‘Blind Spots’ by Dr. Marty Makary: Book Review – Fake Medical Science Explained
Dr. Marty Makary is the famous Johns Hopkins surgeon, researcher and best-selling author. His newest book ‘Blink Spots’ is a brave summary of medical dogma or what could also be called Fake Medical Science.
Dr. Makary gives many examples of where 1) medical recommendations were not based in science (e.g. avoiding peanuts in children less than 3 years old), 2) study results that were presented as true when in fact they were insignificant (e.g. hormone replacement therapy increases the risk of breast cancer) and 3) study results were suppressed because the researchers did not like the results (e.g. dietary cholesterol and heart disease)
Dr. Makary also gives solutions to Fake Science ranging from applying the Court System… to doctors having the humility to inform patients when decisions are based on educated guesses rather than scientific evidence.
Medical recommendations not based in science, but rather masquerading as science are hugely problematic blind spots in healthcare. Dr. Makary has done us all a great service by pointing out these blind spots.
