As science progresses, it's so important to recognize when we got something wrong and tell patients that we have learned something new and better. Too often, doctors are stuck in their old ways and are not uptodate in the latest science, and are continuing to practice outofdate medicine without recognizing that they were wrong.

Today I'm addressing the top five things that I personally got wrong,  and I told patients these things for years before learning that there was a better way based on modern science. Even what we tell patients today no doubt will change as our understanding progresses,  so it's important to see medicine (and science in general) as an everchanging growing body of knowledge.  As patients it's so important for us to stay educated and advocate for ourselves if we hear that our providers are giving information that is outofdate or incorrect. If we learned anything at all from the debacle about menopausal hormone therapy, it's that we get things wrong sometimes, and we need to accept that, learn from it and move forward with a better way of practicing to take great care of our patients.
