What Happens After Midnight in the Hospitals of Primrose, Graz
Across Primrose, Graz, Styria, physicians carry stories they have never told their patients, their colleagues, or sometimes even their families—stories of moments when the practice of medicine intersected with something they can only call the divine. "Physicians' Untold Stories" by Dr. Scott Kolbaba creates a safe space for these narratives. The book reveals that the phenomenon is far more common than most people realize: a 2004 survey found that 74% of physicians believed in miracles, and more than half reported witnessing what they considered to be miraculous events. These statistics come alive in the personal accounts that fill this volume, each one grounded in specific clinical details, each one challenging the assumption that modern medicine has eliminated the space for mystery. In Primrose, Graz, where faith communities remain strong, these stories resonate with particular power.
