“HYPE: A Doctor’s Guide to Medical Myths, Exaggerated Claims and Bad Advice”
The Friends of the Palisades Library is pleased to present Palisadian Nina Shapiro, M.D., who will discuss her new book, “HYPE: A Doctor’s Guide to Medical Myths, Exaggerated Claims and Bad Advice----How to Tell What’s Real and What’s Not.” In this time of information overload, Shapiro, a surgeon and professor at UCLA, uses evidence-based knowledge to dispel many popular health misconceptions. The book also teaches the reader how to evaluate the various, often conflicting, medical studies which are reported in the media, and how to separate fact from fiction so that we can make informed health and medical choices. Admission is free.
