According to a wry saying among radiologists, finding a tumour in a
mammogram is like finding a snowball 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 a science, it can
sometimes be scarily close to educated guesswork. Covering
everything from the efficacy of Prozac to the regular barrage of
health advice by the media, Snowball in a Blizzard is a profound
meditation on why it's essential that doctors and their patients
know what we don't know. The world is more complicated than we like
to believe. Informed by years of frontline medical experience and
filled with personal reflections, this important book is filled
with counter-intuitive revelations about flawed reasoning, helpful
guidance and hard-earned insight. It will change the way you view
the health of yourself, your loved ones or your patients.
