Author note: What follows is part 2 of a series intended to summarize and explain just how, historically, we went off the rails with cholesterol. Check out part 1 here. In the early 1990s, Eugene Braunwald and the cardio

In the early 19th century, the French physician Pierre-Charles-Alexandre Louis did something medicine had rarely done before: he counted. At the time, bloodletting was standard. It was elegant, logical, and universally a
Earlier this week media reported that Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the Secretary of Health and Human Services, had surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff. That’s interesting. Not just because I wrote about rotator cuff surgery
