Medicine doesn't usually fail patients because it lacks information. It fails because it becomes too certain too soon. In this episode, Dr. Hartman and Dr. Jensky walk through foundational cases where the medical system was confident, established, and wrong, and what that pattern means for patients navigating their care today.

From handwashing to ulcers to hormone therapy, each example in this episode follows the same arc: evidence shifted, but certainty held. Dr. Hartman uses these cases to draw a distinction most patients never encounter directly — "standard of care" reflects consensus, not necessarily current truth. If something in your own care has never quite added up, this episode is a grounded, evidence-based starting point for understanding why that gap exists.
