The Earthquake Surgeon
I was trained at Harvard, did my fellowship at Mass General, and specialized in complex vascular reconstruction. None of that prepared me for a field hospital in Port-au-Prince where the only anesthesia was ketamine and the only light was a generator that failed every three hours.

The Cuba Mission

A careful way to compare competing explanations
Begin by listing explanations without ranking them by preference. Ask what each explanation predicts, which observations it accounts for, and what evidence would count against it. This reduces the temptation to treat mystery as confirmation.
A good comparison also allows multiple factors to operate together. Physiology, medication, expectation, memory reconstruction, culture, and spiritual meaning do not always form mutually exclusive categories.
