What is Public Health? Crash Course Public Health #1

[@xessenceofinsanityx]

It's good to see crash course covering this! It feels like I've spent the last two years fighting both individuals and organisations on the importance of prevention. Hopefully with a bit of a better understanding, people will realise we're actually trying to help. Now if only I could get the government to watch this...

[@sterliingsilver9592]

Aw man, I just finished my Public Health Nursing course! I could have totally used this. This series looks really interesting regardless!

[@mandalor45]

as a fellow healthcare worker, you will never stop learning throughout your career

[@JagroopM]

I will be finishing my public health nursing in two weeks

[@HeyitsHannahNguyen]

not me, a senior public health major, watching this video so i'm prepared when someone ask what is my degree for

[@indubitablyzara]

I'm so excited for this series as someone who works in public health translation and dissemination! Woot woot!

[@kainingyao7873]

Here's an interesting linguistic fact: did you know that the word "salute" comes from the Latin word that means "safety" or "good health"? A pretty fitting word to describe a formal greeting or expression of respect, since it means to pray for good health to whoever is being saluted. Variants of this word also appear in Romance languages for casually greeting others. The same Latin root also gave way to words like "salvage" and "salvation".

[@randomz5890]

That is very interesting. Thank you for informing me of this!

[@The10thManRules]

Public health are action words, like "I love you". It's not just stringing words together, it's a specific set of actions that proves, through deeds, what you say. The U.S. health care system says "I don't love you, I don't particularly care about you, but depending on your wealth, the quality of my service is directly commensurate with how much you can pay".

[@Kate09090]

I’ve dealt with the US healthcare system a lot more than I even like to think about (I have epilepsy). This rings true on so many levels to me.

[@keraatkins7833]

We can change that

[@The10thManRules]

@@keraatkins7833We can, but we wont.

[@Ellie-qq9zm]

Exactly

[@Aranlia]

As a public health professional and a longtime Crash Course subscriber, I'm really excited for this new series!

[@Baban-Laila]

Am a Student of public health at Daffodil international university, I enjoy this course. Thank you

[@aida087]

I took General Psych II and now currently taking Child Psych & Development and professor mostly uses Crash Course videos, really information❤️al🥰!!

[@EVEspinosa79]

I think it is telling than in the USA public health means "Promoting and protecting people's health", while, according to the UN's International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which was signed by the USA on Oct 5th 1977, health, as a human right is about ensuring the access and enjoyment of THE HIGHEST ATTAINABLE STANDARD OF HEALTH.

[@melanietimms9585]

Me, an Australian, being super shocked hearing an Australian accent on Crash Course hahah

[@themasquesaco]

My mothers life was saved 2 times by the public health system, and we spent no money. Obviously this is paid eith everyones taxes, but it's completely worth, everyone pays a bit, and any person can benefit of practically anything they need, even foreigners can have it for free if they're here. My family would NEVER be able to afford the amount of money it would have costed in a private hospital, and this is the reality for almost everyone in my country. My mother gets a ridiculously expensive medication for free too, and it makes her life quality a lot better. These people making others fear the taxes or anything just to keep paying TO LIVE is just a proof of how brainwashed people are by this sick system.

[@gctv0491]

This was so great!! At last! A Public Health series from Crash Course!! Definitely reliable reference for my students. Thank you!☺️

[@collapserelapse]

This course is very timely, I've recently gotten really interested in this subject and am seriously considering getting a master's degree in global public health starting next year, so the timing couldn't be better :) looking forward to this!!

[@markwoll]

My grandfather was a doctor who worked in a Public Health function for most of his career ( 1920's - 1960's ) . My father was a Commissioned Officer in the Public Health Service after working in state health departments. Milk and food safety was his area. I grew up with it as a mission. It pains me greatly to see the public turning against public health. It will cripple our nation if we don't reverse this.

[@jeannewynneherring]

Yay! So happy to see you on crash course, Vanessa!! I've always loved your videos and excited to see you on another one if my favorite channels!

[@xessenceofinsanityx]

11:08 someone should send this to the UK government, who just cut 60% of their public health workforce

[@themasquesaco]

Wow, that's bad

[@VashdaCrash]

@@themasquesaco Feels unreal, at least they could redirect the budget for prevention programs. Maybe they did that?

[@SuperAliceeeeeeeeeee]

Yup and have reduced our funding in general. My council has had to stop some useful services because we don’t have the money :(

[@drph.mugerwamoses3415]

thanks public health is the health system tht is gonna make our future brighter

[@TheGFeather]

It's great to see you on Crash Course Vanessa! I had no idea you were working on this project. Looking forward to more :)

[@lukamarinkovic5148]

Excited for this!!

