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

challenging informative medium-paced

2.5

I like the main point the author is trying to make and I enjoyed learning about some new topics, but he is often times hypocritical and could take his own advice. Some of the anecdotes he uses to prove his own point are from research studies that are  accepted as false or poorly done. The last few chapters were mostly unnecessary. While I’m all for learning about different viewpoints, this book is full of harmful contradictions so I can’t ultimately recommend it.
