The Cuba Mission
We had no CT scanner, no electronic health records, and a pharmacy that ran out of basic antibiotics by the third week. But we had time — time to talk to patients, time to listen to their stories, time to be present in a way that American medicine had never allowed me to be.

The Real Cost of Being the Best

Why testimony and controlled research answer different questions
Testimony can document that a person had an experience and reveal its personal consequences. Controlled research can estimate patterns, compare groups, and test limited hypotheses. Neither form should be presented as though it performs the other function.
When the two are placed together, keep their labels visible. A moving account can motivate a research question, while research can supply context, but the emotional strength of the story does not increase the study quality.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Are publication date, authorship, and editorial review status visible?
- 2.Were witnesses interviewed independently rather than as a group?
- 3.Is “unexplained” being used as a description or as proof of a cause?
- 4.Does a quoted number link to a source that actually supports that number?
- 5.Is a personal belief clearly labeled instead of presented as medical consensus?
