Do you follow medical advice “everyone just knows”— like avoiding gluten or using sunscreen? Are these beliefs really based in science, or are they the modern equivalent of old wives’ tales?
Kingston's own Dr. Michael Hefferon has long been fascinated by the intersection of myth and medicine. Over his long career as a pediatrician, Dr. Hefferon collected 33 "medical myths" into his book Of Plagues and Vampires: Believable Myths and Unbelievable Facts from Medical Practice. Now he's working on a follow-up volume. Come listen to Dr. Hefferon as he explains how much folk wisdom about health is actually true.
This event will be held at the Isabel Turner branch on Thursday, February 8, at 7pm. Admission is free, and everyone is welcome. No registration is required.
