Conspiracy theories are now mainstream, and distrust of government health agencies is common among private citizens. Yet many of those same individuals still profess trust in their doctors. What, then, is driving the general mistrust in medicine, and how can the public's faith be restored? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Anatomy of Deception\u003c\/em\u003e investigates the cause behind this seeming uptick in distrust by tracing the unexpected connection between medical mistrust and the move toward far right ideology in the United States. Drawing on personal qualitative research and interviews, health writer and expert Sara Gorman challenges traditional concepts of medical mistrust and argues that the loss of institutional trust in American health care signals a larger breakdown in democracy as a whole. In six short chapters, Gorman advances the idea of medical mistrust not as a byproduct of personal or historical abuses but as a direct result of bias, miscommunication, and lack of access that has slowly eroded trust in the public health system over time. She argues that we can build back trust in medicine through investments in health equity as a first step towards healing the schisms present in modern American society. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWide-ranging yet incisive, \u003cem\u003eThe Anatomy of Deception\u003c\/em\u003e uncovers the root of medical mistrust in America and how we can regain trust in the systems and values central to our democracy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSara Gorman, PhD, MPH\u003c\/strong\u003e, is a public health expert and author based in New York.
