Podcast - From Sewers to Stethoscopes

Description

This video is the first in my new series “Healers to Healthkeepers.” It explores the history and path dependency that led America from building public health infrastructure to holding doctors accountable, & blaming them for the health of the population.

This podcast looks at how America transitioned from building public health infrastructure to relying on individual treatment to improve health outcomes.
