A Doctor's Cure for Medical Myths: 50 Teaspoons of Truth to Remedy Medical Misinformation - Paperback

by Dominic Gaziano (Author)

Being healthy is a choice. But people need facts, not fiction to make the right decisions. Unfortunately, medical myths abound and once an idea takes hold, it's tough to dislodge. The result can be deadly: patients refusing to take life-saving medicines, parents withholding vaccines from their children, heart attack victims misreading the signs.

What's the "cure" for medical misinformation? Facts! Cold... Hard... Facts. In A Doctor's Cure for Medical Myths, Dr. Dominic Gaziano, a primary care physician who practices in inner-city Chicago, debunks 50 of the most common medical myths by providing peer-reviewed research and well-documented facts that support the truth. He offers his "50 teaspoons of truth to remedy medical misinformation," so the next time you hear someone spout off a medical myth, you're armed with the truth.
