A fascinating exploration into many of the commonly held medical misconceptions. Makary is a physician and he effectively highlights some of the biggest issues in medicine. He starts off with a deep dive into the peanut allergy crisis and how misguided studies created the problem in the United States. Each of the subsequent chapters are equally interesting and enlightening. The main point here is that dogma creates blind spots that create major health problems. His main argument is that questioning the science has been villainized at  the cost of providing effective care.
