Lidia Molinara’s TEDx talk teaches viewers “How to ACE their own health care journey through advocacy, communication, and education.”
Molinara is on a mission to bring awareness to the significant risks of widely spread medications that are often taken without much thought, because “medication-related events rank as the fourth leading cause of death, surpassing diabetes, AIDS, pneumonia, and even automobile accidents,” says Lidia Molinara, citing a study published by the FDA (Food & Drug Administration in the United States).
“What’s more tragic is that many of these incidents are entirely preventable,” Molinara adds, which she demonstrates in her both inspiring and informative TEDx talk.
Her short talk (at just over 16 minutes), has received wonderful praise from YouTube viewers:
“This information is life-saving. Everyone needs to know about ACE. Thank you for spreading awareness!”
“Thank you so much for this compassionate and eye-opening talk! I love how there is no blame placed, just education and empowerment to take responsibility for one's own health.”
“I definitely had a false perception of “safety” when it came to getting a prescription and picking up that prescription… This was a very eye-opening watch for me!”
“Incredible information necessary for each person navigating and advocating for their or their loved ones’ health!”
In her “3 Steps for Medication Safety” TEDx talk, Lidia Molinara reveals three simple yet crucial guidelines to shield yourself and your loved ones from harm while maximizing the benefits of medication.
Molinara believes that “By equipping yourself with these skills, you can navigate medication safety effectively, transforming it from a routine task into a life-saving skill for everyone.”
