The difference between a meaningful story and a medical conclusion
A narrative can change how a reader thinks about grief, uncertainty, or professional identity without proving why an event happened. That distinction protects both the emotional value of the account and the standards used for medical evidence.
Read for what the narrator noticed, what remains undocumented, and which interpretation was added afterward. The strongest response is neither automatic belief nor automatic dismissal; it is careful attention to the boundary between observation and explanation.
