He had delivered thousands of babies, diagnosed thousands of cancers, pronounced thousands of deaths. He thought he was ready to stop. But medicine had become so woven into who he was that retiring felt like losing his identity.

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.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Does the article avoid replacing professional care with an inspirational story?
- 2.Are alternative explanations described fairly and specifically?
- 3.Were witnesses interviewed independently rather than as a group?
- 4.Does the article report the study sample and its major limitations?
- 5.Is the narrator’s emotional meaning preserved without overstating evidence?
