Public Health, Things That Are

(asking Ash about her new job at a military hospital)

Moi: Do you teach your patients about firearm safety... while they are sleeping?  (obviously referring to the  public health classic While We Were Sleeping)

Ash: Why would they be sleeping during their pap smears?

Moi: Because that's when public health happens.

Ash: How could I forget?  (obviously remembering the public health classic While We Were Sleeping) Public health is like Inception.

It is indeed.  Affordable quality care.  Clean drinking waters.  Safe environments.  It is the stuff dreams are made of.
