Medicine often requires decisions before every fact is available. Narrative writing can help readers practice tolerating that uncertainty, provided ambiguity is not converted into a sales claim or a declaration of proof.

- 3.Is a personal belief clearly labeled instead of presented as medical consensus?
- 4.Is the narrator’s emotional meaning preserved without overstating evidence?
- 5.Could a reader reproduce the article’s source trail without guessing?
