盲点:当医学出错时,它对我们的健康意味着什么

English | September 17th, 2024 | ISBN: 1639735313 | 288 pages | True EPUB | 2.27 MB

From Johns Hopkins medical expert Dr. Marty Makary, the New York Times-bestselling author of The Price We Pay-an eye-opening look at the medical groupthink that has led to public harm, and what you need to know about your health.

More Americans have peanut allergies today than at any point in history. Why? In 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a strict recommendation that parents avoid giving their children peanut products until they're three years old. Getting the science perfectly backward, triggering intolerance with lack of early exposure, the US now leads the world in peanut allergies-and this misinformation is still rearing its head today.

How could the experts have gotten it so wrong? Dr. Marty Makary asks, Could it be that many modern-day health crises have been caused by the hubris of the medical establishment? Experts said for decades that opioids were not addictive, igniting the opioid crisis. They refused menopausal women hormone replacement therapy, causing unnecessary suffering. They demonized natural fat in foods, driving Americans to processed carbohydrates as obesity rates soared. They told citizens that there are no downsides to antibiotics and prescribed them liberally, causing a drug-resistant bacteria crisis.

When modern medicine issues recommendations based on good scientific studies, it shines. Conversely, when modern medicine is interpreted through the harsh lens of opinion and edict, it can mold beliefs that harm patients and stunt research for decades. In Blind Spots, Dr. Makary explores the latest research on critical topics ranging from the microbiome to childbirth to nutrition and longevity and more, revealing the biggest blind spots of modern medicine and tackling the most urgent yet unsung issues in our $4.5 trillion health care ecosystem. The path to medical mishaps can be absurd, entertaining, and jaw-dropping-but the truth is essential to our health.

中文|2024年9月17日|ISBN:1639735313|288页|True EPUB | 2.27 MB来自约翰霍普金斯大学医学专家Marty Makary博士,《纽约时报》畅销书《我们付出的代价》的作者,他让我们大开眼界地看待了导致公众伤害的医疗团体,以及你需要了解的关于你的健康的事情。 今天,花生过敏的美国人比历史上任何时候都多。为什么?2000年,美国儿科学会发布了一项严格的建议,即父母在孩子三岁之前不要给他们吃花生制品。由于科学完全落后,引发了缺乏早期接触的不耐受,美国现在在花生过敏方面处于世界领先地位,这种错误信息至今仍在抬头。 专家们怎么会错得这么离谱?Marty Makary博士问道:难道许多现代健康危机都是由医疗机构的傲慢造成的吗?几十年来,专家们一直说阿片类药物不会上瘾,从而引发了阿片类危机。他们拒绝更年期妇女接受激素替代疗法,造成了不必要的痛苦。他们妖魔化了食物中的天然脂肪,随着肥胖率的飙升,促使美国人选择加工碳水化合物。他们告诉市民,抗生素没有坏处,并大量开药,导致耐药细菌危机。 当现代医学基于良好的科学研究提出建议时,它就会大放异彩。相反,当通过意见和法令的严厉视角来解释现代医学时,它可能会塑造伤害患者的信念,并阻碍数十年的研究。在《盲点》一书中,Makary博士探讨了从微生物组到分娩、营养和寿命等关键主题的最新研究,揭示了现代医学最大的盲点,并解决了我们4.5万亿美元医疗保健生态系统中最紧迫但最不为人知的问题。医疗事故的道路可能是荒谬的、有趣的、令人瞠目结舌的,但真相对我们的健康至关重要。
