Public Health Stuff

I am learning a lot in my Public Health classes. Here is a great video about diabetes in Native American populations. I was interested to hear about the most likely cause of the diabetes epidemic in this population (the dam upstream of the Gila River), which changed the lifestyle from a more self sufficient farming community to a community more dependent on the government and western diet.

This is from a documentary called "Unnatural Causes" that aired on PBS last year. You can see more video clips at http://www.unnaturalcauses.org/video_clips.php?

I should know in a few weeks if I passed the Utah Reciprocity Exam for Paramedic. I'll keep you guys posted.
