Curable book cover
Curable
How an Unlikely Group of Radical Innovators is Trying to Transform our Health Care System
Travis Christofferson - 2019-10-03
Goodreads Rating
"Curable" by Travis Christofferson is a fascinating investigation into the root causes of the US healthcare crisis. Through the lens of psychology, the author argues that our irrational thought patterns and systemic flaws have created a broken system. Christofferson presents a "moneyball approach to medicine," connecting revolutionary baseball analytics, Nobel Prize-winning psychological research, and cutting-edge treatments to present a fixable solution. "Curable" challenges readers to overhaul the current system by reframing the conflict between intuition and statistics, and creating better support systems for overwhelmed doctors. A must-read for those passionate about improving the future of medicine.
