A bit of medical history to distract from a hot day.
My article in @uk.theconversation.com tells a favourite story from BEYOND BELIEF: how a remarkable randomised trial showed conventional wisdom on bedrest was wrong and helped inspire evidence-based medicine.

How a bedbound patient and a 73-page study changed the way doctors make decisions.
My book BEYOND BELIEF is out today! It says: in a world flooded with questionable claims and misinformation, evidence from science can help show what’s nonsense – and what’s not.
In other words: "Essential reading for the rational-minded".
