For everyone medicine has let down → UnCurableBook.com

From continuous fetal monitoring, which the American College of OB-GYNs has acknowledged produces worse outcomes yet persists because of medical-legal pressure, to yearly mammogram schedules that increase breast cancer risk by 25% over 20 years, Dr. Hartman walks through how liability and institutional inertia drive clinical decisions that harm the very patients they are meant to protect. He also covers pap smear frequency, C-section rates, and the gap between what the data has supported for years and what is actually practiced in most American hospitals. This episode is particularly relevant for any woman navigating reproductive healthcare, and for anyone supporting her.
This is Part 5 of 6. Part 4 covers Lyme disease and long COVID; Part 6 covers antibiotic overuse in children, refrigerator mom theory, and the opioid epidemic.
