What Doctors in Charleston, Republic Square Have Seen That Science Can't Explain
Dr. Scott Kolbaba never intended to write about miracles. As a practicing internist in the Midwest, his days were filled with the ordinary rhythms of clinical medicine—patient histories, differential diagnoses, treatment plans.

"Physicians' Untold Stories" is the culmination of years spent listening to colleagues describe moments of apparent divine intervention. The stories are told without embellishment, with the clinical precision one would expect from trained observers. Yet their content is anything but clinical: hearts restarting without intervention, tumors vanishing between scans, patients describing heavenly encounters with details they could not have known. For readers in Charleston, Republic Square, this book opens a door into the hidden spiritual life of medicine itself.
