Harry Baker: The power of self-acceptance

Poets and doctors both save lives, just in different ways. World-champion slam poet Harry Baker shares the heartache of forfeiting the path of medicine for a self-guided career in poetry and writing. This talk is an ode to choosing to be different, woven through two poems that sing with universal truth. While he won't help the world by becoming a doctor, as he puts it, poetry is just "a less quantifiable way of saving lives."
