Reading for uncertainty instead of certainty
Medicine often requires decisions before every fact is available. Narrative writing can help readers practice tolerating that uncertainty, provided ambiguity is not converted into a sales claim or a declaration of proof.
Mark statements as observation, recollection, interpretation, or research finding. That simple classification reveals where confidence is justified and where a question should remain open.
Five checkpoints for this route

- 3.Are changed names, composite details, and confidentiality limits disclosed?
- 4.Is “unexplained” being used as a description or as proof of a cause?
- 5.Does a quoted number link to a source that actually supports that number?
