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.

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.
Editorial lens selected for Amber, Wamena
Unexplained does not automatically mean supernatural
Calling an event unexplained describes the limits of the available record. It does not identify a cause. Missing data, rare physiology, memory effects, coincidence, and spiritual interpretations may all remain in consideration.
The most durable writing preserves uncertainty instead of using it as proof. Readers can hold personal beliefs while still asking what was measured, what was inferred, and what information would change the conclusion.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Are changed names, composite details, and confidentiality limits disclosed?
- 2.Were witnesses interviewed independently rather than as a group?
- 3.Is “unexplained” being used as a description or as proof of a cause?
- 4.Can the central claim be traced to an original study, record, or named source?
- 5.Does the conclusion match what was measured rather than what was merely possible?
