We are spending more on healthcare than ever before, yet our population is sicker than ever. The healthcare system is flawed, and the focus on true health seems misplaced within the traditional system. What’s at the root of this broken system and the advice being given to the public? Today’s guest is here to share his expertise on the healthcare system and highlight its Blind Spots.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Show, Dhru sits down with Dr. Marty Makary to discuss how decisions in healthcare are often made by a small, centralized group based on dogma rather than actual scientific evidence. Dr. Makary explains how this groupthink mentality has led to a reluctance to consider alternative opinions and a fear among physicians of being labeled if they criticize these decisions. He provides examples of how such decisions have resulted in poor outcomes and eroded public trust. Dr. Makary emphasizes that humility and a willingness to learn beyond what was taught in medical school are crucial for focusing on science and providing the best guidance for patients.

Dr. Marty Makary is a renowned surgeon, professor, and author recognized for his contributions to public health, healthcare innovation, and patient safety. He serves as a professor of Surgery and Health Policy at Johns Hopkins University, where he has led initiatives to improve the quality of healthcare delivery. He is known for his research and advocacy on issues such as medical transparency, over-treatment, and the use of video technology to improve patient care. His newest book, Blind Spots: When Medicine Gets It Wrong, and What It Means for Our Health, is set to release September 17th.
