Buffer, I just finished reading this book while on vacation, after learning about it here. GO READ IT! It’s a page-turner, well researched, and worth the read. And my family has already had many lively dinner conversations about it.

I have to say that I treat my physicians as “experts”, even though I realize it’s impossible for one human being to have comprehensive expertise in so many possible facts. I cannot even imagine asking for a second opinion, for example. But at my age, I’ve been raised with this “DOCTOR AS GOD” premise. So this is an interesting and disturbing article for me to ponder. Thank you for this provocative topic!

Couldn’t agree more. We believe what we get from these “experts” with their clever news headlines or slick ‘miracle product’ ads. As I read in one of your posts here a while back, “For every PHD there is an equal and opposite PHD!” Who to trust? Thx for reminding us to be cautiously skeptical of just about everybody and not to be so gullible or intimidated by “experts”.
