The Stories Medicine Never Says Out Loud in Plaza, Île Sainte-Marie
Among the many remarkable accounts in Dr. Scott Kolbaba's "Physicians' Untold Stories," several involve patients whose immune systems appeared to activate in ways that current immunology cannot fully explain. Tumors that had resisted chemotherapy suddenly shrank. Infections that had overwhelmed antibiotics suddenly cleared. Autoimmune conditions that had progressively destroyed tissue suddenly reversed. For immunologists and oncologists in Plaza, Île Sainte-Marie, Coastal Madagascar, these cases represent genuine scientific puzzles — not supernatural claims to be dismissed, but biological events to be studied. Kolbaba's book makes the case that the first step in understanding these phenomena is acknowledging that they occur, and that physicians must be free to report them without fear of professional consequences.
