Step 2 · Editorial composite · Mistakes And Lessons

The Village Doctor
In a town without a hospital, a clinic with one exam room, and a pharmacy that closes at 6 PM, being a doctor means something different. It means delivering three generations of the same family. It means making house calls in a snowstorm. And it means being told, on the day you almost quit, that you saved a life you didn't know you'd saved.

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.

A careful way to compare competing explanations
Begin by listing explanations without ranking them by preference. Ask what each explanation predicts, which observations it accounts for, and what evidence would count against it. This reduces the temptation to treat mystery as confirmation.
A good comparison also allows multiple factors to operate together. Physiology, medication, expectation, memory reconstruction, culture, and spiritual meaning do not always form mutually exclusive categories.
