It’s hard to stop thinking about every patient I've ever looked in the eye with absolute certainty - and lied to (unintentionally).

• Screenings I swore saved lives (but don't)

• Diseases I said couldn't be reversed (but can)

• Medications I promised were necessary (but aren't)

I carried that confidence because I trusted the research. The research I was taught. The research I cited. The research I never once thought to question.

Turns out 65-89% of published studies don't hold up when someone tries to repeat them.

Nobody taught me that in school. Nobody told my patients either.

I just wrote about what NIH is finally doing about it — and why it matters for every person who's ever been told "the science is clear" by someone (like me) who never checked.
