  • Overview

    Un ejercicio de autocrítica que cuestiona la medicina como dogma y que pone el foco en los ángulos muertos de la ciencia.

    ¿Puede que la crisis de la medicina moderna tenga su origen en la desmesurada arrogancia que impregna el sistema sanitario? El reputado médico Marty Makary analiza los estudios más recientes para exponer las profundas carencias existentes en la ciencia médica: desde la encendida revolución de los opioides recomendados por los expertos a lo largo de décadas, hasta la criminalización de las grasas naturales de la comida disparando el incremento de obesidad, pasando por la prescripción de antibióticos en masa, que dio lugar a una creciente resistencia bacteriana por parte de la población.

    Cuando la práctica médica se rige por interpretaciones fundamentadas en la opinión propia y no por la evidencia científica, esta puede llegar a moldear creencias que perjudiquen a innumerables pacientes y, además, a reabrir investigaciones que durarán decenios. En este libro, el Dr. Makary revela las lagunas de la medicina moderna y aborda urgentes problemas que siguen siendo ignorados en nuestra infraestructura sanitaria. El camino hacia la verdad en la medicina puede ser absurdo, entretenido y asombroso, pero la verdad es esencial para garantizar nuestra salud y bienestar.

    ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

    A self-critical examination that challenges medicine as dogma and shines a light on science’s blind spots.

    Could the crisis in modern medicine stem from the overwhelming arrogance embedded in the healthcare system? Renowned physician Marty Makary analyzes the latest studies to expose the deep flaws in medical science: from the fiery rise of opioids promoted by experts for decades, to the demonization of natural fats in food that fueled the obesity epidemic, and the mass prescription of antibiotics that led to growing bacterial resistance.

    When medical practice is guided by personal interpretation rather than scientific evidence, it can shape beliefs that harm countless patients and reopen research paths that span decades. In this book, Dr. Makary reveals the gaps in modern medicine and tackles urgent issues that continue to be ignored in our healthcare infrastructure. The journey toward truth in medicine may be absurd, entertaining, and astonishing—but truth is essential to ensure our health and well-being.

    The Price We Pay is the original English title of this work.
