Hardly anyone is happy with American health care these days. Patients are getting sicker and going bankrupt from medical bills. Doctors are burning out and making dangerous mistakes. Both parties blame our nation’s outdated and dysfunctional health care system. But that’s only part of the problem. In this important and timely book, Dr. Robert Pearl shines a light on the unseen and often toxic culture of medicine.

The biggest problem in American health care is us. Do you know how to tell good health care from bad health care? Guess again. As patients, we wrongly assume the "best" care is dependent mainly on the newest medications, the most complex treatments, and the smartest doctors. But Americans look for health-care solutions in the wrong places. For example, hundreds of thousands of lives could be saved each year if doctors reduced common errors and maximized preventive medicine.

For three years, all eyes (and ears) were turned toward Covid-19. And for three years, Dr. Robert Pearl and Jeremy Corr cut through the fearmongering and misinformation to bring listeners the truth about the coronavirus—with informed commentary, helpful context and reporting from only the most credible sources. Now, the duo is hunting for the truth about the U.S. medical system in their new show “Medicine: The Truth.” Together, they’ll follow the facts, call out the lies, and help listeners understand what’s holding back our nation’s health.
