Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means 2024 by Marty Makary

Description: Review“Timely and highly readable, Blind Spots gives us a much-needed diagnosis of what ails so much of our medical establishment and what can be done about it. Aided by an acute understanding of human nature, Dr. Makary both walks us through a disturbing number of major public health blunders-experts told us for decades that opioids were not addictive, for instance-and how we can instead get refocused on pursuing and following through on sound scientific studies and not fall into the trap of wrongheaded groupthink.” ―Steve Forbes, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of Forbes Media.“Smart, motivated people are prone to developing blind spots. It's true in business, politics, and science, but there's a remedy Dr. Makary argues. Blind Spots is a deep dive into our human tendency to resist new ideas, and a guide to impeccable objectivity. Along the way, you'll learn about powerful medical research that is challenging conventional medical thinking and revolutionizing our understanding of health.” ―Scott Smith, CEO of TRUE Network“A renowned medical expert and leading voice in the medical community, Dr. Makary takes a fresh look at health, delving into research that is raising questions about big assumptions in the culture of medicine. Blind Spots is a call to action with lessons for every American about the art and science of being open-minded-a critical skill in science and life in general. As we enter a new era in medicine and society at large, everyone should have this book on their shelves.” ―Kavita Patel MD, Stanford professor, NBC correspondent, and former Obama health care advisor“This book serves as a wake-up call… an essential read for anyone looking to understand the pitfalls of modern medicine and the path to a more effective and compassionate approach to healthcare.” ―Peter Attia MD, Author of OUTLIVE“Dr. Makary has out-done himself-Blind Spots is his best book yet!” ―Robert Pearl MD, Stanford Professor and former CEO of Kaiser Permanente“A amazing biography of modern medicine and a practical education about health.” ―Steve Messeh, Executive Director, Hope Multiplied ABOUT THIS ITEM
