Blending personal anecdotes with hard science, an accomplished physician, researcher, and science communicator gives you the tools to avoid medical misinformation and take control of your health: 'A brilliant step toward patients and physicians alike reclaiming a sense of confidence in a system that often feels overwhelming and mismanaged' (Gabby Bernstein, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Universe Has Your Back).We live in an age of medical miracles. Never in the history of humankind has so much talent and energy been harnessed to cure disease. So why does it feel like its getting harder to live our healthiest lives? Why does it seem like experts cant agree on anything, and why do our interactions with medical professionals feel less personal, less honest, and less impactful than ever?Through stories from his own practice and historical case studies, Dr. F. Perry Wilson, a physician and researcher from the Yale School of Medicine, explains how and why the doctorpatient relationship has eroded in recent years and illuminates how profitdriven companiesfrom big Pharma to healthcare corporationshave corrupted what should have been medicines golden age. By clarifying the realities of the medical field today, Dr. Wilson gives readers the tools they need to make informed decisions, from evaluating the validity of medical information online to helping caregivers advocate for their loved ones, in the doctors office and with the insurance company.Dr. Wilson wants readers to understand medicine and medical science the way he does: as an imperfect and often frustrating field, but still the best option for getting well. To restore trust between patients, doctors, medicine, and science, we need to be honest, we need to know how to spot misinformation, and we need to avoid letting skepticism ferment into cynicism. For it is only by redefining what good medicine isscience that is wellresearched, rational, safe, effective, and delivered with compassion, empathy, and trustthat the doctorpatient relationship can be truly healed.
