The story is inspirational especially to students of public health. I will share it to my students. Thank you.
Love this... self accountability and change.
Systemic? So true, this video has inspired me as a CHW and my job in Public Health. My mission has always to be mindful in Health Education thru kindness. Thank you for such a Beautiful Video.
Thank you for posting this Johns Hopkins.
I believe healthcare miss the curve to change the system in the 80s when HMO/PPO came into play.
Healthcare is antiquated because we have allowed it to be. I can remember community healthcare mobile units. They a gave checkup, immunizations and followed up in community clinics.
The disconnect It how diet & exercise play key roles in healthcare.
When will we make the connection to slowly close the gap????
You're an inspiration to all. Wish more cam educate themselves like u. God bless u Michelle.🌸🌟🙏🌸🌟
So many have been taught magical thinking, and to ignore their reality. They spend a lifetime pretending that everything is ok.
That doctor's comment discussing why people don't invest in their health seemed extremely insensitive and ignorant, especially for someone working in Baltimore.
It is important to look at the context of that doctor’s question. I don’t believe it was insensitive or ignorant. There are many mitigating factors that contribute to these health disparities and why, objectively speaking, it seems that patients are not investing more into their own health. The doctor’s question was an inquiry of why this is happening. Like the young lady said in the beginning of the video, her daughter came back from college with a changed diet that was very different than what she grew up with, because in her own youth healthy eating was not a topic of conversation. That was just the reality. That is just one example of ways to answer the question of the doctor as to why people don’t invest more in their health. Not being judgmental, but rather an attempt to ask why this is happening to then get to work on how to fix it.
@@Yankeejumpman2352 Excellently articulated.
right! and then she goes on to take credit for her patient's own investment in her health 🙄
I have to take a major health change to ensure a safe environment for my family. No more liquor, bad food, weed, booze it’s over.
bravo Cleveland! So glad to hear that.
eye opening
In the UK we have a beautiful system called the National Health Service where medical treatment is completely free for everybody! I cannot believe that the wealthiest nation in the world cannot afford to provide this for their citizens. We all have to pay some extra tax but it works very well. I know you hate taxation in the USA due to your brutal form of capitalism but it would be tremendously beneficial to your society if you could implement a free point of care health system. It also makes sense in terms of GDP, and cuts down on healthcare inflation and removes the conflict of interest. I believe Obama was trying to make some progress with this.
Gaz Hazzler Healthcare is a privilege, not a right. You can’t blame anyone else for you not getting healthcare. You also can’t provide free healthcare, because that would add trillions. The solution is to make the government very small, so that way costs of medicine can be controlled by private corporations. Anything the government gets involved in, it becomes more expensive.
Touching and truth
thank you

invest in your health if money is an obstacle...stand in mindset, fight back with better choices...poor sector is eat or pay out of pocket for expensive heathier choices. Option is be anther statistic or be a better determinant as one disproportionately dealt with as excluded from the table of policies… a difference in someone's lifetime even not ones own...a liberated future...yes... amputees, heart disease,, victims of environment...etc.., voting matters but daily..being courageous and strong and push for training and better choices of high quality healthcare to communities of need...its not a poor people problem. Its a global community challenge. God bless us who succumb to the effects of choices and non choices to historical disproportionate factors,...thank you for your strength in the struggle!! you impact well. you got it right. rally the communities today...and tomorrow with videos like these. you impact the future...as long as we live. rest in peace...rest in faith… to all suffering under health disparity
Amazing health information. Wonderful video. Great job.
I can't imagine what it's like to live in a country where you have to worry about paying health bills. So glad we do it collectively through taxation and help each other collectively.
The insurance system is heartless and immoral.
i will remember this woman and this morgan freeman until i stop breathen
Considering John Hopkins history with African Americans, this little video is rich 🙄 I appreciate Auntie Michelle’s insightful perspective however, JH has a lot to do to make amends with their toxic past if they want to gain trust from the AA community. ALOT.
Hi! Could you elaborate a bit more on John Hopkins and their past healthcare inequality? I’m a bit curious
@@kylermonique617 Google Henrietta Lacks. Johns Hopkins used to be a segregated hospital that often treated Black people more poorly than whites. Henrietta was a Black woman who's cells contributed to soooo many vaccines and scientific innovations, and they took them from her without consent. Her family didn't even know that billions were being made as a result of her cells, and not a cent was given back to them,
@@kylermonique617 She had cancer, and they found out that her cancer cells could reproduce themselves endlessly in culture without dying, making them the first immortal human cells. They used her cells for cancer, cell, and genetics research. She died from a radium overdose while under their care.
@@mariamelendez7361 to say she died of radium "overdose" isn't exactly correct. The cause of her death was her cancer metastasizing to the rest of her body, leading to her urinary tract being blocked by tumors and her death due to her body being unable to remove toxins that would typically leave the body in urine. However, while the radium wasn't the direct cause of her death, it did most likely weaken her immune system enough that the cancer was able to spread.
2020 spring...social distancing will not allow shaking of hands...hopefully systemic solutions will arise. Peoples Health is the Countrys future hope...
LOVE THIS!
Great video
It's too bad most inner city black communities lack access to healthcare facilities, grocery stores, among many, many other things.
I feel like the health information is not accurate here.
This is nice
Universal healthcare now!
Vote for Bernie this 2020💯🔥👴🇺🇸
Estefane Fialloss Hell no
Facts!!!!
Glad I'm Canadian.
Anyone here for COM ?? جماعة الطب بالفيصل
Me !! Hahaha
Elijah Cummings being in this video doesn't help. He hollered, screamed and championed for all other groups but his own. Baltimore is his legacy and proof of that.
Invest in your health real talk.
Good luck with COM tomorrow if your’re watching this.. Alfaisal..
Don't peel the cuke.
Most of the nutrients are in the skin but sooo are most of the pesticides
My mom had not money....
YUH
There is nothing wrong with inequality of outcomes between identity groups
So sad to see this. People thinking it is diet choices- but it is social determinants of health by policies. This is bullshit. Patients do not invest because they cannot. Because of systemic racism. Healthcare systems are dangerous and violent institutions including John Hopkins. They are hyper capitalistic machinery where all forms of racism intersect- capitalism, policing,, bias, incarceration etc. This video is a poor way of explaining the real root causes of disparities. As a doctor who is heavily invested in fighting these systems this video makes me want to make video showing the true reality of these systems intersect .
chaand ohri fucking exactly
@@khristankyleg Completely agree. What is she having to give up to pay for her healthcare? What about people who do not have anything to give up? If someone does not have the resources to pay for their health care, are they to blame? This video shows everything wrong with the US health system. Yes, we want people to take responsibility for their care, but it seems that minority groups are being asked to give up so much more than those who have money and resources.
If you're really a doctor, what have you done to counter the effects of health disparities in our black communities?? What real causes have you fought against to help others?
You can thank Joe Biden for that
