Makary, Marty
Blind spots : when medicine gets it wrong, and what it means for our health When medicine gets it wrong, and what it means for our health Marty Makary, MD. - New York Bloomsbury Publishing 2024 - xvii, 265 pages illustrations, maps, charts ; 25 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 227-265).
The Salem peanut trial : how experts created an epidemic -- OMG HRT : the untold story of hormone replacement therapy -- "No downsides to antibiotics" : except carpet-bombing the microbiome -- My Uncle Sam loves eggs : the truth about cholesterol -- True believers : why we resist new ideas -- Bad blood : how the medical establishment actually works -- A warm welcome : rethinking how we bring babies into the world -- Challenging certainty : the true origin of ovarian cancer -- Silicone valley : breast implants, autoimmune diseases, and the opioid crisis -- A comedy of errors : a short history of medical group think -- A culture of obedience : the battle for civil discourse -- Imagine : what else are we getting wrong?
When modern medicine issues recommendations based on good scientific studies, it shines. Conversely, when modern medicine is interpreted through the harsh lens of opinion and edict, it can mold beliefs that harm patients and stunt research for decades. In Blind Spots, Dr. Makary explores the latest research on critical topics ranging from the microbiome to childbirth to nutrition and longevity and more, revealing the biggest blind spots of modern medicine and tackling the most urgent yet unsung issues in our $4.5 trillion health care ecosystem. The path to medical mishaps can be absurd, entertaining, and jaw-dropping--but the truth is essential to our health.
