The Real Cost of Being the Best
I had won every award, published in every major journal, and was on track to become chief of cardiology. I was also drinking a bottle of wine every night, hadn't spoken to my daughter in three months, and couldn't remember the last time I felt anything other than exhausted.

What makes a source useful
A useful source lets readers trace a claim. For research, that usually means an identifiable paper, DOI, methods, participant count, and limitations. For a personal account, it means a clear provenance note and an honest description of what records or witnesses are available.
Popularity, professional status, and emotional force can increase interest, but they do not replace documentation. Strong editorial work makes the source trail visible and tells readers when the trail ends.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Does a quoted number link to a source that actually supports that number?
- 2.Could medication, physiology, expectation, or memory affect the account?
- 3.Is “unexplained” being used as a description or as proof of a cause?
- 4.Are changed names, composite details, and confidentiality limits disclosed?
- 5.Could a reader reproduce the article’s source trail without guessing?
