Margaret McCartney

    Margaret McCartney es una médica de cabecera con un fuerte interés en la evidencia, la profesionalidad, el cribado y el riesgo. Comenzó a escribir para la prensa tras enfurecerse por un artículo que afirmaba que el cribado corporal por TAC era la forma de mantenerse sano. Su trabajo, impulsado por el deseo de examinar a fondo los temas médicos, ha aparecido en importantes periódicos y revistas del Reino Unido, así como en publicaciones profesionales. A través de su escritura, desafía las prácticas médicas convencionales y anima a los lectores a pensar críticamente.
