Description: The Anatomy of Deception by Sara E. Gorman Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Veteran health writer Sara Gorman unveils the root of medical mistrust in America and offers actions for rebuilding faith in medicine as a way for healing the schisms of modern-day American democracy. Publisher Description Veteran health writer Sara Gorman compellingly argues that the backbone of medical conspiracy theories is not misinformation but lack of trust--in our hospitals and in our democracy writ large. 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 ofthose same individuals still profess trust in their doctors. What, then, is driving the general mistrust in medicine, and how can the publics faith be restored? The Anatomy of Deceptioninvestigates 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 theidea 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 systemover 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. Wide-ranging yet incisive, The Anatomy of Deception uncovers the root of medical mistrust in America and how we can regain trust in the systems and values central to our democracy.
