The Mountain Clinic
The clinic had no electricity, no running water, and a pharmacy stocked entirely by donations. But when a woman I had treated five years earlier walked for three days to bring me a handmade scarf and tell me she was alive, I understood what medicine is actually for.

When Faith Met Science in the NICU
The infant was born at twenty-three weeks, weighing just over a pound. The neonatology team gave him a ten percent chance of survival.

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.
