About the Book

Dr. Scott Kolbaba spent three years interviewing over 200 physicians for this book.

Kuwait City: Where History, Medicine, and the Supernatural Converge

Kuwaiti supernatural traditions blend Bedouin desert lore with maritime legends from the country's pearl diving and seafaring heritage. Failaka Island, evacuated during the Iraqi invasion and never fully repopulated, has become Kuwait's most prominent 'haunted' location, with its combination of 4,000-year-old Dilmun temple ruins and abandoned modern buildings creating an eerie landscape. Kuwaiti sailors historically believed in sea djinn called 'bu darya' (father of the sea) who could capsize boats, and pearl divers performed protective rituals before descending. The 'umm al-duwais,' a beautiful female djinn who lures men to their doom, is one of Kuwait's most famous supernatural figures, with stories passed down through Bedouin oral tradition. Many Kuwaitis still consult 'mutawwa' (religious practitioners) for Quranic healing and protection from the evil eye, djinn possession, and black magic.

Kuwait's modern medical history began in earnest with the discovery of oil and the establishment of its first modern hospitals in 1949. Before oil wealth, Kuwaitis relied on traditional healers who practiced cauterization, herbal medicine, and bone-setting. The transformation was dramatic: Kuwait now offers free healthcare to all citizens through a well-funded public system. During the 1990 Iraqi invasion and occupation, Kuwaiti physicians demonstrated extraordinary courage, continuing to operate hospitals under occupation forces and secretly treating resistance fighters. The aftermath of the Gulf War also created significant environmental health challenges, as the burning of over 700 oil wells created toxic smoke that affected the population's respiratory health, leading to long-term epidemiological studies on the health effects of oil fire exposure.
