Why don't doctors listen to women? Medical gaslighting refers to instances when physicians dismiss, ignore, or undermine the complains and symptoms of patients. While it could happen to any patient, historically women were the primary group affected by this phenomenon. From the lack of investment in women's reproductive health to the residual effect of "hysteria" as a diagnosis, women often face instances when they were told there is nothing wrong with them despite how they are feeling. Public health is the health of everyone. Any systemic issue half of the human population face deserves attention. Special thanks to all the women I interviewed for this episode. Unfortunately, I couldn't include all the interviews. I hope I did your story justice. -o-Sound and Music Credit: "Bleeping Demo" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/"Screen Saver" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/-o-Twitter: https://twitter.com/EverythingisPHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth  Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com       Support the show

"There's a reason you don't see factories in Beverly Hills." Highways are not great. They are load, they are heat traps, they take up a lot of space, and living near one negatively impacts your health. Where we placed these huge highways were not done equitably. Discriminatory policies and infrastructure meant these highways targeted certain neighborhoods to destroy. A podcast about public health must discuss racism, because racism is a public health issue. Baltimore's Road to Nowhere: https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/feb/21/roads-nowhere-infrastructure-american-inequality-o-Twitter: https://twitter.com/EverythingisPHPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/everythingispublichealth  Email: EverythingIsPublicHealth@gmail.com     Support the show

What is the Swiss Cheese Model and what does it have to do with safety and public health? This is a more conceptual episode in which we discuss a big picture concept that improves the structure of a system to be less error prone and more robust. You can find elements of this model in patient safety, security, and tech. The answer is many layers of the metaphorical Swiss cheese.
