Gap years are fun but also I feel like after work I get caught in a cycle of Netflix- does anyone have a good medical, public health, or social justice related documentary to suggest? I really enjoyed A Place at the Table, How to Survive a Plague, and Remote Area Medical

🙂 thanks

Inside Pediatrics is a great series you can find on YouTube. Has gotten me really excited about peds rotations.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for, but I saw this posted a while back and enjoyed it. 30-minute video following a couple medical students at Loma Linda throughout their 4 years of school:

It's been a while, but I remember really enjoying Hopkins, Boston Med, and NY Med.

Also, not at all helpful, but Nurse Jackie has sucked me in.

On Amazon Prime:
The Illness and the Odyssey

For those of you in cold climates, it is a tropical vacation -- gone horribly wrong.

Not a documentary but a funny, and very jaded/cynical, view of long term care of the elderly: Getting On, available on HBO.

Dr. Jenna James kills me with her research studies and her sincerity about their importance.

Yes! NY Med is fantastic, and tragically short. There was a similar series done in the UK called "City Hospital" which ran for several hundred episodes, but I can't find it on Youtube or torrent sites.

I heard Freakonomics is a good documentary to watch on Netflix. I haven't watched it, but I've heard it's good. It's based on a popular book.

'After Tiller', a documentary about the challenges that abortion providers (and their patients) face, was recently added to Netflix

Is it the same concept as the Freakonomics weekly podcast? You should listen to that too.

EDIT: Yup, it's the same people (Levitt and Dubner) that wrote the book who also do the podcast.

I'm a huge podcast junkie <3 Freakonomics podcast is the best, though I haven't seen the doc!
