The Crisis of Trust in Medicine
Ep. 265 w/ show notes
Ravi sits down with Johns Hopkins medical expert Dr. Marty Makary for a conversation about his latest book, Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health. Together, they explore how long-held medical misconceptions have undermined public health, touching on everything from the real causes of the peanut allergy epidemic and overlooked vaccine risks to the ongoing impact of dramatic missteps in hormone replacement therapy. They then examine the ways our food system, corruption in health agencies, and media misinformation have fueled a growing crisis of trust in healthcare. Finally, Ravi and Marty turn to patient advocacy, the need to address the root causes of health challenges, and why there's bipartisan interest in improving the system.
