Voices From the Bedside: Physician Stories Near Clear Creek, Montego Bay

The medical schools that trained the physicians of Clear Creek, Montego Bay, North Coast taught them to trust evidence, follow protocols, and document outcomes.

Yet this is precisely the situation described by the physicians in Dr. Scott Kolbaba's "Physicians' Untold Stories." Their accounts span decades and specialties, united by a shared experience of confronting the limits of medical knowledge. The book does not ask readers to believe in miracles; it asks them to listen to the testimony of credible witnesses and to consider what that testimony means. In Clear Creek, Montego Bay, where the traditions of faith and medicine have long coexisted, this invitation carries special resonance.
