The Visible Wound

The rash was unremarkable — contact dermatitis, I assumed. But when I asked her about her life, about her stress, about what was really going on, she started to cry. And I learned that sometimes the most important diagnosis is the one that isn't on the skin.

Step 3 · Editorial composite · Ghost Stories

The editorial responsibility behind extraordinary stories

Extraordinary medical stories involve real risks: patient privacy, reputational harm, false reassurance, and confusion between reflection and health advice. Clear provenance and restrained language are therefore part of the product, not decorative disclaimers.

Readers should be able to see who wrote a piece, whether it is a composite, which sources support its research claims, and how to find professional help when the subject involves health or crisis.

  2. 2.Can the central claim be traced to an original study, record, or named source?

  4. 4.Are publication date, authorship, and editorial review status visible?
  5. 5.Are observation and interpretation written as separate statements?
