The Cuba Mission
We had no CT scanner, no electronic health records, and a pharmacy that ran out of basic antibiotics by the third week. But we had time — time to talk to patients, time to listen to their stories, time to be present in a way that American medicine had never allowed me to be.

The Visible Wound
The rash was unremarkable — contact dermatitis, I assumed. But when I asked her about her life, about her stress, about what was really going on, she started to cry. And I learned that sometimes the most important diagnosis is the one that isn't on the skin.

Reading extraordinary claims without losing empathy
People often share unusual experiences because the event affected their identity, relationships, or fear of death. A purely argumentative response can miss that human purpose. Empathy means hearing the account accurately; it does not require accepting every proposed cause.
One useful practice is to summarize the experience in neutral language before evaluating it. Separate what was seen or remembered from what the narrator believes it means, then identify which parts could be checked against independent records.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Can the central claim be traced to an original study, record, or named source?
- 2.Does the page distinguish cardiac arrest, resuscitation, and irreversible death?
- 3.Would the wording still be accurate if the preferred explanation were wrong?
- 4.Is “unexplained” being used as a description or as proof of a cause?
- 5.Is a personal belief clearly labeled instead of presented as medical consensus?
