Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From cancer to the common cold, Google has replaced the family doctor in dispensing advice about treatment options, side effects, and more. Unfortunately, much of the online health information is produced by people who know nothing about medicine or who stand to profit politically or financially by spreading fear and distrust of medical science. Alarmed by the consequences of using the Web and the power of panic to steer patients away from proven treatments, health policy expert and journalist Robert Goldberg, PhD, offers the ultimate antidote to the rising epidemic of mythical medical risks. Separating the facts from the fearmongering, Dr. Goldberg draws on his years at the helm of key research projects in public policy, including serving as director of the Center for Medical Progress at the Manhattan Institute and as Vice President of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest. By uncovering the real stories behind the scary headlines about vaccines, Vioxx, and antidepressants, Tabloid Medicine shows us how to navigate the dangerous media messages about health we face every day. Putting medical wisdom back in the hands of scientists and physicians, Dr. Goldberg's findings cut through the sensationalism and give us the power to make healthcare decisions with information that can truly improve and save our lives.
