  The Anatomy of Deception -...

  In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, trust in the healthcare system seems to be at an all-time low. Conspiracy theories are now mainstream, and distrust of government health agencies is common among private citizens. Yet many of those same individuals still profess trust in their doctors. What, then, is driving the general mistrust in medicine, and how can the public's faith be restored? 
   
   
   
  The Anatomy of Deception investigates the cause behind this seeming uptick in distrust by tracing the unexpected connection between medical mistrust and the move toward far right ideology in the United States. Drawing on personal qualitative research and interviews, health writer and expert Sara Gorman challenges traditional concepts of medical mistrust and argues that the loss of institutional trust in American health care signals a larger breakdown in democracy as a whole. In six short chapters, Gorman advances the idea of medical mistrust not as a byproduct of personal or historical abuses but as a direct result of bias, miscommunication, and lack of access that has slowly eroded trust in the public health system over time. She argues that we can build back trust in medicine through investments in health equity as a first step towards healing the schisms present in modern American society.

  "The Sceptical Chymist" is a book written by Robert Boyle, a renowned 17th-century natural philosopher, in 1661. In this book, Boyle challenges the conventional beliefs about chemistry and the nature of matter that were prevalent during his time. 
  Boyle argues that the traditional theories of alchemy and Aristotelian philosophy are flawed and insufficient in explaining the nature of matter. He proposes a new approach to chemistry that emphasizes empirical observation, experimentation, and the use of the scientific method. Boyle's work laid the foundation for modern chemistry by introducing the concept of elements and the notion that chemical reactions occur due to the rearrangement of atoms. 
  Moreover, "The Sceptical Chymist" also contains philosophical arguments about the nature of science and the role of experimentation in scientific inquiry. Boyle critiques the prevailing notion that science should be based solely on deductive reasoning and argues that empirical evidence should be given greater weight in scientific investigations. 
  Overall, "The Sceptical Chymist" is a landmark work in the history of science, as it helped to establish chemistry as a scientific discipline and paved the way for the development of modern scientific methods

  Americans knew polio as the "summer plague." In countries further North, however, the virus arrived later in the year. It was described by one writer as "the autumn ghost." 
   
   
   
  Intensive care units and mechanical ventilation are the crucial foundation of modern medical care: without them, the appalling death toll of the COVID-19 pandemic would be even higher. In The Autumn Ghost, Dr. Hannah Wunsch traces the origins of these two innovations back to a polio epidemic in the autumn of 1952. Drawing together testimony from doctors, nurses, medical students, and patients, Wunsch relates a gripping tale of an epidemic that changed the world. 
   
   
   
  Wunsch tells the true story of how insiders and iconoclasts came together in one overwhelmed hospital in Copenhagen to save the lives of many polio patients dying of respiratory failure. Their radical advances in care marked a turning point in the treatment of patients around the world—from the rise of life support and the creation of intensive care units to the evolution of rehabilitation medicine. 
   
   
   
  The Autumn Ghost will leave listeners in awe of the courage of those who battled the polio epidemic, and grateful for the modern medical care they pioneered.
