Is medicine today like the catholic church in 1633‪?‬ Intellectual Medicine

In medicine developing a
"consensus" is nothing more than a majority agreeing with the same
approach. Consensus, even in the absence of strong evidence, can turn into a
dogma that defies modification by reason. In this episode we reflect on some of
the dogmas, and how they can affect your healthcare freedom and your
opportunity for truly honest informed consent. Fear of hormones, belief in the
virtue of mammograms, the overuse of imaging studies all have elements of dogma
that propel their use far beyond what reason would otherwise indicate. If
you're prepared, you have a better chance to direct your own healthcare and
defy the coercion of dogma.
