16. Healthy Scepticism: Tales of Doubt, Dissent and Distrust in Medicine
Forum
Do we trust medicine too much… or not enough? Historian Caitjan Gainty invites you to explore the long and often uncomfortable history of questioning healthcare. From sceptical patients and dissenting doctors to modern debates around treatment, trust and ‘expert’ opinion, this thought-provoking talk uncovers why doubt has always been part of medicine, and why it still matters today. Blending powerful stories with sharp insight, Caitjan examines the grey areas between blind faith and outright rejection, revealing how medicine has been shaped as much by its critics as its champions. Engaging, challenging and refreshingly honest, this is a fascinating look at the human side of healthcare, and a chance to rethink what it really means to trust the systems designed to heal us.
