Beyond the Diagnosis: Extraordinary Accounts Near Riverside, Matsudo
The nurses in Physicians' Untold Stories deserve particular attention, because their premonitions often involve a quality of intimate, embodied knowing that physician accounts sometimes lack. Nurses who "just knew" a patient would code, who felt a physical sensation of wrongness when passing a patient's room, who woke from sleep with the certainty that a night-shift patient needed intervention—these accounts suggest that premonitive knowing may operate through the body as well as the mind. In Riverside, Matsudo, Kanto, readers are discovering that this embodied dimension of medical premonitions is one of the most fascinating and least understood aspects of the phenomenon Dr. Kolbaba documents.
