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.

When Faith Met Science in the NICU
The infant was born at twenty-three weeks, weighing just over a pound. The neonatology team gave him a ten percent chance of survival. His family held prayer vigils in the hospital chapel every night. Against every prediction, he not only survived but thrived — and the NICU staff had to grapple with what they witnessed.

Reading extraordinary claims without losing empathy
People often share unusual experiences because the event affected their identity, relationships, or fear of death. A purely argumentative response can miss that human purpose. Empathy means hearing the account accurately; it does not require accepting every proposed cause.
One useful practice is to summarize the experience in neutral language before evaluating it. Separate what was seen or remembered from what the narrator believes it means, then identify which parts could be checked against independent records.
Five checkpoints for this route
- 1.Does the article avoid replacing professional care with an inspirational story?
- 2.Could medication, physiology, expectation, or memory affect the account?
- 3.Are observation and interpretation written as separate statements?
- 4.Could a reader reproduce the article’s source trail without guessing?
- 5.Does the article report the study sample and its major limitations?
