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 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 editorial responsibility behind extraordinary stories
Extraordinary medical stories involve real risks: patient privacy, reputational harm, false reassurance, and confusion between reflection and health advice. Clear provenance and restrained language are therefore part of the product, not decorative disclaimers.
Readers should be able to see who wrote a piece, whether it is a composite, which sources support its research claims, and how to find professional help when the subject involves health or crisis.
