Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

According to a wry saying among radiologists, finding a tumour in a mammogram is like finding asnowball in a blizzard. Up to thirty percent of breast cancer diagnoses are given to those who have no cancer at all.Medicine is subject to far more uncertainty than we commonly acknowledge. While it is portrayed as science, it cansometimes be scarily close to educated guesswork.Covering everything from the efficacy of Prozac to the regularbarrage of health advice by the media, Snowball in a Blizzard is a profound meditation on why it's essential that doctors andtheir patients know what we don't know. The world is more complicated than we like to believe.Informed by years offrontline medical experience and filled with personal reflections, this important book is filled with counter-intuitive revelationsabout flawed reasoning, helpful guidance and hard-earned insight. It will change the way you view the health of yourself, yourloved ones or your patients.
