A guest speaker in my health policy class mentioned that Katrina had enabled public health officials to learn a great deal about how to respond to natural disasters. Thanks to the Ladder, I knew to raise the point that people in New Orleans didn't think of Katrina as a natural disaster. He took the point immediately and made the point that infrastructure safety and wetlands health can and should be thought of as part and parcel of the public health system.
Thanks K!
Indeed, it is the failure of Federal Infrastructure, and subsequent Flooding of the entire city, that convinced me that Public Health depends DIRECTLY on solid Infrastructure.
Another example could be Inter-city Interstates, wherein Public Health declined drastically, consistently, anytime an Interstate was run through the heart of a city.
You can even see this on Satellite photos, in the same way a Pathologists would count cancer cells on a blood-sample slide.
I believe not that it isn't just Failure of Infrastructure but as important How and Where it is built.
Typo correction:
I believe noW that it isn't just Failure of Infrastructure but as important How and Where it is built.
Even though I overused the word "point" already, you make another good point. I'm learning that one of the problems with the overall U.S. approach to health care is that it is individual-centric as opposed to population-centric. Considered from the perspective of allows us to think about health care in a different light and -- if you ask me -- with more imagination.
