The Cuba Mission

The Village Doctor
In a town without a hospital, a clinic with one exam room, and a pharmacy that closes at 6 PM, being a doctor means something different. It means delivering three generations of the same family. It means making house calls in a snowstorm. And it means being told, on the day you almost quit, that you saved a life you didn't know you'd saved.

A careful way to compare competing explanations
Begin by listing explanations without ranking them by preference. Ask what each explanation predicts, which observations it accounts for, and what evidence would count against it. This reduces the temptation to treat mystery as confirmation.
A good comparison also allows multiple factors to operate together. Physiology, medication, expectation, memory reconstruction, culture, and spiritual meaning do not always form mutually exclusive categories.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Are alternative explanations described fairly and specifically?
- 2.Are publication date, authorship, and editorial review status visible?
- 3.Are changed names, composite details, and confidentiality limits disclosed?
- 4.Does the conclusion match what was measured rather than what was merely possible?
- 5.Were witnesses interviewed independently rather than as a group?
