Author of “Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong and What it Means For Our Health”
 

Johns Hopkins medical expert Dr. Marty Makary presents an eye-opening look at the medical groupthink that has led to public harm. Dr. Makary asks, “Have many modern-day health crises been caused by the hubris of the medical establishment?” Experts said for decades that opioids were not addictive, igniting the opioid crisis. They refused menopausal women hormone replacement therapy, causing unnecessary suffering. They demonized natural fat in foods, driving Americans to processed carbohydrates as obesity rates soared.  In “Blind Spots,” Dr. Makary explores the latest research on critical topics, revealing the biggest blind spots of modern medicine.
