An extensive and comprehensive study of the past, present and future of evidence-based medicine.
How did magical medicine work and why were the sick ordered to go to the executions of criminals? What diseases, according to mystical doctors, did lily of the valley, wild cucumber and bear hair help? What was Hippocrates right and wrong about? Why, in the 19th century, childbirth on the street was less likely to end in childbirth fever than childbirth surrounded by doctors in a hospital? What are clinical trials and how are they carried out? Who are biohackers and how do modern specialists search for the elixir of immortality? How are patients selected for trials, and why does this often lead to errors? What is evidence-based medicine and how is it different from alternative medicine? What are the main arguments and slogans of the latter’s supporters and why are they fundamentally wrong? How does real medicine differ from quackery and magical practices? The audiobook by Peter Talantov contains all the comprehensive information about how evidence-based medicine was born, what state it is in now, and what its future is.
