Some doctors say that there is a “purge” underway in the world of American medicine: question the current orthodoxy and you will be pushed out.    “People Are Afraid to Speak Honestly” They meet once a month on Zoom: a dozen doctors from around the country with distinguished careers in different specialities. They vary in... Continue Reading

This is my fifth post in a series on positive cultural trends….
