come from sitting too much. 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
