Blind spots : when medicine gets it wrong, and what it means for our health
(Large Print)
Description
"When modern medicine issues recommendations based on good scientific studies, it shines. When it is interpreted through the lens of opinion and edict, it can mold beliefs that harm patients and stunt research. In Blind Spots, Dr. Makary explores the latest research on topics ranging from the microbiome to childbirth to nutrition and longevity, revealing the biggest blind spots of modern medicine and tackling the most issues in our health care ecosystem. The path to medical mishaps can be absurd, entertaining, and jaw-dropping--but the truth is essential to our health"--
