The Color of Sound

He could taste colors and see music — a rare form of synesthesia. But what made his case extraordinary was not the synesthesia itself, but what it allowed him to perceive that others could not.

The Epidemic

It started with one fever in a small town. Within three weeks, seventeen people were dead and the CDC had quarantined the entire county. I was the physician in charge. This is the story of what actually happened.

Step 3 · Editorial composite · Unexplained Phenomena

The Patient Who Knew Too Much

The patient's EEG was isoelectric for eighteen minutes. There is no known mechanism by which a brain with no electrical activity could form, store, or retrieve memories. Yet he recalled, in precise detail, the conversations that took place around his bed during those eighteen minutes.

Step 4 · Editorial composite · Burnout

Unexplained does not automatically mean supernatural

Calling an event unexplained describes the limits of the available record. It does not identify a cause. Missing data, rare physiology, memory effects, coincidence, and spiritual interpretations may all remain in consideration.

The most durable writing preserves uncertainty instead of using it as proof. Readers can hold personal beliefs while still asking what was measured, what was inferred, and what information would change the conclusion.

Five checkpoints for this route

  1. 1.Are alternative explanations described fairly and specifically?
  2. 2.Is the narrator’s emotional meaning preserved without overstating evidence?
  3. 3.Is a personal belief clearly labeled instead of presented as medical consensus?
  4. 4.Are observation and interpretation written as separate statements?
  5. 5.Is “unexplained” being used as a description or as proof of a cause?
