    I teach "the history of medicine and epidemic disease" to G12 students in Nanjing China. It's prep for university. I use as course texts "the burdens of disease" by Hays and "A very short introduction to the history of medicine" by Bynum.

    Sorry I missed the live podcast, but I have "The Great Influenza" as well! Really great book. The way you crafted your videos remind me of the same feeling while reading this book. Kudos!

    The prep school doesn’t utilize your talents for biology or kinesiology? Goodness. You must be a jack of all trades!

    One book I read (and wish would be updated) is The Coming Plague: Newly Emerging Diseases in a World Out of Balance by Laurie Garrett

    I like doing bingo on these videos… I have three books I own, Stiff, The Ghost Map and The Great influenza. And I was about to open my mouth to recommend Caitlin Doughty three seconds before you namechecked her. She’s awesome.
    One book that I think you would really love is Night Falls Fast by Kay Redfield Jamieson. It is about suicide but very heavily on the social context. And it is amazingly written.
    I actually owned a copy of Gray’s Anatomy, and my that was an expensive book.

      Love Caitlin's work! Her death documentaries are the quality of video that I aim for

      I think she might be single - that would be a good pair- mother knows death podcast is killer ​@@PatKellyTeaches um, I think sailor was making a point about social stigma of the time, and the Chinese people of that time, and the current social stigma of the drug fueled nightmare that happens in that area today. Specifically for epidemiology; I wonder how needles figure into those statistics.
      Do you get your nails done? 46:15 you should call Caitlin 😊

    Would you consider adding your other channels to the TH-cam Channels area? As well as any channels you partner with or recommend?

    It's great to hear about some great medical history books. You might like to read "The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks" by Rebecca Skloot about the origin of the HeLa cell line.

    An interesting book you should read is "Suffer the children: The story of Thalidomide." It is a bit old now but it is like a detective story. How the farmacuticals refused to get the blame. Be carefull if you search for this book because there are several other books by the same name but are thrillers. Write the whole title.

    This is great, medical history is one of my favourite topics. Though not a book, "Two Hundred Years of Surgery" is a Chinese TV documentary series that showcases the history of surgery, from witch doctors to the modern day and into the future. It's just eight episodes, and there's an English dub.

    Life is hard. If I wasn't smack dab deep in a move (everything boxed) I'd offer an excellent title & author name for a book printed in 1930's era, telling the history of 'Barberings' evolution into 'Doctoring' and all the attendent idiocy of the profession, down through the ages to his own time along with some predictions of what would come - relevant to our recent 'panic-demic' time. It's a treasure to read & a good collectors piece. Will update this message with details a month or so from now, if anyone reads this and is interested . . .

    The great influenza and the ghost map are long time favorites of mine. I've read them more than once. Like you have tried more than once to finish great maladies and it just doesn't do it for me for some reason.

    I'm so surprised every time you say you've not read The emperors of all maladies because your videos sound just like that book.

    This video, not watched 'live' mind, point blank and altogether refuses to play smoothly. I checked other TH-cam videos, and they are all fine. What in the world is going on with this video!

    A recent subscriber, i think a video on the Vagina Obscura, would be fantastic, there is prodigious lay ignorance about the female (reproductive) body. And, if i may, i think you could afford to speak slower, you have great information and research to impart.
