    Dr. Marty Makary | Blind Spots: Exposing Groupthink In The Medical Establishment

    What happens when medical groupthink trumps truth? From opioids to peanut allergies, the experts have gotten it wrong time and again—with devastating consequences for public health. Trust in the medical profession has plummeted, driven by decades of rigid conformity and mistaken recommendations. On The Kevin Roberts Show, Dr. Marty Makary, a surgeon and professor at Johns Hopkins, dives into the eye-opening revelations from his new book, Blind Spots. He exposes how medical groupthink, from the opioid crisis to misguided nutritional advice, has caused public harm—and what we can do to restore trust and integrity in healthcare. Dr. “Marty” Makary is a Johns Hopkins professor and NYT bestselling author. His newest book, BLIND SPOTS looks at the latest scientific research on topic that we are not talking about (that we need to talk about): ▶ The Microbiome ▶ Hormone Replacement Therapy ▶ The Peanut Allergy Epidemic ▶ Eggs (& Food) ▶ Blood tests not being ordered everyone needs ▶ Childbirth ▶ Cancer Prevention ▶ Marijuana ▶ The Culture of Medicine ▶ Medical Dogma Dr. Makary has been a visiting professor at over 25 medical schools, has published over 250 scientific peer-reviewed articles, and has written for the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, and the Washington Post. A public health researcher, Dr. Makary served in leadership at the World Health Organization and is a member of the National Academy of Medicine. Dr. Makary is the recipient of the 2020 Business Book of the Year Award for his book, The Price We Pay, about the grassroots movement to lower healthcare costs through greater medical transparency. He currently leads the Evidence-based Medicine Public Policy Research Group at Johns Hopkins and is director of The Re-design of Healthcare Project, a national effort to make health care more reliable and affordable, especially for vulnerable populations. His research focuses on the appropriateness of medical care, administrative waste, and the impact of health recommendations on society. Dr. Makary is the recipient of the Nobility in Science Award from the National Pancreas Foundation and numerous teaching awards. His newest book, Blind Spots, details how to live healthy by separating medical dogma from evidence-based science.