[@Ahjusshi_Brown]

Not you guys starting a public health crash course series right before I start grad school for public health 😲

[@Kate-qh8sd]

Love love love y'all's videos. You should do a series on finances! It's so commonly misunderstood.

[@pandora8478]

This should be something on ‘why the US is the only developed country in the world without universal healthcare’.

[@garrettprice6507]

I start my MPH Monday, this crash course could not have come at a better time for me!!

[@alexsitaras6508]

I'm finishing up my MPH so I need to get around to taking my CPH soon. So hopefully this will be a good refresher.

[@nateweinand4209]

Vanessa is a great host! Looking forward to more of this series!

[@zunigaruth1978]

Great video! I look forward for more videos in this series.

[@Therealissa98]

Im glad there is a crash course for this subject i majored in public health!

[@skybluskyblueify]

Anti-corruption efforts and upgrading all schools to cover how health works could help to stem the paranoia that fights against any public health efforts.

[@VinegarPotato]

This is a great topic that has what feels like more importance after the start of the cv pandemic

[@matthewdockter2424]

Very cool. Keep 'em coming Vanessa and team!

[@Kit438]

So excited for this!!

[@Alexii18]

Today is my first day of my graduate public health course!!! Yay!!!

[@twinomujunisavias7322]

you real answered my doubts about the definition of Health . thank you

[@Student-gi4lb]

This course could change my mind if I would go for Nursing course. 🏥

[@kgp1958]

We will need to address resources needs; funding for humans, policy for authorities, PH in planning etc.

[@Azmodaeus49]

[@blackheartgaming6121]

Can't wait to start public health

[@jeffrey.brown1983]

I cannot wait to see your point of view on public health with a concentration in informatics

[@rocketRobScott]

Yes, all the Vanessa you got … we’ll take it.

[@Urspo]

I too am delighted to see VH taking on this topic 😊

[@ianreddish1878]

What a great show. I have to study public health for my Health Science undergraduate.

[@jmsl910]

excellent content

[@thesudaneseprince9675]

This seems pretty awesome!

[@Opotteq]

I miss the old crash course

[@Pragyanamprashant]

Wow 🤩🤩🤩 It was something out of the world,, thanks a lot mam 😄🌸🌺🌻🌹🌷🌼💐

[@janelle0619]

This is great, I was looking for something like this.

[@Ellie-qq9zm]

Aww I love Vanessa Hill!

[@abdihassanalifarmerdistric6336]

How can i promote for public health management

[@Daisy-bl4sw]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@thepeff]

It’s great that Public Health advocates for so many things that are apparently impossible to implement.

[@jameskelly3129]

I didn't get the community garden thing. Who's going to work/cultivate the garden?

Looking forward to this one!

[@twinomujunisavias7322]

ideally prevention and treatment cannot be separated, if to meet the exact the definition of Health as suggested by WHO, but why so that public health is not real sounding and implemented in most African countries ? would you love answer issue . thank you

[@fatimamousavi4906]

What an amazing host and subject, thanks crash course.

[@adeelakif814]

wonderful

Viva o SUS!

[@tahseenfatima9996]

Weird. 🤔 I am recently searching about public health 😬 Super weird but Thank you 😊❤️ I am a nursing student and interested in PHN

[@stax6092]

It'sfunny you should mention Community Gardens as Community Farming was actually very common for a Long time in the Medieval Era, However Royalty wanted control and basically all community Farms were forcibly seized. The example I know of this was by an English Queen iirc.

[@nailposh123]

Ayyyeee this is my major!!

[@lornamaser4144]

nice

[@stoic_ape134]

Said WHO established a def for health in 1946 but WHO wasnt established until 1948? Date typo?

[@BrianHutzellMusic]

07:04 Living forever might not be all it’s cracked up to be; think of the poor Struldbruggs in “Gulliver’s Travels,” who live forever but do not stop aging. Theirs is a miserable existence.

[@adambyte256]

That's a ridiculous strawman. Anyone who talks seriously about life extension will frequently mention that it has to go hand in hand with "health extension."

[@jose.montojah]

Now if we only cared about the truth or even life...

Soon come the comments praising "the system in Scandinavia," meanwhile us Scandinavians sitting in long waiting lists to get important procedures done.

[@jmsl910]

i guess the grass always seems greener, elsewhere

[@schonlingg.wunderbar2985]

Would you prefer a system where those lists are shorter, because people can't afford the treatment and therefore don't get on a list? I hope not.
