Blind Spots: a book review about healthcare quality
This book review highlights Dr. Marty Makary’s exploration of how groupthink, tradition, and flawed assumptions have led medicine astray despite its many advances. Reflecting on the COVID-19 pandemic and broader medical history, the review praises Makary’s call for humility, open inquiry, and a renewed commitment to truth. Rather than discrediting medicine, the book challenges physicians to confront dogma and pursue evidence-based reform with integrity and courage.
