Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health by Marty Makary

5.0

I liked this book because it talked about how slow the medical field is to accept new science even when it clearly contradicts the old way they've been doing things. He talks about everything from hormone therapy to breast implants and just the way that we have things set in our minds and how that actually harms patients. The peanut allergy drama where parents didn't feed their kids peanuts and actually made it worse I think it's a great example that he uses.
