Balanced Writing Leads to Revealing Controversies
The speaker admires a scientist's writing style for presenting discussions with a balance by stating various perspectives. The concerns in the medical field include some clinicians forgoing assessments due to strong beliefs, resource limitations causing delays in assessments, and clinics facing chaos. A book called 'Time to Think' by journalist Hannah Barnes elucidates these controversies and is recommended for those seeking detailed insights. The book highlights weak evidence in youth gender medicine treatments, urging a shutdown of puberty blockers for minors in England outside of research settings. Additionally, a lack of data production in clinics is criticized, despite a long duration of treatments.
