I can't Forget this, you taught this well! Thanks 👏

[@jao91587]

You are really good at teaching this stuff. I am actually interested in these concepts.

[@max40234]

Brief and to the point. Well explained theories. Thank you

[@ammareljack211]

Very interesting videos , I think sociology involved in everyday life practice between individuals

[@kunyadaanuwong4040]

[@dabuaqel]

Awesome video! Nice to see these theories connected to the field I want to pursue

[@matt234111]

Great video, thanks.

[@Shenieta]

Love it!

[@robdavies4294]

Great overview, thanks from England. For me this really helped conceptualise how the 6 main theories link to other sociological elements namely: access, equity, distributive justice, health inequalities, deviance, stigma, Dr patient relationship, function of medicine in society, medicalisation etc etc

people ive talked to about the mcat told me they saw terms they never learned in any of the prep....makes me nervous.

[@ricardomendoza9431]

Congratulations!!!!! very ludic and tight in the explanation. Greetings from Chile.

[@lourisgr]

Imo the term "crazy" should be absent from a medical education/popsci video, especially when referring to the people it is referring to. Interesting video nevertheless

[@yhwhspirit]

Very true especially in learning about patient and doctor behavior and medical ethics

I don't think that having a c-section is an example of medicalization or "illness manufacturing." High-risk pregnancies in which the mother or infants life is threatened by having a vaginal birth isn't the creation of an illness for the benefit of profit. The rate of maternal and infant death during delivery was phenomenally high in the past and it is because of advanced medical practices such as c- section that those rates have drastically fallen. I don't know what future consequences the mother or the child will have because of a c-section that this video is referring to. This is blatant stigmatization of a women's the choice not to deliver naturally in a video series centered around equality and discrimination.

[@shingiraimafoti2131]

the point is that nature should take its course..plus some are now recommending c sections where it is not necessary because it brings more money

This video was really helpful and informational for my classes but I think the topic of mental health during the symbolic interactionism was really insensitive.

[@andrewgonzales1359]

I love how feminist theory is mentioned.

The closed captions are incorrectly using the word "effect" to mean "affect". This should be corrected so that people see the proper English.

A Canadian MD explains how socialized medicine doesn’t work: I was once a believer in socialized medicine. As a Canadian, I had soaked up the belief that government-run health care was truly compassionate. What I knew about American health care was unappealing: high expenses and lots of uninsured people. My health care prejudices crumbled on the way to a medical school class. On a subzero Winnipeg morning in 1997, I cut across the hospital emergency room to shave a few minutes off my frigid commute. Swinging open the door, I stepped into a nightmare: the ER overflowed with elderly people on stretchers, waiting for admission. Some, it turned out, had waited five days. The air stank with sweat and urine. Right then, I began to reconsider everything that I thought I knew about Canadian health care. I soon discovered that the problems went well beyond overcrowded ERs. Patients had to wait for practically any diagnostic test or procedure, such as the man with persistent pain from a hernia operation whom we referred to a pain clinic - with a three-year wait list; or the woman with breast cancer who needed to wait four months for radiation therapy, when the standard of care was four weeks. America is right to seek a model for delivering good health care at good prices, but we should be looking not to Canada, but close to home - in the other four-fifths or so of our economy. From telecommunications to retail, deregulation and market competition have driven prices down and quality and productivity up. Health care is long overdue for the same prescription.

I'd like to make a recommendation to Khan Academy. Practicing physicians should be designing the content and ideally making these videos.

[@jacobhollidge59]

Practicing physicians should be designing the content of sociology videos? I feel like that would be a complete waste of their education.

[@weareallbornmad410]

I'm more inclined to say practicing physicians should be reached out to so that they watch these videos. Most doctors have near zero knowledge of social and cultural issues surrounding health and medicine, let alone social sciences attempts to research and improve them.
