About this episode
“However much we flatter ourselves about our individual rationality, a good story, no matter how analytically deficient, lingers in the mind, resonates emotionally, and persuades more than the most dispositive facts or data.”
Inspired by the article "The impact of cult behavior on haematopoietic cell transplant practices: believers and non-believers" (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41409-021-01473-w), in this episode, Anthony and Bernie are joined by transplant experts Tate Feeney, PharmD, BCOP and Aaron "Papa heme" Goodman, MD, to discuss "cult-like thinking" in hematology and BMT. We discuss why this occurs, go through some provocative examples, and talk about how to identify bias or ”cult-like thinking” in our own practices!
